Crocheting

I used to crochet and knit before i fell of my horse in september 2006 but i hurt myself very bad including breaking my arm in three places which have needed several operations.
I wish i could do this now but at the moment i cant possibly manage to as it hurts more than enough doing the papercrafting but it is easier to do as i can use my left hand a lot more.
The three first photos are done by using an old crocheting technique called Tunisian crocheting and i loved doing it so i got lots of these and the granny squares which in the end are ment to be a big blanket.

Some photos of the chinchillas




My adorable cats



Well ours really as i share all the animals with my best friend in the world Renate, i wish everyone was so lucky to have a friend like that but by all means she got her loopy sides but i love her.
We started with getting one cat from the RSPCA here in Norway better known as "dyrebeskyttelsen",we dont know much about her really but we know she had a hard life before she came to us and then she was about a 10 months to a year but she was beautiful and we fell inlove instantly.
We had her for about 3 weeks and she was starting to trust us more and more but then one night we couldnt see her anywhere and we really freaked out.
After a little bit we saw my bedroom window had a tiny gap and i mean tiny but she had obviusly had managed to get out that way, so then it was about 10 awful days where we put up posters everywhere and we advertised in the paper and on the internet with no luck, no one answered and we were just heartbroken really, we had my bedroom window open 24/7 just incase she came home on her own and imagine what........one night really late she did and you can imagine our joy, i dont tink i ever got on my feet so quick to go and close the window,lol and we gave her food and water and there was even a bowl with fish ready standing near my window in hope that she would smell it.
We were so happy and even though it was really late we had to call my mother in pure joy and we annonced it all over over the net that she was back home.
But guess our little kitty cat must have met a lovely man on her trip in freedom,lol as after about 9 weeks a little miracle was born and we named her Sunny Hope as she was born on a sunny day.
So now we have two cats living a happy spoiled life.

A presentation of my chinchillas; a part of the zoo in my house



we can start with the oldest resident which is Rambo, he is a black velvet and a right old grandad,lol but he is a sweetheart.

Then we have litchie, shes a beige and a very unique caracter,she has very special meanings on who she likes and dont like and she is the best at making herself look sweet so she can get a treat.

We also got Hera and shes known as the “barker” cause shes a right little guard dog that barks if you get to close, on the other hand she does not mind if you let her climb onto your hands so she can catch a ride with you out to freedom which is the bathroom for the chins, that is the place where they can run and play safely which is very important to me.

then we have Chantel, shes a black & white and the newest of the bunch, she is at the moment considering getting herself a husband hi hi, she is the youngest and the most energetic chin i have ever seen, shes a total nutcase, she eats on everything and as soon as you even try to open the cage she is there and on her way out and more than once she has managed it so its chin chase for her mummies,lol

Skiddy widdy is a darling shy boy and he was the grand father to our now gone Tellus Ozzy,R.I.P ozzy we miss you dearly.
Skiddy is named after a friend of mine as his daughter used to call him skiddy widdy pants when she was a baby, we figured skiddy was a more fun name than Tellus O maley which was his “birthname”
Skiddy is the most calm of the lot but enjoys a cuddle too. R.iP skiddy, i do miss you so much

Last (sort of) we have “Babe”, she is what we call the big bum in the house cause she definetly got a big bum,lol . but she is stunning but has her very weird habbits and is it something she hates its being groomed.
I said last but we have another 2 chins which i really gave to my “baby sister” but due to some family circumstances i had to take them back so they are currently living with my mother and she enjoys the company.
My mother has “destiny” and my first born chin “Jasmine!” staying there and they are TOV violet and brown velvet of colour, both cute chinnies and love like they all to get sweets and TLC.
So there are the chins introduced, next time i will tell you all about the cats who rule this house.lolA picture of Babe
