STAR BLANKET OR IS IT A CURTAIN?..

Hi...still working hard on the book, everything needs to be finished by the end of July and I am crocheting about 15hours a day most days right now....writing a craft book is really really hard work
craft room is a terrible mess and every time l leave my chair a cat or 3 jump in my place...love 'em
Think there might be a few hairy pictures in the book...lol

I hung the star blanket up for colour inspiration and like it so much as soon as I have free time I will make it into a full length curtain for the craft room
Buckets and bags of wool all over the place..what a mess it looks right now

Hugs to all and hope to be back to normal by the end of July
thanks for all the support and I will reply to all the mail asap
hugs  xx

  14. So nice to see you pop up. I think of you often. I am also not as diligent and living totally in blogland. But, I sure do love your stars and miss a few of you all so dearly. Can't wait to see you around in July. We want to hear all about the book.

  15. Browsing my blog dashboard this morning, I came across this beautiful star blanket becoming a curtain! It looks gorgeous. I can only imagine how much work it is creating a craft book... and all those amazingly long hours of crocheting. I'm sure the results will be lovely and then you can sit back with satisfaction and give those fingers a well-earned rest!
