Oh Dear, Broken Technology!

Well my plan to blog more often has not really worked, I have a camera that wont turn on and have just gone to charge my FlipHD video camera and noticed that I have cracked the lens cover! I have been on line and it can be replaced by a watch repairer so that the plan in town tomorrow, after the Olympic torch as gone as I wont be able to park when the torch is going through town!

My next blog was going to be pictures of my knitted donkeys, that I am knitting for the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, Devon. I have made 3 mini wooleys and 2 large woolies at the moment, more to be made before my trip down to visit in August.

If anyone wants the patterns for these (and there are crocheted patterns for items too) you can contact Ruth Burrough through the Donkey Sanctuary website and they can be emailed out.

If the stills camera really wont work, I will be getting another in August, but going to try everything I can (short of hitting it! - well I wont hit it too hard).

Ducks and Donkeys

Well its been ages since I have posted, so have decided to start to post a little more regular now. I have a new Laptop so its much more easy and quick to upload pictures, and thanks to my coming second in a competition I now have a very cool Flip ultraHD video camera! Never had one before so I have been experimenting, and below is my first movie!

The 3 drakes that are on the beginning of the movie have been removed from living with the ladies as they are a little too amorous and keep leaping on my ladies! The other 2 drakes still living with the ladies are much more sedate.

I am making this year my year for charity knitting, and although I have only made one I have decided to make lots of knitted donkeys for The Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth, in the South West of England. I love donkeys and when we lived in England I used to go and see them, now whenever we visit family down in England we make a point of visiting the Donkeys. I have until the End of August to knit a whole heard so watch this space!!
