Crafty Sunday


Hello...... How's your week been?
I can report mine did get better, thankfully!

I thought this week I would do a post purely for Crafty Sunday.

I starting the week doing something just for me.....


It's coming on nicely but I promised myself I would make 2 hexagons a week but it hasn't worked out that way. I will finish it one day

I finally finished my granny square blanket....


This is a gift for my friend's new baby, she loves these blankets & I've offered to teach her but she won't have it. She did plan to come to Make, Do and Mend to make one before the baby came but it's 2 weeks to go & she never made it!

I made this before I found out she was having a boy so it's unisex!

I have a stash of wool.....


and this week I'm about to start another gift for him, I hope to show you soon but maybe not next week!
He has no name as yet, we were thinking of names last week....blimey it's hard!

I'm excited this week as I've had a brilliant idea for Make, Do and Mend, we're also going to be part of a 1940's event & we've been nominated for an award!

I'll be back with more news :)

BTW I'm up to 97 followers...it's a slow process as 1 person joins another leaves - not sure what I'm doing wrong!.....but anyway when I finally get to 100 followers I will be doing a giveaway.....so if you read my blog but don't follow please do.

    I love crochet, that blanket is beautiful and the hexie one is incredible. I still can't quite get the hang of it but I am trying.
    Beautiful!

    Your blankets are gorgeous, I think it will be years before I finish my first blanket, I have to be in a calm mood to crochet or I get frustrated by it !

    Those blankets are gorgeous, I bet your friend will be thrilled with the baby one, what a wonderful gift.

    How exciting for Make Do and Mend - I'm not going to be around much over the next couple of weeks, but I'll look forward to hearing all about it next time I'm on the computer. x
