Sunny Sunday x

Well good evening my loves, Sorry I'm a bit late!! I've had a 'Friends Of.......' meeting at the school I work. I'm one of the main fundraisers so just had to attend. I have fab fundraising ideas, one is a 'Spooky Sleepover' in the school itself .....it is haunted!!!!!!! and a fashion show. I'll let you know how I get on.

My first piece of news is actually a thank you. Thank you Rachel of 'The Little Room Of Rachel' blog who sent me a picture of  my blog, it was featured in Lets get crafting magazine. I hunted high and low but couldn't find the right copy!
Imagine my delight in seeing my little old blog in full colour in a popular mag. It was only a small piece but I still had butterflies inside my tum x x

This week the crochet goes on and I have started to make a beautiful bag. I found the pattern on 'Colour in a Simple life' blog. It's beautiful. My mad pal Sally saw I'd started it and set a challenge to see who could finish it first. I sent a cheeky comment to her blog (cupcakes and crochet) last week telling her I'd finished it....I fibbed, I finished it Sunday evening. Tee...Hee ;)

It started like this......

And then turned into this......

And then this.....

And This....

Once all of the ends were sewn in I started to sew it together......

Looking good huh? The two sides were then added and the handles crocheted in.....

Taa, Daaa. Sooo cute. Lets have another pic.......

I love it and have already picked out the colours for the next bag x

Well, wasn't Sunday a glorious day. I put my hook down for a few hours to enjoy the sunshine and do a bit of gardening. I mowed the lawn, one of my most favourite jobs...honest. And then I set about chopping out the Zebra Grass.....

Not as easy as you might think!! My word it was tough. It took at least two hours!! In it's place we are planting a Plum tree. I'll show you a pic next week.

In between cutting and pulling and ranting! I spotted the rhubarb....

I can't wait for it to grow. We love rhubarb..yummy, yum.

The daffs are coming through all around the garden and look lovely and bright....

The tulips are coming through as well, they're nearly there so will show a pic next week.

Last night I started another project, I'm sooo busy trying to get stock together for my craft fairs. I've been accepted at The Gedling Show... yipeee.

Here it is, a lace like scarf. I know Spring is around the corner, but I couldn't resist it. I've used a super chunky yarn in the gorgeous pink.

My last piece of news is another crochet booklet I've bought....

It's by Debbie Bliss and I think it's the first crochet book she has done.
The patterns are fab, very sixties. Do you want to see more?.....

These are a couple of my favourite designs, also.......

And......

And there you have it my loves, what a busy week.

I'm off to crochet another section of scarf before I go up the wooden hill.

Night night for now and happy crochet x x x
