the hurrier I go the behinder I get

Hello friends...life has been keeping me busy, but wanted to pop in to say hello :o)

With daughter Marnie and grandson Denver living here with me my days seem to be rather full.

We did manage recently to get all our things (Marnie's and mine) that we have had in storage in Hobart for 4 years brought up to Deloraine.  So now the garage is full of 'stuff' until we can get it sorted, so the car has to live in the driveway.

I have been enjoying opening some boxes and finding lots of my lovely book that I had forgotten I had....

And also making new labels for some of my craft work that I was selling in the craft shop at Stanley as the lady in my favourite shop (more on that later) in Deloraine is happy to take them on consignment... 

 

The roses around town are beautiful at the moment...will try and get some photos...

 

Time to get Denver from the school bus...

 

More later.... xx

It's a grey day here today and is now also pouring with rain.  A good day to stay inside.

 

So I thought I would brighten your day (and mine) by showing you some crochet projects I have been working on lately and also some books I've been reading....

 

This will be a lap blanket in pink, green and cream...

It's finished now, and has been given to a friend.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a finished photo....

And this is my 'Stanley' blanket that I started while still living in Stanley in colours to remind me of my time there...the sea, sky, sand and plants (mostly grasses and lavenders)...

You can see the colours better in this picture.  I was also reading this book from the library while I crocheted...

And I had all these bits and pieces of yarn left over from other projects, so I decided....

....to make some cushion covers!  The one is finished (a 14 inch square) but I need to get a cushion insert for it.  Still working on the other one...

And I've just finished reading this very interesting, informative and entertaining book about a way of life that is foreign to most of us.  You can read some reviews about it here 

Back to the crocheting....
