Bart's new mouse

This is Bart looking at his new mouse.

This is is Bart trying to bite the mouse's head off.

This the new mouse

I was planning on giving them to the mogs on Christmas Day but they nicked it off me. I also made two more and they nicked them, too!! I have put catnip in them so they love them. Anyway, I have made some cat toy fishing rods. I just have to make the toys and attach them to the lines. Should be fun when they play with those. lol

Hello again

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been blogging, I've just been busy.

The other day my brother came and he dropped off some paint that my other brother sent up for us. The colours are magenta red, sky blue, lilac, marmalade , paprika and cornmeal. I chose sky blue and lilac for my bedroom and we [and the mogs] finished it yesterday. All I need to do is some glossing. So today I'm going to gloss it and help my mum do the hall; the colour we're doing the hall in is lemon.

I'm trying to knit a pink face cloth I've only done three rows so it will probaly be done in a week.

The other day me, Mum and my Grandma went to a cat welfare jumble sale sale and we got some great stuff. I got some RED lipstick, a top that some ladies gave free to me, a leather handbag and a pink laundry basket and a wooden cd rack. My Mum got a knitting basket, a shoe rack, some CDs and a three dimensional picture of a giraffe...she's called him Jerry and he's really cool. She also got some clothes that were supposed to be used to make a patchwork quilt but it turned out they all fit my mum and so she won't cut them up! lol She only got them because of the material..some of them are made of silk and linen. My Grandma got some fancy plant pot holders and a posh pink jumper that Mum bought for her.

The mogs have nicked my Mum's knitting basket and they take turns sleeping in it. lol

Gingerbread Men

Hi   everyone.

Sorry that I have not been blogging.  There was something  wrong with the computer.

The other day me and my mum made some ginger cookies; we where planning  to make ginger bread men but we did not know where the ginger bread man cutter was. 

These are the ingredients you need 

350g    plain   flour 

1  teaspoon  bicarbonate of soda 

2  teaspoons  of  ground  ginger 

100g   of   margarine

175g  light  muscovado sugar -  we only  had  white 

4  tablespoons  golden  syrup  

1  egg -  beaten  

pre  heat  oven to  190c 

Lightly  grease  3 baking trays.  Measure the flour, bicarbonate of soda  and ginger into  a bowl.  Rub the margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar, add the syrup and beaten egg to the flour mixture and mix to form a smooth dough, kneading lightly with your hands.   Then  divide the dough in half and roll out half on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread men  using a cutter and place them on to the prepared baking trays.  Repeat with remaining dough.  Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12  minutes until a slightly darker shade.  Cool slightly then lift on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Knitting

Hello. 

Today me and my Mum are going to my gran's again.   We're going to put up a wardrobe for her so she can hang her clothes up, at last.  My uncles were supposed to do this but can't get down to do it.  She's nagging a bit so my Mum is going to have a go a putting it up.

Yesterday, before I went to bed, I did a bit of knitting.   I am trying to knit a scarf with pink flowers.

Knitting is good for maths, 'coz you have to keep counting the stitches and repeats.  I haven't dropped any stitches yet.

We are going to join a knit and natter club.

In our garden we have two blueberry  pots and  they were ready, so I picked them and I'm going to make some blueberry muffins. 

              

Bart likes watching Buffy

Hello everyone.


Today me and Mum are going down to my Gran's again to show her a bit more on her new mobile phone.

Also today, after we have been to Gran's, we are going to my brother's place and my other brother has come up to see everyone.

Funny cat pics

These are just some funny cat pics.

Hi

Some of our pets:o)
Awkward Ringies, who did not want to pose for the camera

Lovely Bart

Handsome Henry. Nobody wanted him and Ringo when we tried to find them a home, just because they are black and white. I think Hen is so pretty,




I went to my Gran's yesterday.  I am teaching her how to use her new mobile phone.  It is a cool pink flip phone.

She keeps ringing up and saying she's done something to it so I keep having to sort her out.  So, she in turn showed me how to cast on at knitting.  I am trying to knit a scarf and sometimes drop a load of stitches so she sorts me out.  We help each other. 

I put a link in the side bar for some games.
