Little Tin Bird

Can you believe that January is very nearly over? It has (thankfully) gone really quickly. I don’t enjoy January very much! Anyway, I have completed a WHOLE MONTH of Project 365 with NO CHEATING. How good is that? I’m very impressed with myself. Above is a little collage of all my photos from this month [...]

This weekend is the weekend of the RSPB Birdwatch. You list all the birds that appear in your garden for one hour this weekend and then fill in the form on the RSPB website. We did ours from 12-1pm today with some bribery food of fruit cake, bread, apples and crackers. We have had quite [...]

Good afternoon everyone :-D As promised, today is the BIG REVEAL of my very first baby blanket. I finished the final stripe last night and I’m so pleased with it. I’ve worked pretty much constantly on this for the last 3 and a half days and it’s grown really quickly. I like to do things [...]

Don’t worry, this is not going to be a Patrick Moore blog post. On Tuesday evening I was sat in my lovely red chair hooking away on the ripply baby blanket with my back to the window, blissfully unaware of the BEAUTIFUL sunset behind me. Fortunately my lovely brother thought that I might like to [...]

Bright and cheery tulips

New much-wanted birdy mug given to me by my grandma. There is nothing I like more than bird silhouettes :-D

New hooking - a baby blanket for a friend. Gender neutral, and no pastels. It’s so much harder than you think when I just want to use BLUE for everything! I’m steaming through [...]

I’ve been quite an inside person these last couple of days, working steadily on my blanket. I’ve done 260 squares now, can you believe it? I’m running low on some yarn colours that I’m hoping to restock on Saturday, and also my wrists started to ache so I’ve put my hooks out of reach for [...]

This is my sister whilst at university. She is training to be a journalist. Which explains the hiding in bushes, sort of. I’m glad she is spending her time well whilst at uni!
By the way, my current square count is now 240. My fingers are on FIIIIIIIIIRE! and my eyes are all goggly. Whoops. Oh [...]

Can you say rubbish photo? Whoooa yes. I will try harder tomorrow, promise.
I told myself I would wait until I’d reached 200 squares before putting another picture of this blanket on here. I reached that on Saturday, so here it is.
So. This blanket. I am UTTERLY IN LOVE with this blanket. Its wonderful and I [...]

I have finally managed to photograph my cashsoft blanket for you! Not particularly good photos but I was dying to show you. The above one is using the flash, which shows the colour quite nicely, and the one below is without the flash, which shows the texture a bit more.

Aaaaaand this is the whole caboodle [...]

Hello again my friends! I trust you are all well? Good, I’m glad about that :-) I am ashamed at my lack of blogging this week after doing so well and posting almost every day last week. What’s come over me, you ask? Well I’m not at home at the moment, instead I am in [...]
