Tammy the Improvised Merperson

She's 25 centimetres tall, a Pisces (naturally) and generally a nice piece of "tail".

I've been wanting to make a mermaid for ages (strange the goals one has really) - I've seen a couple of patterns around the place and had another kindly sent to me... I took their ideas on board and came up with my own.

I'm putting the pattern on http://groups.msn.com/OzCrochet very shortly (under "Members Patterns" - so if you go there and it isn't - just give me a poke.) Warning: I wrote it down as I went and it could have glitches! So if you find any - let me know.

So what's to become of Tammy? She's off to the Tamworth Women's Refuge (now you know where I got her name) to hopefully bring a little bit of light to a little girl's/boy's day.

The Flag's in the Bag

After many many months of "toil" and being "girt" by red, white and blue bits of yarn - the flag is complete! 95cm x 157 cm.

Now, all I need to do is decide where it's going! The local RSL Nursing Home is where I'm thinking it might find a good home.

All together now - "at every stage, let history's page..... "
