mothers day

Well the UK are celebrating mothers day  a day where mothers get a day off ......

Yer right!!

When I think of mothers day I think flowers so I decided to make myself a broach . I had some back I got with a free kit so I found a pattern on ravelry and actually had the right wool. It needed drops Paris so I set off to work and a hour later here it is


Not bad for first attempt

roaring twenties

Well spring has sprung .it  still.cold but  Sun is out  and I like to keep my projects seasonal

My new magazine came with its cover kit were six  small.balls of four ply  so I decided to make a 1920 cliche. Hats don't really suit me .but I loved this pattern on sight so  I set about it

Here it is


I love the colours  it reminds me of ice cream.



The brim blue is almost  ocean like. And  since it twenty eight days till my holiday . These memories made this hat fly off my hook 

Doesn't change the fact that when I am.wearing it I don't look any where near as good as the model but hey can't have every thing can you

st davids day

 In my house these patron saint days have a different meaning my brother was called David and he thought this was a celebration of him lol

My eldest is George and he to has ideas of grandeur especially after a certain Prince was given same name

However for me I like it because of the connection to Wales .I go every year on holiday in fact five weeks today I will be walking on a beautiful beach ! I eventually plan to make it my home so couldn't let the day pass without a mention of it here


I made these last year when I was very new to crochet. The pattern said it was daffodils but as you can see they are really not lol

I would love some staffs to brighten up place but am.determined not to start another project even a small one if you fancy a go at your own bunch why  not head over to attic 24  where  Lucy got lovely  pattern I would love to see you flowers and who knows might get my own done some time soon


Maybe in time for next year lol
