yearning for yarndale

Last year I couldn't crochet . My closest friend excitedly went to yarndale and I wished  I could have gone.

This year I cam crochet and we made plans to go but family issues and redundancy and lack of cash in general  meant neither of us could go

The I Gerber full off picture of the bunting , yarn bombing  not to mention the mandala and I feel disappointed  so to cheer myself I decided to make a mandala . Well not true really it's a vintage vase coaster  but it's basically sane thing lol.

It's actually something I made before here is my original

And here is today's effort

Love these colours and remind me of lucy choices . It cheered me up and broke my gloom.at missing out I hope it does the same to any of you also not lucky enough to go . Who knows I may see you next year

a dogs life

The day has been miserable here rain rain and more rain . I have to be honest I don't mind as excuse to crochet . I have made most of the flowers and I am really pleased  with how they going .

However this blog's is not about my love of flowers but I had to show you I am not the only one to love my crochet. Remember  my hippo

   

Welll

 Apparently my dog thinks  all that work was to provide her with a cushion. Lol I don't have heart to move her

how much is that doggy in the window?

 I thought I would share my wip with you  as I doubt I will finish before my holiday and he to cute to be ignored  . I took many pictures  untill I realised you need to see whole thing

So here  he is  . I think you can see why he had to be placed top (dog ) of my to do list. I love dogs . I have a four year old jack russell. She very friendly but bit of diva. She hates the spotlight not being on her . So now my dog has a head and neck and he on sofa ( typically her spot) she is less than Impressed !
