lovely week

 I have been enjoying my week, I have been visiting lots of craft fairs.I would of liked to have been a stall holder, but not got enough stock.I have brought some early Christmas presents and bits for the house, some lovely glass wear.Even though I did not get to do a stall it was educating.I took notice of how people displayed there stock and things they were selling.Have you ever done a craft stall of your own?
  This week also has been lovely in that I celebrated  my wedding anniversary.My hubby brought me a gourgeous bunch of flowers, with all the colours I adore.He also brought me a book I wanted for so long"homespun by Selina Lake"

 I have also started another project, and will have to get back to the other I started another time.This new project is going to be a blanket, it uses up little balls of left over wool effectivly.I have lots left since my ripple blanket.
 Any way hope I have not rammbled on, Hope you have all have a lovely weekend : ) xxxx

Growth

Autumnal weather is creeping slowly but surely.Things are starting to die back, colours fading. I enjoyed growing stuff in my veg beds, yielded some knock out potatoes.I have never grown
Potatoes before, organic ones rule.They were fluffy and creamy.I grew other stuff but ate them all ready so got nothing to show you there! I did try to grow runner beans hopeless.the slugs were having none of it.There is a happy ending to this story.The other day I sat at the bus stop talking to a old fellow, and we got talking about vegetable growing.Told him about my disappointing runner beans crop, just so happens he has an alottment and was on his way home from there.He had a bag full of runner beans.What he did next suprised me, he only gave of what he had picked how kind.know the proof is in the tasting, delicious.Yum x

Fabric fun

I thought i would share with you some of my attemps at patchwork.I know not very neat, but none the less colourful.I reallly enjoy sewing but not that good at it.My point being, never be put of by a craft because you not brilliant at it, do it for the sheer creativity. The quilt at the bottom is has old as my daughter, 13 years old.I started it when she was little its made from clothes she out grew.I even did some applique feet, her little feet back then were my template.I like remembering what outfits all the little patches came from.What crafts do you like doing even when it gets the better of you?

To be or not to be, umm!

This is a little something I started a while back, it started life has four seperate squares  that were supposed to grow in to a lovey lace like design blanket, I used a chenille type yarn.It was easy to crochet with, just was not likeing the results. So I  decided  against a blanket and joined what squares i had made already. So i  thought these need jazzing up a bit, hence the little flowers, and pink boarder.well I tried im not very good at flowers.Now im left with dilemma of what to turn this into, maybe a cushion case, a bag maybe, what do you all think?Hope you all have a splendid weekend x

summer runner

Just thought I would post  a couple of pictures of another runner I made for my dear mum.
This runner is a long one that my mum puts on her  long side board.Gone a bit colourful again, but hey ho!
 Loving all the lovely bright colours of summer so also gone mad with colourful flowers in my garden too.
   Hope you all enjoing this summer, and spending lots of time in your gardens and of course crafting X
