Crushed Blackberry?

Still working hard on the book projects, but getting there and can see the light at the end of the tunnel, more than half the projects are with the publisher for approval now.

But I just had to share this gem with you....

If you love purple I am sure you will love this, we have been looking for a new sofa for a while and yesterday I found the perfect one winging it's way to our front door just in time for my Birthday I hope.

What do you think?

PURPLE CROCHET??????

Taken a couple of hours off to ponder on what purple crochet cushions and throws I can make to go with it?

Isn't it just yummy?...like crushed blackberry

 Ordered on looks alone so hoping when it arrives we like the comfort..... 

If  OK we will be getting a second to go in the living room and the old and battered, but still very very comfy sofas will return to my craft room

THANKS

Just quick this morning, sorry I haven't time to answer all your lovely mail individually, book contract and time scales very tight from now until the end of July

Found this old cute photo of Splodge looking into the bath...such a curious cat he is.

Some Freebies to come in August

Lots of extra try out crochet project for the book have fallen by the way side for all sorts of reasons. 

Some will be available from August, so watch this space for some freebies patterns to come.

I will be think of all you lovelies while I am hard at work, having to write them twice.

(patterns in UK terms is a night mare, give me US any day)

But...getting there slowly. 

Do hope you all love the book when it is finished...hope I love it!

 Not worked this hard in a long time hope it is all worth it.

Hoping to catch a glimpse of the Olympic torch today

Love and Hugs to all 

catch ya all soon

ISLE OF MAN...SWEET GINGER

WOW!Great crossing, fabulous weather, wonderful place, great people...

We had a great weekend at Circle Yer Wagens on the Isle of Man

setting up camp....boys and their toys, Phil bought a camper tent for cooking, storage and a dressing room

Cute hey?

Only down side to the trip was a horrible gale that blew on the Friday afternoon/evening/night and we had to take down the camper tent at midnight and put it back up again Saturday morning
No rain just beautiful hot sunny weather but a gale as well...very strange lol.

We were lucky though no damage some people lost their tents and canopies..nasty wind.

BUT......the Isle of Man was wonderful
Look at the blue skies...all weekend too.

Some beautiful beaches...

and quaint towns..

view from the camper as we woke on the Friday morning at 7.....hazy but oh! so hot

and some lovely new Bamboo yarns from a shop in Ramsey called 

Sweet Ginger

Hugs to all xx
