Worst Disaster - Draw Now Done


Godmuvva has finally decided on the best "worst crafting disaster". Godmuvva enjoyed every story, and would like to thank everybody for their participation in her little promotion. Godmuvva was very stressed about choosing just one story. Godmuvva thought all of the disaster stories were great..too great to choose just one......Godmuvva was so stressed she had to go take a little "nip" of her medicinals and call in Da Godfavva. Godfavva chose the disaster story by Clare of Clare's Craftoom. Congrats to Clare........Godmuvva will be emailing you soon....

Only one person shared their knitting disaster story with Godmuvva, so Godmuvva has decided to re-run this giveaway shortly......so please wrack your brains all you crazy knitters or crocheters out there and share your disaster stories with Godmuvva.........and then its easy, all you have to do then is watch this space !!!

Meanwhile Godmuvva is off to prepare for the new grandchild who was supposed to come into the world yesterday, but has been postponed now until tomorrow.

Godmuvva's Ready For The New Baby

Godmuvva Has Finally Finished Her Baby Rug......Just In The Nick Of Time!!!!

Godmuvva has been busy putting the finishing touches to "Miss Polly's" Baby Rug......hurrying, hurrying.....Miss Polly comes into the world tomorrow.....Godmuvva was searching for something pretty and special for this baby, and stumbled accross this pattern at Annies Attic. Godmuvva didn't know whether the baby was a boy or a girl when she first started the rug, so the blue was to represent the water. Then Godmuvva found out the baby was a girl and just had to add some pink.........Godmuvva is soooooooo addicted to pink !!!! And being blonde too.......

The Animals In The Ark
Here is a closer look at the animals in the ark, the Giraffe, The Elephant, The Lion and the really cute monkey........Godmuvva had such fun knitting all of them....Godmuvva loves to "create"......Godmuvva is so very pleased with the this rug and just had to share it with all her blogging friends......

Girly Joke For The Week

Godmuvva thinks a couple of baby jokes would be appropriate this week:

How can you tell if a snake is a baby snake?
It has a rattle.
Blonde Mother: Why is there a strange baby in the crib?
Daughter: You told me to change the baby.
Q: Am I more likely to get pregnant if my husband wears boxers or briefs?
A: You'll have an even better chance if he doesn't wear anything all all.
Yeah, Godmuvva knows they are pretty "corny" jokes this week, but believe me, baby jokes are pretty few and far between.....off to prepare to mind darling grandson so his new baby sister can join us tomorrow......And lots of love to you all from Da Godmuvva

Oh What A Week...

Golly Goshes, what a week Godmuvva has just experienced! Godmuvva has been busy knitting, knitting, knitting…sometimes at 1.30am till 3.00am…too many deadlines to meet..........Godmuvva is “oh so very pooped” and totally exhausted at the mo…….Godmuvva minded her darling grandson again today, Godmuvva’s darling grandson is like a “blowfly in a bottle”……non stop………Godmuvva sure does need a pep pill !! Yet again!!!! Must be that time of the week for the poor old Godmuvva.………

Isn't She Lovely........


Godmuvva wanted to share her latest member of the family with everybody. When Godmuvva first looked into her lovely “teddy bear” eyes Stevie Wonder’s song sprung straight to mind………Isn’t She Luuuuuuuuvely………Isn’t She BEEEEEEUUUUTIIFUL!!!!



Godmuvva would like to introduce you to Miss Lillian……..That is short for “Miss Lillian B.Bear” of course. Miss Lillian was “created” from Chenille wool, using a combination of soft colours, Pink, Cream and White. Miss Lillian’s lovely 50's style skirt was sewn from a pretty fairy print fat quarter,edged in shocking pink lace and supported by a pale blue tule underskirt, pink lace leggings, and pastel pink pearl laces adorn her cute little feet. Miss Lillian is wearing a lovely pink hand knitted Chenille cardi, trimmed with the cutest pink lace, and delicate “rose style” glass buttons, and adorning a lovely set of soft pink and cream pearls and a soft pink satin bow in her hair (or is that ear??). Miss Lillian’s outfit was created by non other than .........ta da......Da Godmuvva.(And yes, Miss Lillian B.Bear is a blonde !!)

Keep The Stories Rolling In For The Giveaways

There sure are some beauties !! Godmuvva's gang sure have experienced some disasters..that's for sure....... Thanks gang…….and please please keep them rolling in won’t you………Godmuvva is certainly enjoying every story..

Friday’s Giggle For The Girls!!!


And now for Godmuvva's usual girlie giggle for Friday…..

A man meets a gorgeous blonde woman in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together.
They get back to her place, and as she shows him around her apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears.
Hundreds of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher and huge bears on the top shelf along the wall.
The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.
After a night of passion, as they are lying together in the afterglow, the man rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?".
She replied, "You may select any prize from the bottom self".

Pink Bobbles Too Much For Godmuvva's Pink Brain

Oh my golly goshes.......what a weekend for Da Godmuvva.....mvpdd (=most very pregnant darling daughter) bought Godmuvva a special ball of wool from Lincraft, for a treat, while on holidays (thank goodness she only bought one ball!!) Godmuvva spent all weekend wracking her brain to the utmost limit, trying to knit the bobbles so that they would line up under each other in each row......not easy to do........Godmuvva only managed to knit a mess!!

Check closely on the pic of the blue scarf and you will see how neatly this wool can be knitted.......mmmmmmmm............back to the drawing board for Godmuvva......Godmuvva is getting too old for all this pressure...Godmuvva thinks she would prefer wool from the "olden days"....much thinner, but ohhhhh so much easier to knit !! And Godmuvva has more hair too (not pulling it out by the roots!!)
