The Lemon Guys

This is my brother Spike, he's seven years old.

He has been watching me blog for a while now and last night he decided to create his own blog. It is called The Lemon Guys and it's pretty amazing. He mostly writes about cheese, actually he only writes about cheese. But it still rocks. And remember... he's only seven. 

Please Check out his blog HERE

A Polaroid a Day.

I mentioned my polaroid a day project on one of my earlier blogs and I thought I would do a full blog on it now as it's going pretty well. I got my polaroid camera a few months ago. It's one of the mini ones. You can buy them here. I love it so much but I'm always to scared or worried to use it. The thing is if you are always saving them for special occasions you end up never using it. So I decided to start my polaroid a day. 

I tied some strong thread across the wall in my bedroom and ever day I peg a picture onto it and write the date on the peg. 

I don't like to take that many photos but this is a really great way of summing up your day.

These are some of my favourite photos so far. The first is my mum and dad all dressed up for a party, the second is my brother in a pink wig, the third is me and posy in bed and the fourth is me and posy on my first day of my new school.

Even if you don't have a polaroid camera, a picture a day is a great way of having something to show for your week and it's super easy. 

I hope everyone is have a lovely day. I have decided to start christmas baking early so I have been making fudge all week and keeping a little bowl of it by the door. It doesn't last long!

Knitted Bows

I saw some crocheted bows on a blog I love recently and although I dont yet know how to crochet (its on my to-make list) I decided to come up with some easy-to-make knitted bows. And as you can see I got a little carried away and made nine of them. They look really great and are a great way to use up small balls of yarn. I'm still not sure what to do with them though. I may stick on them on hair clips or turn them into necklaces... the possibilities are endless (ok not endless but there are quite a few possibilities) 

If your looking for a small, fun project I would really recommend trying out a few of these. 

Here is the pattern:

You will need

- Some yarn - pick a bright colour as I found these worked much better than the darker colours.

- Some knitting needles - It doesn't really matter what size needles you use as these bows can be any size. I used size 5 needles and a lot of different size wools but its really up to you.

- A yarn needle for sewing in the ends.

1. Cast on 7 stitches, leaving a fairly long tale. 
2. Knit until the piece measures 4 inches long.
3. Sew in one of your tales of yarn and use the other longer tale to sew the two ends of the piece together, making a circular shape.
4. Cut a long piece of yarn and wrap it around the middle of the circle. Once you feel it is sufficiently wrapped use your yarn needle to secure the middle. 
5. Enjoy your lovely little bow.

I know this pattern doesn't really make sense but it's pretty simple and hopefully if you feel like making some it will make sense to you. If not, please comment with any questions and I will be happy to correct myself. 

I hope everyone is having a lovely lovely week.

Love Scarlett. 

P.S. Posy likes the bows too...

A Few Crafty Things..

For anyone who follows my twitter, you shall know I have recently started a new school. So far it is really really hard  going okay, but due to this big distraction (seriously what is the point of school if you're not at Hogwarts) I haven't been doing as much solid knitting action. I have however been doing a few fun crafty projects to keep myself occupied and pass the time while I wait for my 2 new favourite TV shows to come on.

1. 2 Broke Girls - starring favourite actress and Teen-Granny fan (EEEEEEEEEK) Kat Dennings

2. New Girl - Zooey Deschanel. In glasses. Enough said.

(if you haven't seen them already watch them NOW!)

So here are a few of the things I have made. 

Table Settings: A couple of nights ago my parents had a dinner party and I made these AWSOME table settings for them. Everyone loved them except I have compeletly messed up the scrabble kit. OOPS.

Knitted Bows: I came up with this pattern for knitted bows a few days ago and I can't stop making them. Once I have made enough I was thinking of putting them onto necklaces, broaches, hair clips or rings. I will blog the pattern in a few days.

A Poleroid a Day: I started this on my first day of school and so far it is going very well, although due to the dulness of my life the poleroids are not very captivating. Every day I take a poleroid and peg it onto this line that goes across my bedroom. I'm going to try and keep going until the end of the year. I will do a full blog on it one day but here is a little taster.


Here is todays poleroid (I am feeling awful and sick so have stayed in bed with Posy today)

Hope everyone is having a brilliant week. And remember to pick your Twit-Knit Club Hat pattern this weekend and send me the link! I haven't been able to get started yet due to flu :( but on the weekend me and my mum are going to buy materials and then I will get started. Keep me updated. And spread the word! Once I have a few pictures of people starting their blogs I will do an update post. 

Love Scarlett.
