Cheeky Monkey
You probably don't want reminding but Christmas is on it's way. I thought that this year instead of buying my family presents, I would knit them all something. That's the plan anyway. I would be able to get on a lot faster if Jenna here didn't think she was a cat and start playing with the balls of wool. The scene in this video here is what met us when we came home one night. This hasn't been a one off event either. She seems to have an obsession with wool and I've caught her many a times. Every time she pulls a ball apart even if she's only had it for a minute, it takes (and I don't joke here) over an hour to unravel it all! This time took even longer as it was multiple balls all tangled together. I've become somewhat of an expert now and actually secretly enjoy the challenge of unraveling! It's like a puzzle. What was lucky about this time was that the knitting on the needles remained intact. Man I would have been cross if she had pulled that apart and I definitely wouldn't have seen the funny side like I have here let me tell you! I decided on this occasion to put it on video because the trail of destruction was vast. Also, you don't really know a huge amount about Jenna and this video really portrays her cheeky personality. Watch her ears twitch back and her eyes blinking innocently when I talk to her! Tut tut!

So Amazing by Bekah Funning
I got my song recorded today! And yippee you can listen to it!
I found out a way you can put on audio tracks through my blog so here it is. It was quite simple really. All I had to do was make it into a movie/slideshow thing. I also designed a 'single cover' to go on it so you have something cool to look at whilst you're listening. It's of me recording the song complete with the same outfit I had on and everything.
I would just like to say a huge thank you to the worship leader of my church who put this whole backing track together for me to sing on. Great work!!

My song for church
This is a song that I wrote in mind for my church. I played in the services on Sunday which was pretty amazing! I'm not sure how many people were there exactly but it was in the hundreds. The performance went really well despite feeling naturally quite nervous. I have actually got a recording of it but because it's only an audio so I haven't been able to put it on the blog which is a shame.
I did however record this video in my room a few days before Sunday so at least you can have a listen to this. I haven't put this on until now because I didn't want anyone who goes to the church to hear the song before Sunday and I was then waiting for the audio recording which I thought would work.
I got a lot of really great response from people after Sunday. So much infact that I was the last one to leave the church! The plan now is to get it properly recorded which should be fun!

Bethan Funning: Young songwriters competition finalist!
Here's the link to the website where you can view the songs: http://www.young-songwriters.co.uk/
Her song is number 17 on the list entitled Spaceships and Moonbeams. I'm sure you'll agree when you've listened to the song that she's very talented! As I said, the money from the votes you cast goes to Banardos so it's all good. Think of it as your good deed for the day! You need to be fairly quick if you want to vote though as voting closes on the 6th November which funnily enough is Jenna's 1st birthday!
Good luck Bethan!!!
