Hi everyone, came back early from our holiday...rain and high winds l'm afraid but the weekend was great and l finished my new crochet bath mat on the 4th September
Everyone loved it and l even had one lady want to learn how so l gave her a lesson on the Sunday afternoon before she went home...a convert l think, she went home with her first granny square
Sorry l've not been on line even though we got back Monday night
I'm afraid right now we are in such a mess, if you missed it we had a blown pipe in the bathroom while out for the day and came home to water pouring from every where
Insurance assessors have been in and it took a while but this week the driers went in and we now have no floors at all in the hall kitchen dining room and lounge just nasty dusty wet concrete floors
half the kitchen units have been removed and most of the skirting boards stuff is piled in drier places and the place is a total chaos l'm afraid and l haven't really felt like blogging at all for a few days
the de-humidifiers and fans are running for 8 hours a day and are so noisy its very wearing plus we are trying to get all the decorating done in the hall stairs and landing for the new carpets
It's going to be weeks before it's all sorted we're told....uuugh!!
But to finish with a little cheer
A new hexagon pattern....not sure what it will be yet
l found and used a few red circle left over from an unfinished past project and added the bobble stitch and a final round so l could 'join as l go'
Pictures and pattern should be ready for tomorrow
Couple of pictures from last weekend....my birthday present came in very useful at early morning breakfast
very warm and snuggley it was
There was about 15 families that turned up for the weekend and we all had a fabulous time at a wonderful site
Lake side
lots of Swans and ducks
and boats...
the camera played up yet again so more fiddling..definitely on my Christmas list!
but we had a great weekend even though the Autumn made an appearance
l'm always happy with a bucket of yarn and a hook...l'll set up camp any where hehehe
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
Hugs to all xx
