Crafting.................

Mr R bought me a little pressie on his way home from work - he certainly knows me well.................

It's full of fab projects including one from our favourite Crochet Queen  Lucy . 

I didn't get my magazine until quite late which in turn meant I didn't get to my bed until very late. But I had fun and have already started to make the little flower corsage.  Hope you all join in and make lots of lovely things and £5 goes to Comic Relief for every copy sold.

My lovely bright morning..........

Good morning it's lovely and bright today it feels almost Springlike. It's so nice to have a lovely bright kitchen it almost makes doing chores fun - well almost!

I'm having fun with my crochet and have lots of projects to share with you. I have always had a few things on the go but at the moment I'm hopping from one thing to another but for a change it doesn't seem to be worrying me. I don't have that nagging thought in the background of needing to finish what I'm currently making before I start something else. I am liking the fact that I have big projects, fiddly projects, and then some lovely simple ones, so I can pick something up depending on my mood or the amount of time I have available. Giving my self permission to project hop is very uplifting - you should try it or maybe you already have!

My projects are also very visible I seem to have a large selection of baskets housing them at the moment so I can see and admire them rather than hiding them away feeling guilty at my neglect.

I started this last night I wanted to experiment with some Spring Colours.

I was inspired to make my next blanket by this lovely Design Seed colour palette, Anita from My Craft Life and Heather from My Patchwork Heart

I love the Stylecraft colours and the blanket pattern is also from Stylecraft 

My favourite project is my beautiful baby blanket for Kate - we are expecting a new granddaughter in March - I can't wait. This is my fiddly project lots of colour change, lots of ends to weave in but it will be so worth it. The yarn is beautiful and I love the shades, it's the first time I have used Rico baby merino it is just adorable but definitely not a budget yarn.

I have been making little flowers and leaves to make one of Lucy's heart hangings.

I have also started my first Crochet Beginners Workshop for 2015 so had to get busy and crochet up some little hook pouches - the flowers also came in handy here.

I have to admit I do have more on the go but I will share them with you another day. Hope you all enjoy a lovely Saturday, talk soon

A hexie a day keeps you smiling ...........

I'm joining in with Rachell's baby hexie a day CAL and I love them. They are so easy to make and you can join them as you go - I think I may become addicted.
For more info and the pattern why don't you pop over to Rachell's blog http://thelittleroomofrachell.wordpress.com/

Talk soon - if I can put my hook down xxx

New Year - New Post.............................

Hi everyone a great big Happy New Year to you all lets hope we all have a happy and healthy 2015.

Where do I start it's ages since I've been around, life is busy and at times my energy levels are low which makes it hard to fit everything in, although I have been using Instagram a lot more as it's so quick and easy to share a photo. I seem to find it hard to settle down and write a blog post these days  - I think I have lost my touch.

Even though life is busy I am having fun which is great. My mini crochet business is still flourishing, I have met such a lot of lovely women and made some long lasting friendships. I run a Crochet Club on a Monday evening and I have just had to suspend new membership as I physically can't fit anymore wonderful crocheters in - at this rate I will need an extension or a bigger house.

I have fallen even more in love with crochet and with the motivation from my group I have started to become more creative, although my greatest love will always be a simple crochet blanket.

For a very quick recap of my year I have shared some of my happy moments from 2014 with you below;-

Happy times with my grandchildren

more of the little ones

crochet fun and workshops

lots of baking

Crochet club day out and Christmas crochet

lovely yarn

lots of lovely blankets

Sorry about the quality of my photographs I am really disappointed with my images I tried a different application and the finish is quite poor, I promise not to use it again and will also promise to keep in touch more.
