Another lovely week of sunshine lot's of washing drying on the line, gardening, sitting, playing, and eating outdoors. I am always amazed how much fun little ones can have with water. Armed with buckets, plastic jugs and a garden hose (only adults could use the hose - didn't quite work out that way though) much fun was had, Zachy, Daisy and Noah were giddy with laughter, all soaked, grubby, pink faced and happy running around the garden watering the plants, usually the same one, each other and occasionally me!
Once the garden was tidied, children had gone home for tea, bath and bed I decided to have a quiet hour. I stayed outdoors soaking up the early evening sunshine and started to make freebie number 2, armed with yarn, hook, brooch back and magazine with instructions I set off to make a crochet flower brooch. The instructions seemed to work out fine for this one and it was quick and simple to make. Although I did make a mistake I used trebles instead of triple trebles, the brooch is smaller but I am happy with the results.
Two kits completed but still lots more to go.......................
Hi there! Love the flower brooch! I am currently on a flower making binge!!! I too love to peg out my clothes. I do the wash first thing in the morning, and hang it out to dry in the warm breeze. In my case, HOT breeze!!! It is dry in no time and it almost feels as if it has been ironed as well.
ReplyDeleteI am itching to snuggle up with some nice warm crochet in cooler weather. Oh will we ever get some???

I am loving the sun and it's so rare I'm quite happy for it to stay a little longer. Why don't you have a go with cotton yarn it's cooler to crochet with.

Wow that flower brooch is a great colour, I need to start making some more flowers soon as I decided to make another wreath, this ones for winter time, seeing as the Spring in took me over three months I really need to get start.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
