can anyone help??

Im just wondering if anyone out there wopuld be interested in a swap/trade? I am in need of your odments of lily peaches n creme cotton yarn in sililar colours to the blanket i am making.

I started this a while ago and as the dark nights are now drawing in i thought i would pick it up again but i have run out of some colours, i have green, red, cream and white but would love some light pink, aqua and blues, or any other colour which would mix in well. I would swap for one of my mug warmers, or apple bag??

Dont forget the giveaway, theres still time to enter its in the last post.

and the winner is..... also another giveaway

Iv'e tried for ages now to copy and paste the winner for the mug warmer from the number generator thingy... i can copy it but then there is no paste? So anyway here is the winner

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.
