Week 12 Flower Pattern a adaptation this week..

 

Wk 12 flower pattern to come..

 

Been on a roller coaster of a ride this week and I'm behind with 

Week 12 Flower pattern.

 

So i'm just going to sharing a quicky with you, its a similar 6 petal flower but with and additional round of tiny loops on the petal edges as I did on the

Wk 9 flower and a domed padded centre.

The pattern isn't up yet but will be by tomorrow morning, just a picture or two tonight.

LOCAL BOOK SHOP STOCKING MY NEW BOOK...

Yesterday I was contacted by Rachel who owns an Independent Book shop in Bishops Castle...she loves the book, will be stocking it and runs a vintage craft market too.

Rachel ( Art and Artisans Books) asked if I would be interested in a workshop/book signing date?

Quite exciting isn't it?

 

I've not done a workshop/lecture etc. for a few year now, should be fun.

 

Their next Market is on the 6th April, so I will pop over to take a peek and meet Rachel and her gallery owning friend Jacs who run the craft fairs.

 I have been sent 6 more copies of my book 2 have gone already and one will be winging it's way to Sandra as soon as she sends me her address.

agonising over do I don't I take on an Etsy account....

 

 

Really don't know what to do, but family and really close friends keep telling I am mad to give away all the patterns that I do!.........I should be selling them.

 

But as I promised a pattern or two through 2013 and I won't go back on that.

 

But every now and then a pattern I think worth keeping back, appears and I start to think about selling a few.....but do I want the hassel?

James came yesterday and thought the wool storage (still in the lounge) looked like a work of art hehehe

 

Poor Love his car although not that old failed it's MOT....and he was broke. The Bank of Mum came to the rescue, with an early cash Birthday present.

AND

He loved the new rug and the re-arranged furniture in the Kitchen, a sunny spot when it come sout that is, to sit and play.

 

It has certainly brightened the snow filled days of late.

Where has Spring gone too?

It's snowed all day. never seen so many return visits of the snow in such a short space of time!

 

Had one of my furniture moving days,

 

and I indulged in some colour to cheer us up, lol....a new rug and a couple of CD racks to store my wool although I probably need several more to hold it all, for now just 2.

The new rug has made another cheerful spot to crochet in, between chopping this and cooking that,

at the one end of the kitchen, and a great distraction from all the white stuff.

 

Hope you aren't snowed in like some, really bad in places, at least here it isn't cold enough to be causing too many problems here.

 

Happy Hooking
