Hand-Knitted Flower Fridge Magnets

Anyone who knows me will know that I have a bit of an obsession with fridge magnets.  Whenever we go on a holiday, the first thing I buy is another fridge magnet.  As you can imagine, our fridge (and freezer) are absolutely covered in them.

Needless to say, as I was thinking of things I could knit, fridge magnets came up on my list of ideas.  I have just started creating a range of hand-knitted flower fridge magnets and I have a couple of sets available on my website.  I'll put a couple of photos below so you can check them out if you want to.

They come in a pack of two and you can see more of them in my shop at FunkyFun.  I'll be adding more of them to my shop as soon as I finish them.


Each set contains a matching pair.

What woman doesn't like getting flowers?

Perfect stocking filler for Christmas!


Sample of what I have done so far.

Thanks for looking.  I'd love to hear what you think about my magnets so please feel free to comment.

More FunkyFun!

Here are some photos of the new items I have recently posted in my FunkyFun shop on the MadeIt website.

Soft Flower Beanie

I would love to hear from you if you have been to my shop so please don't be shy if you have any comments to make.

Delicious Breakfasts for Gluten-Free Kids

My 'Delicious Breakfasts for Gluten-Free Kids' recipe e-book has just this morning been approved by Apple and is available to download onto your computer at Bake Space, or you can download it directly onto your iPad from The Cookbook CafĂ© in the App Store.

This recipe book is a collection of our family's favourite gluten-free breakfasts.  Quite of few of the recipes also have lactose-free options included too.

If I had to choose a favourite recipe I think it would have to be the Cinnamon Banana Toasties, they are just sooooo hard to resist.  But then I love the Corn Fritters and Apple Pikelets too so it is really hard to just pick one.

Anyway, you are welcome to check it out for yourself if you would like to.  I'd love to hear from you with any comments you have.

 


This is the front cover of the 'Delicious Breakfasts for Gluten-Free Kids' e-book.

My next e-book "Delicious Breakfasts for Gluten-Free Kids" is finally on it's way!

The recipes, cooking and photos are finally finished and "Delicious Breakfasts for Gluten-Free Kids" has just been submitted to Apple for approval.  Once approved it will be available in the App Store and via the BakeSpace website.  I will add some links here on the blog as soon as it is available.

Here is the cover of the book, but that is all I can give you for now!

Here is the very cheery yellow front cover!

FunkyFun Shop on MadeIt

My new shop called FunkyFun has just opened up on the MadeIt website and I have my first item up for sale.  It is multi-coloured jumper which I have hand-knitted.  You can go directly to my shop by clicking on FunkyFun if you want to check it out.  I've got some cool beanies coming soon too and a very colourful scarf.



I love knitting beanies in different patterns and designs so if you are a fan of beanies like me, please feel free to keep an eye on my store for the new ones coming up.  At some stage in the future I'm also planning to knit some baby jumpers (and maybe some matching pants) so you might find those on there eventually too.

Thanks for visiting, it was great having you stop by.  You're welcome to come by any time you're free!

The Digestive System Poem

My youngest son recently had a project to do at school on the Digestive System and one of the things he was required to do was include a poem.  Below is a poem I wrote for him to use so that he didn't have the same one as anyone else.  Feel free to use it if you have a similar project (or if you just like random poetry!).  It is simply titled "The Digestive System Poem".

When looking at the digestive system,
You'll find saliva right there at the start,
Then chew and swallow all your food,
So the oesophagus can do its part.

Following on from that is the stomach,
With strong muscles and gastric juice,
After that comes the small intestine,
Have you ever wondered, "what's its use?"

Working with the gallbladder,
As well as the pancreas and liver,
It separates all the bits of food,
Until it runs just like a river.

Then comes the large intestine,
Where the colon is as well,
The colon takes the bits it needs,
And leaves the leftovers to expel.

They head over to the rectum,
Until it is time for them to go,
Then right out through the anus,
And that's all you need to know!
