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.

has it really been a month

Since i last blogged???? where has the time gone to, i have been busy knitting and taking pics as i go along so heres a few pics.The ones above are dolls set with knitting lace.

This one is made with magic wool which knits up like this.

heres my daffs which have looked lovely while they have been in flower.

and here is my new rocking chair!! I love this and when my crochet granny squares blanket is finished it will look fab on this chair.

and lastly is some HOME letters which i won on ebay not sure where i am going to put them yet so they are in the hall window for now.

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.
