Flowers of the Fluffy Kind

Not much stirs deep dislike in me, besides certain people and a close proximity to smokers, but one thing that does is ICE SKATING. Ahhh! Just watching people even roller-skate makes be shiver and mutter unintelligibly. In March 2010 I broke my leg ice skating, which led to no school, yay!, and lengthy periods of BOREDOM, boo. One thing that kept me sane was latch hooking, and after two years (yes, really!) I completed this:

To give you a sense of scale, it's about 60cmx100cm, and it took me so long!! I've also made a smaller sunflower pillow. It does hurt your hands a lot if you spend too much time doing it, but that goes without saying, latch hooking is incredibly easy and along with candle making, sowing and cake baking (duh) it is a trusty thing to fall back on! I would love to hear what you think, or if you have tried/would like to try any of the activities I've mentioned, as I can give really easy instructions for candle making as well as cake baking :)
