more of the crochet blanket n treats for me

These are the treats for me, my daughter is a body shop consultant and i had a party for her last week, heres what i got, some lovely smelling cherry flavour shower gel, i also got the body butter to go with it, it smells so yummy and who could resist pink large nail files?

I have been wabting some of these lovely brushes for a while now.

I have sewed up the pile of granny squares i have been making because i just couldn't wait anymore, now i am still making them and adding round, it's quite big all ready but im going to keep going until i run out of yarn, its so soft.

I have just come across the lovely atic24 blog which has some of the most lovely crochet going on and where i found the pattern for this, its just a jam jar but im going to use it on my table to put pens etc in.

While doing the food shopping i picked up some mini daffs which are just the right size for my shabby chic tea cup.

It's a snow day!!

Don't ya just love to see it snowing.

I have been having a break from the granny squares and trying out a few tutorials. Heres a knitted flower which i found on ravelry and i have made this one for you, just leave a comment on this post and i will do a draw, i havn't put a broach pin on the back of this flower because i thought i could be used on anything really.

The secomd make is this lovely valentine heart which has a crochet edge, now i have had this one printed of for ages and only just got round to making it, i found it on blog land and i think it is by orange flower, but this ones for me.

Its booked....

our holidays for 2009 have been booked today.

we are going to spend Easter in Portugal with my sister in law and family.

Lucky for me my sister-in law owns this lovely apertment which she rents out. Its the first time for me going abroad, my daughter went there last year and said how fantastic it was so i have plucked up the courage to fly.

just look how lovely it looks.

in my work basket....

Right now in my work basket which sits at the side of my seat is the crochet granny squares.... again, the pile is growing though and i so want to get this finished, i started it last year then put it away but its back out again now and im hoping to have it finished this year.Its made with sugar n cream cotton yarn and its lovely n soft.The main colour is white with pastel pinks, creams, greens, blue etc. I did put all the squares out on the floor just to get a feel of how its going to look last night and i loved it.

Also just finished these new face cloths, or dishcloths, they are just the easy grandmas favourits cloth but then just to fancy it up a bit i have added some edging to them.

And the winner is.....
