Poem about a fly

I don't know why, but I wrote a poem about a fly! So what should I do, but share it with you!

I know, I know, not great, but I never professed to be a poet.  However, I did write it down and here is the result ....

The Fly
My oh my, was that a fly,

that went passing by,

flew into my eye,

and made me cry?

My oh my, it was a fly!

It flew into my eye,

I said with a sigh,

I hope it'll die.

If this poem has offended anyone, either because you like flies or just because it's so lame ... sorry!

Crochet Kindle Cover

Well folks, I'm afraid to say it, but it's that time of year where I tend to pick up my crochet hook and knitting needles and settle into the sofa in front of the fire! This week I've been busy creating and I have to say I've quite enjoyed getting back into the 'loop' of things. 

So what, apart from the weather has spurred me into hooking my way through the next couple of months, well, I needed covers for both my Kindle and MacBook Pro.  I didn't really fancy sewing anything together and since I have a large stash of yarns kicking around it was a no brainer.

I only wanted something simple, not fancy stitches or multiple colours and it had to be quick.  So I picked a big crochet hook and some chunky green wool and set about 'fiddling'.  

It was much easier than I expected and only took me a couple of hours to work it out.  I stuck to a basic single crochet pattern and finished off with a nice green button to match!  I have to say, its nice and thick so pads the Kindle perfectly and I just love the way it's turned out!

If you would like me to make you one, I'm taking commissions ;-)
