From  yelleena being lazy in a nice warm room...Australia is in winter. Cold nights, Stews, wet weather...no snow in Adelaide; I'm busy crocheting...made my mate a warm wool hat, making a shall for my daughter and granny square blanket for my self.

Hope the dental work went well, happy birthday. Maybe you could do a piece on Birthdays.

When one of my household has a birthday I make a spider-web (string or wool threaded through the house, up high and down low, anywhere I wish to go) that the birthday victim must follow the string to find their gift, they get their choice of meal and get to choose what kind of cake I make. we decorate if we wish. *hugs* from a lazy lioness yelleena

That sounds so lovely! Nice and cozy! I would love to see your finished knitted works.

The Birthday tradition you have is wonderful! I've never heard of it before. But it sounds special and amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your customs and world with me.

If I do a piece on birthdays I will add this for sure!

I use coloured wool for children but it I have one here that is a teen or up and likes a challenge I use grey cotton which is really hard to see and I sometimes tie in little gifts wrapped in foil hidden along the way. It really gets interesting when they realise I've got it strung all through the house then outside then back inside. Even adults get a little silly with it sometimes as they also have trouble figuring out how short little me managed to run a thread two meters up onto a light or fan fitting...secret I throw it over or us a long stick. For safety of course I usually don't block doorways with the thread but run it above or around, I even have a series of hidden nails through the house to run the strings. I do about a max of three or four if I have children and they have to untangle not only themselves but the web...each person gets a different colour. *hugs*

oops I'm in the faccc account sorry bout that...*hugs* from  yelleena
