CROOKED CROTCHET!!!

Good evening my dears,I am nearly cross eyed with crotchet,I have grasped it but I know that something is not quite right!! I think it may be the tension,but you could cut that with a knife every evening here at Davis Towers!Poor old hubby is sick to death of the American drawl on you tube as the dear girl is paused time and again for silly me to try to get the hang of it all.SO here is a square?? that I have managed after about 3 weeks!!I WILL master the skill if it kills me and it probably will be death by crotchet!!...........................

AS PRETTY AS A PICTURE

Hasn't it been a lovely day,I went to the Thursday flea market and got a gorgeous gold ornate picture frame and then a la Sarah I stapled a gorgeous piece of vintage fabric behind it and there I have a beautiful "picture"...................

SARAH! NEED I SAY MOORE!

HI,I am soooo thrilled to bits  I  have just purchased Vintage Home by the lovely Sarah Moore.I could have wept with joy as I turned the pages,they are sooo beautiful.The ideas seem very easy to achieve,I cannot decide what to do first!!!My heart rate went up at each page turn.I could seriously consider ripping up my stair carpet to wallpaper them,but sadly I have one of those things that are lovely and useful most times but sooo sensible at crucial creative times,yes that's right you've probably got one too,oh yes they're called husbands!!!! Here's my book sitting pretty on my settee.......

MAKINGS!

Hi, hope you are all well and not suffering with the variable weather!I have been sewing love note cushions to sell in LA BOHEME. I made them with vintage fabric.I sewed a heart on the front as a little pouch to pop in a love note for your sweetheart,hope they sell!! I am determined to learn how to crotchet and am struggling at the moment but I WILL master it,but how can a bit of wool and a hook be SO frustrating?Have been reading my favourite blogs tonight and they are all lovely with clever ideas and such talent!! Here are  my cushions..............
