My lovely bright morning..........

Good morning it's lovely and bright today it feels almost Springlike. It's so nice to have a lovely bright kitchen it almost makes doing chores fun - well almost!



I'm having fun with my crochet and have lots of projects to share with you. I have always had a few things on the go but at the moment I'm hopping from one thing to another but for a change it doesn't seem to be worrying me. I don't have that nagging thought in the background of needing to finish what I'm currently making before I start something else. I am liking the fact that I have big projects, fiddly projects, and then some lovely simple ones, so I can pick something up depending on my mood or the amount of time I have available. Giving my self permission to project hop is very uplifting - you should try it or maybe you already have!

My projects are also very visible I seem to have a large selection of baskets housing them at the moment so I can see and admire them rather than hiding them away feeling guilty at my neglect.

I started this last night I wanted to experiment with some Spring Colours.



I was inspired to make my next blanket by this lovely Design Seed colour palette, Anita from My Craft Life and Heather from My Patchwork Heart



I love the Stylecraft colours and the blanket pattern is also from Stylecraft 


My favourite project is my beautiful baby blanket for Kate - we are expecting a new granddaughter in March - I can't wait. This is my fiddly project lots of colour change, lots of ends to weave in but it will be so worth it. The yarn is beautiful and I love the shades, it's the first time I have used Rico baby merino it is just adorable but definitely not a budget yarn.


I have been making little flowers and leaves to make one of Lucy's heart hangings.


I have also started my first Crochet Beginners Workshop for 2015 so had to get busy and crochet up some little hook pouches - the flowers also came in handy here.



I have to admit I do have more on the go but I will share them with you another day. Hope you all enjoy a lovely Saturday, talk soon
