Baaaahahahaha, this one makes me giggle every time I think about it! Near my house there is a street called Dairyfarm Terrace and one day I had this bright spark of an idea for a yarn bomb on the street pole and it cracked me up right from the start! "Dairyfarm" heh heh heh can you guess what I did!? 
I giggled my way through making it and I giggled my way through stitching it to the pole. I hope you all share my sense of humour and find this Udderly Hilarious too!!!

There's a house for sale and a house for rent down that street LOL do you think it will put prospective residence off!?  


I snuck out on the first night after daylight savings ended when it was dark by 6:30, to sew this to the pole. At first whenever a car came past I was pretending I wasn't doin' nuffin' and walked up the path a little but then I couldn't be bothered hiding anymore. A man was walking his dog and walked past on the other side of the street. It was dark but I glanced up and saw him rubber necking at me and I tried hard not to burst into laughter! Then he walked into the next house but I could hear movement out the front like he was watching from a distance. Ha! must have been wondering what on earth I was doing! 
When I finished sewing it up, I literally laughed out loud as I walked across the road and back home. I couldn't help it! :P 




It's sewed up good and propper to that pole! I made it so that it would fit really snugly and stay up the pole. I also sewed some of the spots to overlap the join so that when I stiched it on, they covered the join, making it even more difficult to get undone if anyone tried. 
I toyed with the idea of hanging strands of white yarn from the teats to look like milk squirting out but decided that might be a little too much! Tee hee hee!
I didn't have a pattern for any of this, I just winged it. I made a love heart too as one of the spots, did you 'spot' it? :D 


Let me know if this gave you a good giggle too! 















Bombing a Retirement Village


My retired Mum and Dad do volunteer work at the retirement hostel where my Dad's nearly 90 year old Mother (My Grandmother) lives. My Dad is particularly good at gardening and the hostel had asked him to make a sensory garden for the dementia wing. He has been working very hard to complete it almost single-handedly and it includes plants of different colours, textures and fragrances. It also includes a gazebo which has some bright coloured art and sensory items inside it. My parents asked me to make some 'yarn bombs' to contribute, some bright and colourful pieces, possibly a mobile and gave me a deadline as there was to be an opening ceremony for the new garden. 
I didn't get to go there and bomb it myself but I tagged my piece none the less and gave it to my parents to put up. 


I'll firstly give credit to the blog where I got the idea for this particular piece:
http://willewopsie.blogspot.com.au/ There is no pattern but a picture. I googled to find similar patterns for the individual pieces. 


Now to show you what on earth I am talking about, here it is hanging in my kitchen shortly after it was finished: 


Here are the flowers and leaves as I was making them:

These were a lot of fun to make, I enjoyed making them. So pretty! 


And here they are bombed in the sensory garden gazebo :) 

Recognise these? Yes these STARS  are from my Youth Centre yarn bomb! Unfortunately when I went back a few days later, the stars were ripped off it and lying on the ground! So disappointing! I think I'd rather someone ripped them off and took them home rather than just needlessly destroying them! ...Anyway I collected them up again and put them on a chain and thought they would be better appreciated here at the hostel! :D

enjoy :D
