Hello dear friends :-)

Get ready for lots of photos of the wild flower bank...

And from a distance it looks such a small area. Hopefully next year we will have managed to extend it :-)

It is mesmerising to stand there and gaze at it.

Yarn stash...

Hello Lovelies

A lady from our village, who I am only just starting to get to know, arrived around lunchtime today with two large carrier bags full off yarn from her stash!

I have to show you....

Tumbled on to the floor...

I love the yellow in the middle...

I have quite a stash of my own but I am always pleased to add to it!

There are yarns in this new pile that I wouldn't necessarily buy myself and it's got my brain whirring with ideas.... you can probably hear it!

I have no time for drawing at the moment...I don't even want to draw.... I just want to revel in these glorious colours and to thank Deci very, very much for her generosity.

...and my Constant Companion....

...yes, just as we expected. Bless his heart!

Ooh...new crochet project

Hello lovely people,

I hope you had a great weekend.

 

A couple of weeks ago my gem of a husband bought me some more yarny stash from my local yarn shop ...I had decided I wanted to make a blanket and thought I wanted lots of colours.

Well, these yarny balls of goodness played on my mind a lot.  The more I thought about them the more confused I became on how to use them.  I had tentatively made some granny squares but wasn't convinced that was what I wanted.

So, some new and some from my stash... here are some of the colours I had teasing me...

 

 

 

Yesterday I decided upon Lucy's ripple pattern and started a brand new hooky project.

I've only hooked about five rows but I couldn't wait to show you

so here it is....

 

 

Surprise! I'm only using three colours.

 

I've had to pull it apart a couple of times and it's still not perfect but I am fine with it now and happy just to hook away at it.

It is a lovely pattern to work once you get use to it... rhythmic and therapeutic. Lovely :)

Thank you so much Lucy... I owe you a coffee!

 

I'll show you a progress report when there is something more substantial to see.

Nag me if I don't!

 

I've been fiddling around with my blog header.  What do you think?

I'm not too sure at the moment so I'll live with it a few days before I make a decision.

 

Several people have had problems with not being able to leave messages.  I have checked everything and cannot find anything wrong.  Have you had a similar problem with your blog? 

 

Ooh...it time to go as Bertie (wee Cairn like dog) wants some attention.
