Little snippets.....


Hello, I haven't been on the computer much this week, the boys are home and they kind of dominate, and by the time I get a chance I can't be bothered thinking of something to post!  So slack of me.

But anyway, I thought I'd show you how the 'wheels within wheels' blanket is progressing, I have made quite a few 'wheels' now, and I am loving seeing how colourful they are looking all together.

  
I think this will turn out to be my most grown up blanket once all these colours are set into their grey squares, I think it will a lot more subtle than it's looking now!


It does give me a happy feeling looking at these rounds, the pattern does 4 rounds of colours, but I decided to add another one to make them a bit bigger, I'm loving the 5 round look.


So anyway, I have gone a bit overboard with the colourful photos here but I think I needed a bit of cheering up, and this hits the spot today!



.......The other day I picked up a new order of wool for my shop, lots of lovely colour and some new things too, now I have to just get around to updating and adding the new yarns to the shop, today's job!



....And I just had to show you my lucky oppy score, a friend of mine mentioned that she thought I'd like the canisters she'd seen in the oppy window the other day, so I checked it out, and yes please!
Very cute 60s/70s willow tins, they just need a bit of a clean up and I'll be able to fill them with all sorts of crap treasures!


So that's a little catch up around here, I'will try and post more often, but sometimes life seems a bit mundane with nothing interesting happening to chat about, but we'll see I guess.

Have a lovely day!

  10. I have only recently come across your blog and am just learning crochet so i like to stop by and see what you're up to but i know what you mean. I've only updated my blog a couple of times this year, although i'm sure if i put my mind to it i could think of something that someone might find interesting. Happy crocheting :)

    Also the tins look nice, I'd like to have such for keeping my treasures in them. Yea, daily deals become more important at times, but I know that blogging is somehow our life too. So great to share things with others!
