all things bright and beautiful

I learnt to crochet just before Xmas and launch myself into Xmas tree and robin and every thing Christmas by New year I was sick of seeing the red and green and gold  colour  Pallett I vowed to stay away from Xmas  projects but this weekend I reverted back to Xmas stars . That was untill my new mag plopped on to my  floor














To aS actually making lunch but at sound of postman I.abounded food and ripped open  the cellophane. It's a good issue  and although there was a number of things I want to make  .sausage dog being top of list but as soon as I saw this spring mandala I had to make it. Those dedicated crochet a in blog land will probably recognise  it as being  from.wink  I had never tried surface crochet as  if you can keep a secret  I have actually done  it wrong  but still pleased with result. The colours don't show  as good as I would like but if you get chance look at proper one in simply crochet  it a work of art. More importantly it awaken the desire to embrace spring just in time for my holiday at end of week where if weather kind hoping to crochet on beach .....shhhh bliss!
