My 2011 calendar…
This is a little something I made for a giggle & for you.
I’m hoping that I’ll give Pickering (mine’s safe for work folks – I promise) a run for his money & grace the back of toilet doors globally…nationally…locally…ok at least at Claire, Christie & Shazza’s places because they encouraged me to take on this project in the first place.
I’ve been tinkering away on this for a couple of months…since you first got a laugh out of my noticing & beret shots. All crafty “disguises” have been fashioned by me, some especially for the project & some were just loitering about the house in various states of completion.
I dragged the little guy in to check out my “folio”. He watched in horror as I flicked through the images & then we had this conversation…
Little guy: “Mum, this is terrible. Nobody is going to want this.”
Me: “It’s free buddy.”
Little guy: “Even then Mum. Only your friends will look at it, because they’ll feel sorry for you.”
I’m confident that anyone who reads here regularly will enjoy the calendar & take it in the spirit in which it’s intended. For any new-to-me folk who are saying to themselves “This girl’s got a touch of the Warren Beattys about her.” – well, there’s something in there for you too. x

A very happy weekend to you all.

At first I thought, "wow I'm so glad my birthday is in April" because I loved it so much! Then I scrolled down and saw July and August and laughed so hard I almost needed to rush to the toilet! It's so great Kirsty! No toilet door for this little gem – straight to the pool room!

That is too freaking good. And while I know kids always know more than their parents, break it gently when you tell the munchkin this time he got it wrong!

The calendar looks awesome. I would love to be able not to take myself seriously, like you do.
I love the pile of granny squares, and as I read around, I can see I'm not the only one.
Have a great month of October!
