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!

  4. You sure have been very busy this month! Lots of lovely birthday gifts :) The brooches are beautiful and I love the endless granny stripe snood :) I'm glad you are feeling better - and that your garden is starting to bloom. We have about 2 feet of snow right now - so perhaps another month before we see the spring flowers popping through the ground. Have a great week!! Rhondda

I'm happy to hear you are feeling better again FB - and how busy you have been - gorgeous little hearts and lovely gifts which surely will be loved and appreciated by the very fortunate receivers.

No, I don't believe it, you can't!!! Only teasing, you're off the hook - if you want to be, haha!!! Love, Joy xo
