Niftyknits in "Popular Crafts" magazine gift guide

I've just come home to find an email from Popular Crafts Magazine to say they've featured my little footie player! Thank you Kerry :-)


Meerkat footballer available from folksy or zibbet

the beautiful game?

as my family will attest, I'm not known for my love of the so-called beautiful game (that's football in the UK, soccer to our friends over the pond)

But...

What's not to love?



Your very own footy-playing meerkat!

This chap plays for Arsenal, but (as always!) I'm open to challenges!

nosy neighbour - that's me!

Did I mention how much the football banging on MY fence irritates me? Well, deciding it was my problem, not the next door kid's, today I bought him a goal - only a cheap one, from Woolies - and I've just been round to give it to his dad and explain.

Sooooooooooo embarrassing, I'm shaking! But if it works, and he stops the incessant pounding on the fence, it will be the best £7 I've ever spent.

update - well, the quiet didn't last long LOL after all he's only 5 but...the goal is now in pride of place next to his OTHER neighbour's fence - so my cunning plan DID work!
