Well… I can now share Megumi’s secret project! She finished it about an hour or so before her husband Yusuke arrived in Tasmania!!
I taught Megumi to crochet early on in her visit and we decided to go choose some specific yarn and colours so she could make Yusuke a rug as a surprise.
She’s done a fantastic job… on closer inspection it doesn’t look like the work of a beginner!
It was a lot of fun when she brought it out for Yusuke – he couldn’t believe she had made it!
He was so impressed and amazed!!
I hope Megumi keeps up the crochet – its a nice hobby and she is good at it. I have told her that YouTube is her friend for learning more patterns!! 🙂
Yesterday we cooked a pot of extra tomatoes – just some to freeze for later on. I don’t have time to make relish or sauce right now, so this seemed like a good thing to do.
I also finished off dehydrating a veggie mix for us to take up on our hike.
I think this jar is about 5 days worth of meals for both Jeff and myself!!
Dinner tonight was enjoyable – its nice to have so much home grown and made on the table when guests arrive! Yusuke was happy to be eating summer food again, since Japan is still pretty cold, so winter comfort food is the main thing right now!
Anyway, better get off to bed. Bit of a quiet day tomorrow – off to see a beach or three 😀
Cheers!
Dear Lisa you are so sweet to share your knowledge with others. The afgan(rug) Megumi made is so pretty!!! The food I know was grand. Know your visitors will have wonderful memories of times with u and Jeff. ENJOY!!love from Ga.
Hi Linda! Sorry its taken a while to get back to you! Thank-you for your kind words! I know Megumi was proud of her efforts (rightly so) and it was so much fun watching her give it to her husband! xxx
What a lovely gift, well done especially for a first project and just learning. Lisa you are a good teacher!
Hi Janet! She did a great job! Very satisfying for me to see her enjoy it and do so well!! 🙂
Wow! Great rug! I knit but I have struggled to get the hang of crocheting, must keep persevering.
Hi Hazel!! Thanks! She did so well! I learned to knit first, but actually found crochet a little easier and less cumbersome than knitting! I still love doing both but I think I prefer the crochet now!
