a great start to the New Year....

That crochet cushion that I was working on in my last post is now finished....

 

With all those squares it only meant 1 thing --- loads of ends!!! (pattern pictured - from the book Molly Makes Crochet)

 

Now that it's finished I love it and so does my Connie - so just like that it's hers!!

 

There have been loads of button orders making their way to new homes over the past couple of weeks - my girl is loving it!!! There's nothing quite like packaging something up and popping it in the post for someone special...

 

I've been pulling these old and worn boots on almost every night since the 'New Year' --- taking time to breath a little at the end of my days, enjoying some much needed down-time/exercise!

In the early morning I sneak in some knitting time and the New Year has seen me start a project which I'm extremely excited about... Ysolda's first ever KAL --- 'follow your arrow', it's addictive and interesting and everything that I was looking for (and needing) in a knitting project. Clue #4 is released tonight and I just can't wait to see where the mystery takes me next!

 

In between KAL clues I've managed to finally join some squares that have been in my WIP basket for way too long...

 

After a quick 'hot' wash in the machine they are now felted and ready for sewing together when the urge hits again.

 

I love that my biggest girl loves to craft and this week was super excited to see her starting a very special project for a birthday later in the year - granny squares are kinda her thing at the moment!! 

 

And lastly, a 'night snap' of my girl and her new pillow just before she snuggles in to bed for the night --- good night... xx
