CAL A quick Valentine Update

Hello to you...

Hope you're all well?
I'm much better now after my week of lurgy.

Its very wet and wild here at the moment and brr so cold!

Some poor people have experienced awful weather - my heart certainly goes out to them.

I thought I'd hook up a quick valentines treat for my fire place.

The pattern I used for the hearts is here from Attic24.

They were quick, easy and lots of fun to make.

In my last post I mentioned I had a few birthdays to make for this month, so I thought I'd show you what I've made...

Lily pad brooches.

A never ending Granny stripe snood...

and an alien gadget case.

Hopefully all of them will be gratefully received. We shall see.

So what else have I been doing this week? Hmm...

I know...

 I hooked up a cushion for the kitchen.

I used my Drops Paris yarn for the stripy front and Style Craft Grape for the back.

It's a lovely shot of colour for these grey days...

My garden this week...

wall flower,

catkins,

seed head,

cyclamen.

Hope that you've enjoyed a lovely week?

Now I'm off to see what everyone else has been up to this week....

 Sure Chrissie and Marianne will have lots of lovely crochet and links to others too!

CAL Pretty Flower Brooch

Hello to you.

Hope you're all well?

This week I have had some changes in my life. I've got myself a little part time job cleaning and ironing for a family down the road. Prefect timing - just before Christmas!

I made myself a little flower brooch this week.

I've finally managed to treat myself to Cute and Easy Crochet with Flowers.

Here is my lovely new copy.

I wanted to start myself off with a quick project, so I chose the brooch.

The book is full of amazing projects.

Some of which the ladies from the CAL crochet-along are making.

LadybirdDiaries and Chrissie Crafts are making a beautiful hexagon blanket.

 

So I made all the bits first...

Then sewed them together, easy as that.

Here it is on my cardigan! ready for its first outing.

I must say I'm really enjoying joining in with the crochet-along. I really enjoy popping into other blogs and seeing the lovely things they're making.

 



 

This time my crochet is definitely blooming. Still working on the CK inspired blanket only a few more rows to go now! And then I can get bordering.

Hope that you've all enjoyed a lovely week.
