Look what Jenna picked up on our walk!

Some rather funny pictures to show you here!
Yes you are right in thinking; that is a dummy in Jenna's mouth!
We were just on our ordinary dog walk when I suddenly see a flash of green in Jenna's mouth.
"What has she got now?" I ask to my Dad.
I pull her head torwards me only to be greeted by this silly sight!
I tell no lies. This was how we found the dummy! She must have been walking like this for a few minutes too just holding it like this in her jaws. Can you imagine what that must have looked like to a passerby?!
We quickly snapped up these pictures before she eventually started chewing it up.
So funny! I don't think we could have made her do that if we tried.

Adipose twins!

Here then are my latest woolly creations.
For Doctor Who fans out there you may recognise them as adipose but the pattern I worked off calls them fat babies for the purpose of dodging around the copyright!
I made these adipose as presents for two young girls so I'm not breaking the law or anything as these were'nt made for the intent of making money out of them.
These little blobs of fat are crocheted for a change. I've been doing a lot of knitting recently so it was good to swap needles for a hook!
I gave them to the girls today actually. They loved them! I was a bit worried that they wouldn't know what they were as they don't look hugely like the adipose on tv. But them being avid Dr Who fans, they knew straight away. That was a relief. When I showed them to someone else, they thought they were Tic Tac men!
I made little labels to go on them too as a way of gift wrapping and so they would know which one was who's. One of the girls is totally crazy on pink so of course the pink label just had to go to her!!
I hope that they enjoy them!

Sign language

In the last couple of weeks, I've started going to a sign language course.
The course runs for ten weeks and covers the basics you need for progressing onto level 1 BSL. I'd love to go on to do the levels if I could as I'm really keen to learn the language as much as I can.
I've been fascinated with sign language ever since I was little. I can remember learning the alphabet but never had the opportunity to learn anything more until now.
I'm doing the course with my friends and my twin sister which is great because it means we can practise together. It was actually my friend who pointed out the course a few months ago.
The course so far is good fun and the people there are lovely. It's a small group; just 12 of us all wanting to learn for various reasons.
We've covered a lot already actually. So far we've covered the alphabet, (this was actually really good for me as I was able to learn the proper way for signing it left handed as I do. I'm the only left handed signer there! Always was unique!!) we've learnt questions i.e who, what, where and so on, days of the week, months, holidays and numbers.
It's all very cool!

Brand new title

Hey guys! You may have noticed that I have a new title for my blog. Hoping you like this. I've actually been wanting to change the title for a while now. I just felt that the old one was a bit obscure and didn't really help to depict what my blog was about. This one I think does a better job. It is me surrounded by the things I love to do with my trusty companion Jenna right by me. In actual fact, she is sleeping in that exact position right now by my feet! As always, it would be nice to hear what you think.
