The sun is shining.....

and this is my first blog, first of many I hope.

There is something invigorating about sunshine apart from the known benefits of vitamin D ,somehow it works its magic, I feel so much more able on a sunny day.

I am off now to visit a poorly friend, but when I return I have a few sewing projects requiring my attension and I look forward to that.

In the meantime , has anyone else been enjoying the new magazine 'Mollie makes'?,living and loving homemakes.This month they have an article on simple summer flowers to crochet, if you havent tried before, it is a fab way to use up all your odds and ends from the wool box, another avenue of intrest on the same topic is a book called 100 flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield which I own and can heartily recommend, it has a large selection of flowers to make and is a good reference book for the bookcase.

  1. Aha! I appear to be the first to comment! I can't resist an empty space. I just have to fill it with words. See?
    From a structural perspective, Antirrhinums are very interesting. Can you crochet those? They are the first flowers I remember being shown.
    As is becoming increasingly apparent: In this world of the internet, plasma tellies and short attention spans, making and creating is disproportionately satisfying.
    Well done! Keep writing!
