Birthdays and CAL

Hello to you...

It's been a busy and windy week!

I hope everyone is safe and well after that awful storm and haven't experienced too much damage? We were lucky and only had one large branch down that landed in a safe place... It didn't half make a loud thump when it dropped!

My daughter turned 8 yesterday. I know everyone says it, but where does the time go? I can believe it.

So I hope I will be forgiven for being a day late with my post this week?

Yesterday we a had a small tea party for my daughter, with family and school friends. She told me later that she'd had a lovely birthday - so spending my whole day-off baking and cooking was totally worth it!

I did enjoy decorating the cupcakes!

They seemed to be popular. I have one or two left that I've squirreled away...

I made a little felt dolly from a 'Molly Makes' back issue. It was a lovely evening project, sat on the sofa in front of the fire...

Meet the kitties!

I found these on my camera and wanted to share them.

My fiance gave me these today!

I don't usually go in for Valentines day but I love my flowers.

Joining in again with the lovely Marianne and Chrissie 

Pop over and see what they've been up to this week - you wont be disappointed.

I've been crocheting a blanket this week just a never ending granny square one.

 I know its not a very good picture, the light has been terrible today. Will hopefully be ready for its reveal next week...

I'm very excited as I've gained some lovely new followers! YAY! Thank you for joining me.

I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend and stay safe and dry.

Mollie Makes Crochet Cushion CAL

 

Hello to you...

Hope you're all well?

This week has seen me turn 29 - my last year of being a twenty something! My naughty shoulder is playing up. I really hope it isn't RSI. I can't not crochet! And we've a new arrival in the shape of a feral kitten...

So, another busy week since I last posted.

So as you know, I've been joining in with ladybirddiaries and chrissiecrafts with their blooming crochet along.

I've really enjoyed the company through my various projects.

Last week saw me finish my CK inspired blanket so I've been twiddling my thumbs and wondering what shall I make next? My partner bought me this book about a month ago and I was instantly drawn to the granny square cushion...

 

Quite a simple pattern so not too much concentration necessary.

The book is great, full of colourful patterns and comes with a really cool folksy daisy free gift.

My partner bought mine from here

Well worth £5.

 

I've made my front panel - 36 squares all joined together. Back panel next.

A smaller project is welcome after the blanket.

 

 

 

Here is photo of my favourite birthday present - a genuine 1950's print of The Green Lady. I absolutely love it! My partner bought it for me and knows me so well...I'll stop being slushy now!

 

 Today my daughter, her friend and I carved pumpkins. We all enjoyed the messiness of it!

I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments about my blanket and also making me feel less mad RE my daughters rash...

A warm welcome to my new followers - lovely to have you here with me!
