WIP's




I have a lot on the go at the moment.......


.....My plan was to try and get a couple finished, just so I had a free craft head to get the christmas makes started....

....so many on the go.....

....having fun though, now my mojo is back.....

..........I seem to be back on the eclectic brights............

....gosh, I love working on this........

.......loving each and every WIP.......


.......well almost.......

...this was Baby Bear's blanket started at the beginning of the year. I am struggling with this one. Baby Bear chose the colours, and I am finding them quite hard to work with. They are just not my kind of colours. Laid out on the bed though, it actually looks alright, so I need to carry on with it. It will be as small as I can make it though!...

....ahhhhhhhhh this is more me.........the Evening Sun blanket....progressing slowly but surely. I keep stopping to start small projects but I love the vintage look of this blanket and will be very pleased with it when it is finally finished....

.....bright and cheery patchwork. I started this an age ago too but I really love it. I need to get my act together. It could well be a gift for a nieces bed....

....more Cath-esque.......

.....a bit more autumnal granny colour......


.......ooooooohhh.........

.............aaaahhhhhhhhhh.............


....and completely in ❤ with these babies.......


❀❀❀❀❀


......very excited with what's on the go at the mo.......

busy...busy...busy....

.....I might even get something finished soon to show you and have a ta-dah moment.....

  14. That's a fair few wip's (or should it be wsip ... I never know) and they are ALL gorgeous. Although I agree with Jo, the colour combo in the Evening Sun is extra gorgeous. Looking forward to all the ta-dahs to come!

    @ Sam and Vintage Jane and anyone else who can't crochet ... I couldn't either, until I tried the Meet Me at Mikes (free) Crochet 101 video tutorials and now I can. I need lots more practice but oh, the joy of that first Granny square :D

  15. Gorgeous gorgeous crochet things! I love your colours for the Evening Sun blanket especially, they are so unusual and work so well together...but all your colours are lovely. It's nice to be busy and have lots on the go, but I know what you mean about having a clear head for new projects...and a clear house too when things get finished and put into use or given away! Glad you've got your mojo back and are feeling better again.
    Have a great week.

  17. Thank you for the wonderful pictures of your beautiful work. Love them! I really enjoy your blog. Thank You for taking the time to share your thoughts, craft and life with us-you live beautifully. I also am a big fan of your Pinterest and find myself repinning a lot of your pins.
    I am new to crochet, learning off of the internet & books. Just finished my first afghan and would like to know if I should block it? Do you block, steam yours?
    Thank you!

  27. Hard to spread yourself out over so many projects isn't it? But also soooo fun! Everything looks beautiful. I'm also working on something for my son, and it's boring because I don't like the colors. Funny how that works!

  30. Oh wow! You do have quite a few things on the go don't you! I wish I could be working on so many things and feel so happy about it, I can't help but just get stressed thinking that I'm never going to get round to finishing anything..!
    I really really love the autumnal colours on the big granny square at the bottom. It looks really lovely.
