This week feels weird. No idea why it just does.

Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
Fremder, étranger, stranger
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté…

I have had that song in my head since Sunday.

Why?

On Sunday night I was watching the muppet show on Disney +. I was shocked that it had the original series on there and thought I like the muppets so I’ll give it a watch. It was strange seeing the original episodes. One of them had Joel Grey as the Guest and one of the sketches they did was him singing that song with the Muppets.

Since then that song has been in my head and I’ve not been able to get it out. I’ve been asking people on Facebook and someone suggested watching Baby Shark but then decided that would be worse and I had to agree.

I’ve watched different versions of it on YouTube. One from the film with Joel Grey, one with Alan Cummings and I even saw one with Michael C Hall (the guy from Dexter). The weird thing is I haven’t actually seen the film the song is from. I checked sky, Netflix and prime but it’s not on any of them. Anyway jut to try and share the torment here’s a video of the song:

A quick google search and you’ll find the words to sing along.

The Crafting community on Facebook is amazing.there’s been so much support, love and friendship. You ask a question and someone is there with the answer. If you need help with something, just ask. The things I’ve posted n different groups has been given load of positive comments. Almost too many to read sometimes.

Tangling. When I’ve shared pictures of my tiles the feedback has been great. Here are the tiles I’ve done:

I told you a few weeks ago that there was another tile swap. I did my tile and sent it off. Unfortunately Royal Mail decided there were problems with the address the people sent tiles to and they decided to return them to where they came from.

Because of the issues. Sandra put pictures of the tiles she received on Facebook so people could see if their tile made it through to her. I’m glad to say that the tile I did wasn’t there which meant she hadn’t received it. Since sending it kept thinking how rubbish it was but this gave me an opportunity to redeem myself. I managed to bodge it, do another tile, take a picture and send it to Sandra by email. Not quite a real tile but it meant I could still be involved.

The original tile I sent came back yesterday and this morning the swapped tile arrived which is amazing. So here are some picture of the swapped tiles, the returned one and the redeemer:

You can’t see it on the picture but it has a glittery shimmer. That tile is amazing and I love it. It is a million times better than mine.

The other thing is my work was shown on TV again:

Like I said I was glad the original came back because it’s rubbish and the best place for it is the bin. Tile Take 2 isn’t that bad but it does nowhere near compete with the one I received. But still the love, friendship and support that has come from the tangle crew has been brilliant.

On to knitting. In the last post I said I was doing a hat. I finished it the other day. It just needs to go through the wash so some of the stitches will even out. Here is the finished hat:

While looking for something else to do I found a half finished crochet project I started last year. It’s Jane the Pangolin from Edwards Menagerie. I’d done the Body, head, 2 back legs and 2 ears. This is what it should look like when it’s done:

So yeah I’m working on that.

I’ve made a few cards as well. Here are the ones I made for mum and dads anniversary.

It’s their 48th wedding anniversary. That’s one hell of an achievement and something they should be really proud of. Well done to them.

Here are some of the other cards I’ve made:

I’ve done another card for mum on Mother’s Day but I’m not sharing it yet.

The other thing is I finished the crystal art project I started the other week.

I sealed it today and now I just need to find somewhere to put it. It looks great.

So there’s been a few things finished this week. I need to decide if I want to do some more card making, get another crystal art project to work on or start another knitting project. Either way I need to find something else to keep me occupied.

Anyway there may well be light at the end of the tunnel but we need to stay safe and follow the rules.

Love and light
