Good morning .........................


Good morning it’s so lovely to be back. It was hard to start my post today as I didn’t know where to begin. I seemed to have lost June completely and now July is racing away from me. I have been really busy with my family, my mum has just had her second hip replacement and another close relative is very poorly. But I have also had lots of fun things happening, my crochet groups are going really well, I have had a week away with Mr R. in Greece which was beautiful and have spent time with my lovely grandchildren.

I thought as a quick catch up I would share some photo collages of my recent activities – hope you like them...............


My grandchildren are growing up so quickly and I can't get over how grown up Zachy looks with his new short haircut.

Mandala workshop with some of my beginner crocheters who are all amazing - we have such good fun and get through quite a lot of cake..................

I'm getting through my style craft yarn so when a new delivery arrived I needed the help of my stock controller also known as cheeky Noah - I love those curls.................



I have been busy trying some new things and also some old favourites - always love granny squares but have fallen for my new teddy........................


I have wanted to make peg dolls for ages so had a lovely fun crafting afternoon making this little family - think I need to practice some more though ...................................


I'm loving all the colour in my garden and I can't believe how well the raspberries are doing this year and I have started to pick a few mini courgettes..................


I started another two beginners crochet workshops this week and I need to plan my September classes as Augusts are fully booked - I love my new business........................


Just a few random holiday shots, Greece was so lovely, nothing beats having lovely food and wine so close to the sea and in the sunshine of course..................

Today I’ve got to pack my case again as tomorrow I’m off to see Kate in London for a few days. Poor Kate had a little mishap and is now in plaster for the rest of the Summer - she has been so brave it's hard work at the best of times working full time and having a little one to look after but with only one hand it's been a real struggle.


talk soon x
