I love receiving packages through the post

But these had me stumped as to what they were, I normally can tell what they are but these. I will let you see for yourself.

I just love how they vacuum packed them, I had no idea what they were until I opened the packages

A lovely weekend!

Saturday was the Needlecraft Haven meet up in Nuneaton which is organised by Clare.
 We had a special guest from the USA, and some of us stitched a coaster for her to remind her of her trip to the UK, I stitched a sheep.
Yes I stitched!
I crocheted for most of the time.
 This is for a xmas wreath I am hoping to get finished for Xmas.
 I didn't realise that I had only taken the one project with me, so I nipped to Wilkos and got some different wool and started a C2C Blanket.
 
I bought some fabric today, as I went to the Old Dalby Crafters group, I have missed attending there every month due to work. It has been lovely catching up with everyone.
 
I have finished the C2C Scarf, here is my Cat Bella Modelling it.

Hooded Scarf

I know I have only just posted, but wanted to share my current project I am doing, My version of this Hooded Scarf by Melissa Grice
I am not sure if I am adding the ears or not though.


 But this chunky wool I bought from B&M is just lovely, I have also bought some in blue and the last two pink ones.

 
On a different note...
 
I have to say as I am getting older I really don't like fireworks anymore!

I'm back

I hope everyone is okay, and keeping warm.
I have just got back from Cyprus I actually did some Crochet, also a tiny bit of stitching which I can't share, sorry.
But here is the Crochet, I did most on the flight, as it was too warm to do out there.
Andy did get a photo of me crocheting but I won't scare you as I was in my swimsuit. xx
I did last night start a new project, I must really finish the ones I have already, but there is so much I want to do.

Wool glorious wool


I have finished my poncho, it is big enough to keep me warm. Not sure about adding tassels as I tend to catch them on everything, I am going to wash it and hope for the best.

But I have a new start...Yay! 😘


Love this, it is wool I bought at Yarndale and it was not cheap! It was from the Natural dye studio, Merino wool 100%
Ok off to hook some more xxx

Sunday stroll

Had a lovely walk today at Foremark Reservoir. Nice when the sun was out.

Picked some berries as I wanted to take a picture.

Have had a bit of a crisis with the poncho, I have ran out of the Orange with only a couple of inches to go!!

It has grown a bit!

But it still needs more. I am quite pleased with progress even though I have been off work, with back pain. It has kept me out of mischief!

Ha ha of course it is....

Yes it is a poncho, although I have re-started it as the neck was too tight,

 I have looked at different pictures of ponchos my favourite being one that Lucy of Attic24 has done I loved the pattern she did, but the colours were fab but too bright for me, I have chosen some scheepjes stonewashed wool that I saw somewhere on blogosphere, I can't remember where. 
Thought I would share this little cute project bag I bought at Yarndale, I love this fabric!
