photo overload

I can't believe i havn't blogged since April....... so here's what i have been up to since then

Cupcake purses which will be on etsy at some point this week.These are so cute and crocheted in cotton yarn.

Little baby booties

wev'e been on holiday to St.Ives, its the first time i have been here and hopefully it won't be the last, its such a lovely place which we all enjoyed!

Just look how lovely it all looks

The water is so blue over there and such clean beaches

We stayed in the second log cabin.

Me and Laura at lands end

Me and Ellie at land's end

Our house for the week

we're home

we look a bit worn out here but have just climbed up hundreds of steps.

the kids even managed to get in the sea

We are back from our hols and have had a lovely time at the Algarve, the weather was nice, i even coped ok with the flight bit and sat near the window coming home.We stayed in a lovely appartment which was very nice and had everything close by with just a short walk down to the beach, my sister in law owns it which was lucky for us so if anyone fancies renting it i can fully recomend it!

We are all a bit sad to be back home now though and its so cold.

I'm Hooked....

on crochet, i really should be getting our suitcases packed n things ready for our holidays but im trying to take my mind of the flying so if any one has any tips for someone whos scared of flying then please let me know them.Im trying out the tutorial from Lucy at attic24 for the hexagon blanket with some scrap yarn i have left over from the granny squares blanket.

Heres the finished ripple cushion which is also from Lucy's tutorials.

See you all when i get back.

my new doors

For the past week or so we have been having a bit of a change around in the kitchen and its finally finished, well almost, the pics are a bit crap because its a bit dark in the kitchen first thing.

they lead into my conservatory which has had a lick of paint in this lovely shade of green

last night i started a ripple cushion which Lucy at attic 24 has posted a great tutorial for

in this last pic if you look close can you see it?? Dirty paw prints going down my newly painted cream wall! The cat has climbed in thropught the window and then she walks along the top window and climbs down the wall.

wip's

Have you seen the tutorial on Sara's blog over at paper and string? It's for making these lovely felt purses.

I couldn't stop at one and ended up making four of them!

Here's my wip , after making my crochet blanket i really wanted to make another one, this time it's a bit brighter with red as the main colour.

crochet blanket and jars

Here's my little corner in my conservatory where i can quite happily sit for ages in the summer.

It's finished at last and i love it, so does the dog as well. I want to start another one now and im thinking bright colours for the next one.

now these i can't stop making now iv'e started. There is a tutorial for these on Attic 24's blog along with lots of other lovely things, i love this blog.

The dolls set is also finished and is now on ebay so fingers crossed it sells.
