I love them all and granny is my favorite. It's what grannies do. I so remember this.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
Never mess with a granny who has her own tank!
I crochet. Granny has inspired me to crochet a bus. I just don't have a parking spot here in Boston big enough to hold it.
Perhaps you can crochet a parking spot as well?
That stain glass outhouse is stunning. Is it real?
Not sure if it's real. I did a reverse image search but it was inconclusive -- it's mentioned at this art studio but I can't tell if they actually built the thing or just whipped up an image. If it's real, it's a lot of work for what's essentially a joke.
I've seen Tiktoks of the shoebill bird and they are amazing. I have never knitted but that was funny. These were all great.
Seeing a shoebill on TikTok is one thing, but if I ran into one in person, I'd probably want to be in a tank, even a crocheted one.
Really nice image collection ....
Thanks! Plenty more where these came from.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
