April Show-ers on Folksy.

Time for an April Show-ers blog once more. The good weather has made the forums a bit quieter on Folksy, but there are still quite a few of us listing. Bet you are glad to know that! Otherwise I might have to fill this space up with endless rhymes, that would be enough to give you nightmares. Ha ha!!
It was another beautiful day yesterday, quite a scorcher. I sat outside and crocheted. I finshed a jug/bowl cover and sewed lots of beads all around it. Then I made a couple of glass covers and matching coasters, all in bamboo yarn. I was really pleased with the way they turned out. Ideal for the summer to stop flys and wasps getting in your drinks while outside. I made the tops with a close stitch and put a lacy stitch for the overhang where the beads are attached to, so even if they land they shouldn`t be able to get in. Yay!!!
As usual, to see a description or larger picture, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!

So warm and sunny yesterday
all I wanted to do was lay
on a comfy sunbed and snooze.
I`ve heard, if you snooze you lose,
so I crocheted outside instead
of lazing on the tempting sunbed.
I worked my fingers to the bone
didn`t even stop for the phone.
I crocheted and beads were sewn
blimey, how the time had flown.
Then my grandaughter came to iron
cos I hate ironing, I`m not lyin`.
She whipped through the pile so fast
and soon was on the very last.
She`s keen to earn her own cash
mainly because she likes to dash
off with her friends, here and there
it usually entails entry and a fare.
She quite admired the odd old ditty
thought they were nice and quite witty.
She said you could be a poet
I quipped back, I just don`t know it.
A hug and a kiss and she was on her way
time for tea, nearly the end of the day!
