Being technically challenged . . .

The visitors have returned to distant shores, the Hubby has returned to work, the pile of laundry has returned to manageable, the pups are fast asleep, and suddenly the house seems altogether just too quiet . . .  So I thought I'd take a moment to sit down with a cup of Earl Grey, post an update and catch up with my blog reading.

But first, I have to figure out how on earth this newly-installed, upgraded, super-fast, all-singing-and-dancing PC that the Hubby set up last weekend, works.   Aargh . . . 

I thought I was quite clued-up when it came to technology, but the reality is: it seems, I'm not.

Oh, and I can't for the life of me find all my lovely pics I popped into Picasa. They must be out there somewhere, just not currently within my grasp.

 So, until I master it properly - which I will, eventually -  please bear with the basic quality and not overly abundant selection of pics.

{Are you sensing my frustration ?}

Right, enough of that.  Moving on to happier things . . .

 My visitors had quite a productive holiday on the crafty side of things - and whilst I drove us around all over the place, the two of them created.  We taught Robs to knit and she mastered the art so quickly (definitely her mother's daughter) and decided to make a little blankie for Puddles, her new kitten. 

Lee-Anne whizzed through a lovely cowl, three pairs of fingerless mitts and a crocheted bunny who hopefully will be sewn together and stuffed in time for next Easter.  And she sewed us each a sweet little Easter chick . . .

 I, on the other hand was not quite so productive - but I am half way through the crocheted bunny that I started in Paris, and in the process of turning these granny squares:

 into this :

which is eventually going to be a cushion cover for the chair in our in-the-process-of-being-transformed downstairs guest room.

Ooh, and look what arrived in the post too . . .

I'd say that's more than enough to keep me busy and the post-visitors blues at bay for a wee while.

Linking up with Yarn Along Wednesday over at Small Things. 

Hope you're having a happy week,
