A spot of crochet

Just dropping by very quickly to say that some crafting activity has been resumed! 

In the last couple of weeks I have been able to pick up a crochet hook and start hooking away again, something I have been just too queasy to do before.

Granny squares are always a good easy start aren't they?  I cna happily hook away at these without feeling too sickly. 

And also a little thrifting has been happening!  Oh yes, this little cupboard was an eBay bargain at, wait for it, £6!!

It won't be staying dark and woody of course, it is destined for sanding and white paint and pretty drawer liners!  I am hoping this won't take me two years to get round to doing, I'll keep you posted!

Hope everyone is enjoying a sunny crafty Friday!

Crochet flowers

I love crocheting flowers  I like that they are quick to complete and often fairly easy.  I've been happily using the Sarah London pattern that hubby bought me for mother's day to create lots of three-layered flowers.

Having created rather a lot of red flowers like the one above I decided to start playing with the colours in my stash...

And now I have a colourful happy little garden of flowers growing steadily in number!  I am soooo happy with this pattern, it was only a fiver for a start (not that I paid of course,it being a gift) and it is really easy to follow.  I am also really pleased that I eventually worked out I could change each layer to a different colour, it took me far too long to use my initiative on that particular point!

I am not sure where my cheery little flowers will end up, for now I am just happy to have a hooky distraction :)
