A little later than I had anticipated, but operation Yarny H.U.G has begun.

Whilst I was enjoying the short daily posts throughout February as part of #yarnlovechallenge I set to work with my hook and some scraps of yarn and made these beautiful may roses by Lucy @Attic24.

With the addition of a hanging loop and a clip, I soon had a little tree full…

I also have a small shoe box full of half completed ones too.

With the cute little cards attached I am ready to leave them all over, just waiting, ready to be found…A Happy Unexpected Gift; a great big yarny HUG.

Why not join me in spreading a bit of yarny love.  To get involved just leave me a message. 

Take it, embrace it, be a part of it!

Happy Colour…

Day 16 of

#yarnlovechallenge 

and it’s still not too late join in. 

The theme for today is ‘happy colour’.

I do not have a favourite colour as colour is inextricably linked to how I feel.  When I close my eyes I see wonderful colours and patterns. I even enjoy pinning colours.

Colour quite simply is in part the essence of joy for me.  And, whilst this is a true blessing…it makes the decision of choosing colours sometimes very difficult indeed.

Where I craft…

Day 8 of

The theme for today is ‘where I craft’ 

The honest answer is wherever I can.

I love this photo and I love that my crochet is so portable.  It is always a conversation starter too.  With 3 active boys I crochet in some strange places, this picture was taken at the skate park.
