When I recieve lovely etsy parcels in the mail..

I am even happier when the cover of one
of these gorgeous Dottieangel notebooks
has the very photo of the apron I bought from her...

Pass me a tissue please...
It's all too much...

Yes I have managed to go and get myself
the dreaded lurgy...
After such a nice start to the week too...

Thank you for your sweet comments last post...
and for the great links...
They have sent me to some lovely sites and blogs...
Just what I needed...

So while I lay low for the rest of the week...
And cough and splutter some more...
I would love to find some more interesting places to visit...
Maybe you have a favorite blog?
Maybe it even has nothing to do with crocheting?

Some of my favorite blogs are totally different to what I do...
I just love getting inspiration from all creative people...

And it's ok too if you want to share something that you think
I would like from your own blog...
Just leave a easy link so I can pop over...

Till next post...Stay safe...
Eat healthy...and keep those dreaded lurgy bugs at bay...

How is your Monday...
Quite...or busy...

Have you stumbled across any great patterns...
or maybe a great new blog...

Have you finished a project or maybe bought some
fabulous new wool to start one...

Whatever your week holds in store...
I hope it is just full of goodness and smiles...

And a couple of hugs...they never go astray...

I have seen lots of pictures over on Ravelry of some granny cushions
made from my patterns...Just gorgeous!!!
I would love to see these added to the group if you have a flickr account...
They are just so many crafty crocheters about it's lovely to see there work...full of colour and granny goodness...

I will be back soon with pics of something new and arty I have been working on...

Roses Are Red...

Roses are Red,

Denim is Blue...

Blogging is sweet,

with friends like you...

Happy Valentines Day my dears...

These flowers are part of an installation crocheted art piece

I am working on...

Getting side tracked again...

But I am loving it!!!

I like Blue...do you...

 Most of all like it when it all comes together so perfectly...

Bursting with Granny Goodness...

Crocheting my way to Happiness...

As we all know,

crocheting can just help sooth the soul...

So I have told myself to just pick up the hook and get on with it...

I told myself this in a very gruff, important voice too!!!

And I think for once I was listening...

So I have now finished another Tissue box cover...

and managed to make a very simple Granny square cushion...

complete with pretty little picots around...

I am in the very early stages of a new pattern...

The stage where I have undone so many times I have gone quite loopy...

It will be about a week or so before I am totally finished,

at least I have an idea now which direction it is heading...

The buzzing direction I think...

Thank you all so much for your encouraging words of late...

I think it was the enormous kick in the butt I needed...

 Now if I can just find those boots again 

as I think there is a pile of dishes to do and a few floors that need cleaning...

P.S...You can still e-mail me for the Granny Chevron Blanket pattern...

Just pop over to the side bar and click on the ABOUT ME...

and that will take you straight to my profile and e-mail details...

Till next post...

Keep up the Granny Goodness...

The Waiting Place

Have you ever read the children's book...

Oh, The Places You'll Go

by Dr Seuss???

I have...

It describes The Waiting Place...

I think that's were I have been stuck

for quite some time...

And as the story goes...

I need to escape...

Maybe it has been a combination of things...

The excessive heat...frying my brain...

Work...Sweating kilo's off me...

Uncertainty of what to do next...

Yes just waiting...

Sometimes it's not hard...

To kick ones butt!!!

Maybe I just need to buy a bigger pair of shoes...

I have been very remiss in not blogging...and for that I feel quite bad...

So until I shake myself out of it all...

Or buy some enormous shoes...

I will try to keep you close

and all of your sweet comments even closer...

Maybe the start of the Chinese New Year will do it...

I mean honesty who can resist the year of the rabbit...

How cute are they...

And I will leave you with a pic

of me this morning...

Trying to start on improving my disposition...

Hugs to you all...

P.S...If you would like a copy of the Chevron Granny Blanket pattern

please just e-mail me and I will send you out a PDF...
