Home sweet home x

I have had two cozy, well appreciated two days off this week.I have balanced out housework and crafting. I can not work in mess, and once things are all tidied, theres no guilt spending hours of my time crafting.
  This week I have been revisiting old projects that need finishing.I do not know why we start a project with great enthusiasm and then simply get bored later...So this week is been all about completion.Now im back on these projects,boy am I enjoying my self.

  My yarn stash of odds and ends is slowly disappearing into a new blanket / throw I
know exactly where its going to once its finished, in my craft corner. I am in the process of  creating a new craft area for my self, and yes when im all moved in you will all be the first to see it in all its glory ha ha !When it comes to creative spaces I love to see how other crafters organise there spaces.
    I have some beautiful yarn that I brought a few months back.I splashed out on  some real wool yarns and what to have a go at some felting.What projects are keeping you all occupied this week?
  I will be planning projects in the garden, with spring approaching the garden is coming back to life.This box of bulbs waits for no man.They are sprouting as we speak in the container so need to be planted ASAP.
This will be my container of choice a bucket!With a few drill holes and all those colourful
bulbs its going to look delicious.Im loving this hot pink colour at the moment.
  Hope you all have a great weekend xxx

  1. What a clever idea using your wine carrier as storage I think I will be copying that idea! your blanket is fab! Your black edging is great and the colours in the middle are much nicer than mine!!
    Have a lovely weekend x

  5. Hello Joy - gosh you put me to shame, I have a couple of unfinished blankets that have been sorely neglected for so long … I'll think about them!!! Your black edged blanket is going to look stunning - keep at it girl, you're doing well! And I love your hot pink bucket, it'll be brilliant loaded with lovely spring blooms! Have yourself a wonderful weekend! Joy xo
    PS I'm still stitching and crocheting, trying to get a balance ...

  8. That bucket is going to look gorgeous with all the flowers in, isn't it lovely to see all the plants coming to life in the sunshine? Unlike you, I can work perfectly well in a mess - and I make huge amounts of mess while I am creating and then tidy at the end! xXx

  9. Your blanket is looking great, sometimes it's hard to keep going with a blanket though isn't it and lots of breaks are necessary!

  11. Hi Joy...Wow that blanket is looking so darn pretty! I'm just like you...I can't do anything till the house is all nice and tidy first, but then let the fun begin! I'm glad you had two days off to enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing the crafty corner you're putting together. I'm sure it will be a wonderful little space you won't ever want to leave! xo

  12. Your blanket is lovely, sometimes having a break from something makes it like starting a new project again when you return to it xx
