Japanese pastel wooly flowers update

A wee update of my flower blanket. I am working on a tutorial for this pattern. Should be ready soon.

Had a really busy day in the shop this weeek. Lots of people needing feed.

Been making my own soup recently and had some really good feedback on it.

Made a lovely one on Thursday, Sweet potato, butternut squash and smoked chilli, unfortunatly I don`t like spicy but sold the lot and had lots of nice comments. I will post the recipe soon..........

flower bed throw

Finished at last.......been working on this throw for ages. Only 297 flowers crocheted and then joined together what took me so long......... I made the flowers from a pattern in Jan Eatons 200 blocks. Works lovely as a throw at the bottom of my bed.

Have so many ideas on what I want to do next.

charity shop bargains

I was lucky enough to find these great books. Lots of great inspiration for just £5.
Oldies but goodies. My British Heart Foundation has loads of fab books, the great thing is they always sort them into different categories.

Back to crochet

Been itching to get back to crochet so decided to start with a quick and easy project. This is going to be a baby blanket, I bought the yarn from Lidl ages ago and been trying to find the perfect blanket, think this one will be cute. Going to finished it off with a lovely edging.

A wee sneaky peak at a few WIP. Don`t know what I am going to do with the hexagon one (inspired by attic 24) done in dmc cross-stitch threads. The other one is going to be a blanket for my bed. It is done with a pattern from Jan Eatons 200 squares.

Just need to finish my current cushion and can get back to crochet. Got loads of inspiration from my christmas presents, a few more crochet books to add to my growing collection.

Back to work today in the snow and ice and we are meant to be getting more of the white stuff...... looking forward to spring a wee bit to go yet though.....
