Last night, I finished my corner to corner granny blanket. It started so quickly, but when I had to frog some back because of losing terribly at yarn chicken I lost my enthusiasm a little. However, it was still only 3 weeks from start to finish with other projects in between. Once I had finished…… Continue reading If in doubt, choose shells
We are half way through the school holidays here, they are only for one week but I feel like they’ve lasted forever already! (Lots of fun and busy days, and plenty of sibling arguments, as well as a school shoe shopping trip.)

I’m so proud to have actually caught up at last, I’ve been so…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-11th July
Its sweltering here, but gloriously sunny. It does mean that it’s very warm even at night, so crocheting on a larger project like the Coastal Crochet CAL has to be done in small chunks. We’ve also spent a lot of time watering the allotment which has cut into my craft time too (hopefully it’ll be…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-27th June
