Thank you Annaboo! I'm addicted!

I lost it again you know... you may have noticed a rather long gap in bloggy posts... 
I just lost my bloggy / crochet mojo... 

I spent hours on Pinterest looking for it... but it was nowhere to be found.  Then one day I happened upon Sarah's CAL over at Annaboo's House... and that was it...


I'M OFF AGAIN! MEET MOJO! 
Mojo's first smile

It was one of those times when you start a little something just before you go to bed, feeling a bit lack-lustre, but you think you had better give it a go... 
and within 30 minutes that was me addicted! 

I was only meant to blow the bloody doors off crochet the head...
but by 2am I had a head with a body and 2 legs attached.....


Mojo learns to sit up alone

I think this counts as Amigurumi doesn't it?  I have been wanting to tick that off of my list for a while...and now that I have started... oh my goodness I love to see little legs forming under my hook...

So a big THANKYOU to the lovely Sarah of Annaboo's House... 
Sarah has long been a favourite blogger of mine... so it is apt that she 
helped my find my mojo...
Mojo enjoys her first sunshine
It isn't too late to join Annaboo's CAL... you can go straight to the first link here.  If you would like to see what other joiner-inners are doing, pop over to the group on Flickr here...

Now, what can I do before next weekend when Sarah will give us the pattern for arms and things? Hmmm.....

My 24 year old son came into the room and saw Mojo... he loves her, but for another reason than the wonderful accomplishment I had achieved... 
he says Mojo looks like STITCHPUNK   

Cover your ears Mojo! I had never heard of Stitchpunk...and if you haven't either... have a look here... but be prepared to be scared...and please don't come back and tell Mojo what you saw! 

PS: On a sorry...sorry...sorry note... it appears that I left our the name and bloggyland address of one of the contributors to the Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2012! What a wally I am! So sorry Charlotte.... so please everyone pop over to Charlottes Web Page to see what lovely things are going on there.. and tell her Stocki sent you xxx

    Oh Jill, I've been trying soooo hard to resist joining in this CAL on Sarah's blog and now I can feel all my willpower ebbing away and I already have three proper WIPs and countless others stuffed away in bags...
    You are a very bad influence. X

    I'm sorry for the appalling joke to follow.....

    Mojo looks like a nice kinda fella....armless enough.......

    Sooo, glad you're back, I've missed you, glad you're back on the hard stuff ....I've just been doing my best Michael Caine impressions, you'd think he was in the room to be honest!

    Loving Mojo, still haven't started my doll/monkey/cat. But will soon enough I expect!

    Take care.x

      Ha ha.. I nearly cracked that joke myself Faith... I do feel sorry for the poor little thing...laying here all naked and armless! I'm going to whip up a pair of pantaloons I think! Hurry up and do yours...I can't wait to see it!
