Here are more pics of Amineko/Aminekos/Amineki (just exactly what IS the plural of Amineko??) enjoying the sunshine...

Melbourne Demons Amineko (an Aussie Rules football team.  AFL is extremely popular in Melbourne and one of the first question's recent migrants to Melbourne receive is, "Which team do you go for?"  It doesn't matter what reason you have for choosing a team, you absolutely MUST choose one before Melburnians accept you into their fold!!  Strange but true!


Oooops, maybe had one beer too many at the footy

Goodness Gracious!

Why goodness gracious!!  My pile of yarn is ever-expanding...it has taken on a life of it's own!  Each weekend I tell myself, don't go down to the local craft store, but another voice inside always protests...but there's a yarn sale, but you need this colour, but you need that colour, but, but, but, but, BUT!


From this photo, you can tell which voice usually wins the battle!  I now have 4 storage boxes stuffed full of yarn waiting patiently to be crocheted into delightful creatures.



My birthday was a couple of months ago and my very thoughtful brother bought me these 2 amigurumi books.  I've flipped through the pages many a time pondering my next project, but must fill some orders I've got for cats and monkeys first (13 on the go at the moment! Wowsers!).  Who knew that deciding to re-take up an old hobby would lead to obsession and complete control over my spare time!  I must say though, I'm glad I've got something to do other than while away my hours on the couch in front of the tv or computer.
