Just because...

Sometimes I feel the need to make something just because I feel like seeing something pretty. It doesn't need to be for anyone or be particularly useful.

 

 

 

Lets just make something because!

Sunshine on a windy Sunday

Today I woke up to the sun shining through the window and the birds singing in the garden.

A lovely way to start the day.

On such a lovely day who wants to stay inside (yes I know I need to iron and clean) so coat on - still a little chilly and very windy - and off I went.

I am very lucky to live close to the coast. I find watching the waves a great way to relax.

 

 

After a wander along the beach I headed along the promenade and over to the Marina.

 

 

 I felt that after all that walking I deserved a little ice cream treat.

 

This is definitely one of the best ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.



Granny Square Love

Whenever I am feeling a little low on inspiration I love to go back to the good old granny square. This was how I taught myself to crochet and have loved the simplicity of it ever since. I love how quickly they work up and the way they can change by changing the widths of the colour bands.

 

First I made a snuggly blanket for my best friends little boy.

 

 

 

He is a big fan of Dr Who so I got out some lovely blue shades that will match his favourite theme.

 

I've never had so many hugs and kisses for one of my crochet gifts x

 

 

At least now my friend will be able to snuggle under her own blanket I made for her and her little boy will have no need to pinch it anymore.

 

I then found some gorgeous spring inspired colours and began again, as I couldn't leave my friends daughter without a snuggly blanket too!

 

 

 

I think this has to be one of my favourites, the colours are so warm and vibrant.
