My lovely puppies

Hi everyone! who is interested in making one of these puppies. I made this from a lovely lady who shared it for free. It is not hard to make. Give it a try and you’ll see how easy it is. I enjoyed making these dogs, and the combinations of colors is great. They are so cute that it is very hard to part from them. I included eyelids on the pink and blue puppies.I also put paws on the brown dog to see how it will look. See for yourself.

My childhood

Today I will tell you about my childhood. when I was nine years old my mother asked me if I wanted to go to the nuns convent. Since it was kind of fashion back then I said yes. I never regretted it, it was the best years of my life. So, one Saturday,  my younger sister Nadine,(different name)  she was seven and I went there. We were little, so when they made our beds, they put them together as they thought we would fall down. They also put plastic so we won’t wet the beds. I told then nun, we don’t pee in bed and she told me, here, you don’t say that, you say toilet. That was the first day, I still remember it so clearly. I am very proud to say, there, at the nuns, I learnt many things, I wouldn’t have learnt at home. I knew how to knit and purl at home. We were allocated jobs, from four years old to seventeen years old. The four year old, her job was to sweep the stairs. Mine was different every week, sometimes it was washing the breakfast cups and saucers and someone else will wipe and put away. Sometimes was to wash the dishes at dinner time with someone else. I used to wash the nuns’ plates not so much the rest of the other chores. The nun in the kitchen used to want me there to help her making biscuits and whatever sweets she did. But as a young girl, she would send me in the pantry, which was in another room to get her stuff. Like those tiny silver balls that you add to cookies. I wouldn’t know what she was talking about, so I stay there till she comes and get me. Sometimes, she would explain better, where the things are and I got her the right thing. I would feel so relieved.  The nuns were very good to us and we never were treated badly. In Christmas time, it felt like Christmas. Easter felt like Easter. We did dramas, we went picnics, we had a house near the beach and we went swimming. There was order, discipline, play time,work time,embroidery time, fun games. Today I wish to thank all those nuns in my life, I wish to see them and I love them all so much. I wish God will reward them for me. I’m living in Australia now and when I went for back holidays twenty three years ago, I went to visit the place, where I stayed for five years, till I was about fourteen. The place looked smaller now but i was so happy being there remember my childhood. There was only one nun left that I knew. The place is not for children any more. It is a home for older priests. I will stop here today.

Koala

Hi there,
How are you all, who is reading this? I will tell you what I witness yesterday, it was raining, so it was expected, I guess, what I’m about to tell you. I heard a car breaking really hard and I looked to see a car stopping hard because she couldn’t make the lights, and she reversed her car a little. Another car holden almost new, stopped behind this wagon car. At this point the green light came and I was looking the other way when I heard a hard smash of a car, so I looked in that direction to see it was the same lady who forgot to change her reverse gear to go forward, poor lady it wasn’t her day. The other couple got out to check the damage in their car.  I didn’t see any damage, but she had, she dented her car so they exchanged the numbers and whatever necessary. I felt sorry for the lady, now she has to go home and tell her husband and I thought what if he was an angry man.  It was her fault even though they say whoever hit you from the back is at fault. i thought I share that with you guys. I hope I didn’t bore you too much.

I am challenging myself in making a koala. I am writing the pattern as I go. I hope it turn out at least ok. Anyone is doing a new thing? I will post a picture of it once I finish it. I finished the koala and I didn’t write all the pattern. I was unpicking and it was challenging the way I imagine it to be anyway here is the picture of my koala.
