Blame It On A Sunday Afternoon

I found this little recipe over at Elka Knits and had a go. It made me laugh, is that all it takes to make a Polly?

How to make a Polly

Ingredients:
1 part competetiveness
1 part ambition
3 parts energy

Method:
Blend at a low speed for 30 seconds. Add wisdom to taste! Do not overindulge!

Denim People Knit-along
I've made us a button. If you've made one too, let me know. What the heck, this wasn't the most inspired button. Still not too late to join in. We're starting with a loose deadline in July. I know that I won't start until I've finished my Exchange Thingy...and I'm running late with that.

Hemp Project

I frogged the Hemp edging and I'm about to start again. Some days, no matter what you do, things just don't work out.

Apparently I am 1 part success, 1 part crazyness and 1 part instinct.
Layer ingredients in a shot glass, add a little cocktail umbrella and a dash of emotion.

Now how did they guess I'm short enough to fit into a shot glass?

Just can't resist these - not too sure about the mercy though. I was once told I was the most unsympathetic person on the planet!!

Well apparently
I am 3parts pride, 1 part self sufficiency and 3parts ego. I am sure that this is not me!!!
Anyway yours should be at least 100 parts generosity and I am sure that all who know you will agree with me!!

Bet your veggies are enjoying the rain - more than my washing is! I'm 3 parts intelligence, 3 parts self-sufficiency, 3 parts leadership (?), layer in a shot glass and add a sprinkle of lutfulness....... I think yours is more accurate than mine......

Shame about the hemp - I also started something new (as you do on a wet Sunday) using the 4 ply Welsh wool, knew it was a bit rough, but it is actually making my hands sore knitting with it. Shall have to have a think.
