Wollmeise Wednesday

Wow, This is a yarn that I have wanted for ages! I can't believe that I managed to actually get some.

It is Wollmeise Poison Nr 5 and I will love it and pet it and call it George



One of these will definitely become an Ishbel.

I also managed to buy some other colours, oops:

Petit Poison


Fliederbusch


Der Letze Versuch


Purple is my favourite colour.
The camera does not capture the beautiful colours of the wollmeise at all, they are lovely.

Christmas has definitely come early.

Spooky

We don't celebrate Halloween in Australia but over the years it is becoming increasingly popular. This year, as a favour for a friend Miss A and I went to the Parents Without Partners (PWOP - there's a whole 'nother post there) Halloween Party.

Of course we had to dress up gah!:

Miss A looking scary as the Grim Reaper and me as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. So easy to do BTVS - wack on a blonde wig and go find Mr Pointy and we're all set. This is the best picture of BTVS although I couldn't work out why the flash wasn't working, it took me ages to work out that my finger was covering it - and I have 6 photos to prove it. I wish I could blame that on the blonde wig but unfortunately my brain has decided not to work properly for a few weeks now.

My friend and her daughter went as a witch and the devil. I can post this pic as it doesn't show her face and I don't like posting pics of others without their permission and if i asked her then she would know about this blog and shhh it's a secret.


They had some activities for the kids like this one:

Miss A and her team had to wrap a small child in toilet paper, you can just see the poor little paper-wrapped boy. They also had an eyeball and spoon race.

It was a good night lots of music and most people made the effort to dress up.

Watch out, she's comin' for you, and you and.....you!
