Well last weeks impromptu blogging break wasn’t planned. A mess of illnesses, moving house paperwork and visa paperwork all seemed to land at once, so I didn’t even have time to pick up a needle nor blog about it. In honestly, when things get too much, I loose my crafting mojo a little, which is odd when sewing is certainly for me at least, a stress reliever.
Anyways, last weekend I managed to get back into my crafting routine although it’s been the same old two projects has stitching catchup #4 – the cute little birdie thank you card and the ever growing granny blanket.
I pretty much messed this card up from the off, I somehow started the stitches in the wrong place and being too small to use a decent size hoop my stitches are far from neat. Still, it’s cute all the same. Only needs an hour or so finishing off some extra flowers and back stitching then it’s time to turn it into a card.
We hint an estate sale on Saturday that had a load of odd balls of wool in pretty colours that I managed to grab a ball full of, some of which will no doubt find their way into the blanket. I think I’m on about the 36th round, and well it’s getting a little warm to be sitting under it while crocheting, but battle on I must!
Hopefully between hours spent packing our apartment up this week, i’ll find some time to do some more crafting, and hopefully some more blogging, fingers crossed at least!
