Today..

In full production mode.. 5 weeks to the school Christmas fair.. 5 weeks to my first ever sale..

My week #39

A sunny trip to Sunbury antique market where I picked up some old French school maps and some old bobbins - and a cheese toastie for Y / taking Totoros out for a stroll / deep in books at the library / cross stitch in progress - taking a backseat for now as I'm gearing up for the school fair in 6 weeks time - so little time left and so much to make!! / starting a new diary / adding another round to my first granny square - now I need some yarn!

Thank you for all your kind words of support on my crochet debut, I shall keep going and I'm hoping to show you a blanket some time in 2014! Have a lovely week everyone.

Crochet debut

A 2 hour Granny Squares class at Tea and Crafting and this is all I have to show for it..

This crochet business is a lot trickier than I thought..

My week #37

It's been a bit of a funny week, Y's first proper week (well, 3 mornings..) at nursery, I haven't quite found my marks yet. It's been cold and miserable, we seemed to have stayed in a lot this week..

Colourscape - an enormous inflatable structure with maze like chambers in different colours, so much fun! / M's been stealing my Japanese drawing books and drawing, drawing, drawing.. / Hello cat! - on a wet walk back from school / making slow progress on my cross stitch project / nice reading with a nice cup of tea - I LOVE Come home magazine, it's so inspiring, with all those homes so full of character and so cosy, I want one! / choosing fabrics for my first order - 2 pocket quilts to make..
