Now I can get some gardening done!  There's a ton of weeds waiting for me.

In the vegie patch I found this, amazing markings!


See you soon.

Some More Blocks

Prince Protea Square

I am moving ahead with my block a month squares, one more to do and I'll be caught up!  I have decided to add the occasional darker colours as here as I thought it was starting to look a bit too sugary.
Fall Blossom
I found the fall blossom block quite difficult and had to do it a couple of times before I got it right.  But I like it a lot and it was worth the effort.  I am so enjoying this CAL as it is pushing my skills to the limit.


Let me introduce you to my fur baby Alley.  My what big eyes you have Alley!

Lets Start Again!

Hello There!

Yes I know I haven't been a good blogger.  To be honest I didn't know where to go with this blog.  I realise you have to have a passion to blog regularity.  I do have a passion but I was trying to add too many facets like cooking, garden etc.  So now on I will just blog about my passion crochet!

I did have a period where I didnt crochet as I didn't know where to gbo after the grannie blanket frenzy ran out.  But recently I have discovered Ravelry and oh my was I a happy person.


This cushion has been sitting around for months, poor thing!  Mu mojo was lost.  I decided to do the BAM2015 in the rest of the wool that I intended to use for the grannie blanket.  So it is going to be a stash buster!

The passion is back!

I have discovered a group 2015 Block a Month and the designs are gorgeous!  Over the last three days I have completed 7 squares!


Pizzazz January's main block

Happy Hearts February's Main block


Emmalynn March's main block
I am using Double Knot wool instead of worsted - what's that anyway?  So my squares are 9 inches instead of 12 inches.
There are 3 more optional squares that I hope to get done over the next week or so.

Well thats Blanket no 1.  I have started no. 2 from last years and patterns from Look what I made blog BAM Tutorials.  This blanket is for my sister and I need to get it finished before her birthday.





Yes, the passion is back, thankyou Ravelry!
