A quick hello again...

Still no time to blog properly, just a quick hello and thanks for all the support.

Second posting of Book 2 Design went off yesterday so half way with the projects and i'm on target so far.

 

The Stylecraft designs i did last year are selling well Iam told....all in

STYLECRAFT CLASSIQUE  COTTON

 

 

 My two favourites are these two patterns below, the teacosy and the pots and mats

 

 

I am also in the HOMESPUN MAGAZINE 

 a blanket I made for them earlier this year

 

The Homespun rug below

 

I've been using Rooster yarns for a couple of book projects...Almerino super soft and great to crochet with, along with Stylecraft Alpaca, Senses a mohair yarn, and more of the Classique Cotton too...all lovely yarns to crochet with.

 

Rooster yarns were only in Cheshire, not too far away so I popped in on route to Blackpool Breeze last weekend, and now I have already run out of the 4 balls of Cornish....so a whole pack is winging its way to my door.

 

Have fun, hugs to all xx

 

Necklace from left over sock yarn...

Hi all, a lovely friend who is a fabulous sock maker made me a pair of black and white socks, thanks Sue love them.

 She sent me the left over yarn and as my black and white scarf, I wear with my black trousers and white top was in the wash and I needed something black and white to wear at my neckline.

 So while having a morning cuppa  yesterday, I made a new black and white necklace from the left overs, might add a few tiny seed beads to it at some point.

see what it looks like with beads, but for now i'm wearing it as it is...works for me.

It looks totally different from the knitted socks.

 

Great exhibition Jo....felting exhibition, Mum and Daughter, in the Museum at Montgomery if anyone passing and is interested in needle felting and embroidery.

 

Hugs to all x

 

Painting the bedroom Blue...

Bit of redecoration going on in the bedroom...seaside, costal, pale blue, aqua and the

palest sea green.

Used a new costal picture as inspiration.

 New wall quote, to remind me how precious TIME is...

 Dug out all the blue bedlinen I have, all went together quite well, then I feel asleep with a cuppa in my hand...oooops!

Me and everything else was soaked in a delicate shade of brown.

 

All in the wash, and it's a good job the sun is shining to get it all dry and back on the bed

 and of course there needed to be a touch of cotton crochet too...

A 22 white flower garland in the making to hang on the curtain rail,

 

Hugs to all xx

 

I'm willing but the eyes aren't.....

Please remind me not to leave 21 pattern to write up and translate until the end will you?

Just the last 2 to do now but my head an eyes are struggling for today.

Another half made project to share...it was a long scarf.

But when i tried it on this morning it sort of looked like a waistcoat.jacket front so i might continue on at a later date.

What do you think?

 

 

Don't you think it would make a great little waistcoat under a cardy or top coat, or even with sleeves as a jacket?

 

Made in rows of cross stitch, changing colour for every row and turning every row so the crosses line up easily.

 

Hope you are all enjoying the sun shine?

 

 I'm off to have a cuppa, sit in the sun and rest my eyes for an hour I think.

Hugs x
