Hello.... :) its all been about crochet this week....
I have had 3 WIP (work in progress) on the go this week....2 are almost finished.....
My Autumn Wreath has been put together....it started off with all these little pieces.....
....I just need to make the little felted Harvest Mouse now and it will be finished and ready to hang on Wednesday....the start of Autumn....
But I have now....and the Summer one will be joining it this week....
My patchwork blanket has come to a standstill till later in the week.....
the position of colours in rows has been decided and they are neatly piled and labelled ready to go...but I ran out of white wool to join them and for the edging....so its been a great excuse to order the white wool and lots more lovely colours from Wool Warehouse....and with their great service I'm sure it will be here beginning of the week....
I have also been making an IPad cover for a family member...I decided on a corner to corner pattern and will be adding handles....I think I will finish this today so will post a picture of the completed cover next week...
and my third project is a new granny square blanket....I have chosen some contemporary colours this time to give a more modern feel to a traditional blanket...I quite like it...but I have to say the vintage colours are my favourite still...
I only started this yesterday so haven't got very far...yarn is Stylecraft Special DK and the colours are: Saffron, Turquoise, Parma Violet, Denim, Spice and Aspen...I'm doing 7 rounds and will be joining with grey....as usual I have no idea what border I will do until the very end.... :)
Our holiday seems a million miles away now...but we have booked next years already....we will be off the Devon next year.... :)
Being back home has given me a spurt of energy and this coming week I intend to sort out and throw out....(not easy for me to throw out!) going room to room and getting everything clean and tidy....as well as lots of crocheting of course :)
I think I have had the last of the sweet peas for this year....I have decided to let the rest go the seed so I can collect them and grow them from their seeds next year :)
I have put them on the mantle this week instead of the window sill and set them off with my little French grey roses I made quite a few years ago now....
I had a treat this week....lunch out with my lovely friend....and a leisurely stroll around the garden centre...it was heavenly....that same friend gave me a fab book for my birthday...its really interesting and I have picked up loads of tips from it...well worth purchasing :)
and I have pre-ordered the new book Modern Vintage Gifts by Helen Phillips this week...I cant wait for it to arrive (not out until Oct ) I love Helen's blog... so I think her book will be brilliant :)
I have strangely been drawn to sewing of the past month or so and as I've said before...sewing is not my thing...but I think its time to give it a try...I saw this on Pinterest this week and thought it was beautiful....and maybe I could have a go at this patchwork picture....
Well we'll see.... I do have the embroidery hoops......
As I read a lot of blogs and pages from USA they are all getting into "Fall" decoration....I love how they decorate for all the seasons....it really makes me want to do it too....and as Halloween will be upon us in no time....I saw these and thought they were really fun...painted pumpkins instead of carved ones....
aren't they just adorable? And who doesn't love a Minion.... :)
Well I've taken up loads of your time....so I will leave you with the vintage photo this week...
Its in celebration of the 100 years of the WI....and well done all of you.....(round of applause for the WI) :)
This weeks little quote....
