  1. oooooooooo those cushion covers are absolutely gorgeous...what yarn are you using?? i LOVE the colours, and I love that rug too. When, in the distant future, we get rid of our manky carpet and restore our old floorboards, I am SO having this rug. Love it.

    And your new pinky cushion cover is delightful too, very summery and girly.
    I'm loving your blog by the way :o)!!

  3. ooops missed yarn query...hadn't done any crochet for about 30yrs and local shop only had the acrylics so to practise l've used them
    Now l'm trying to use them up and replace with pure wools and quality yarns...loved the colours but hate the feel of the acrylics...cats don't seem to mind though hehe
    The Rowan yarns you use are gorgeous but l want them all..all 42 colours and a bit broke at mo..new summer house/studio arriving a week on Monday so pennies spent for a bit lol
    TARN will have to be the fill in yarn for now lol
