Trying Again

I have missed blogging so very much, but a few months 

out was a must for me this year.

Its been a hectic summer & a busy autumn start

I've hardly had time to scratch.

Also my crochet, sewing hand has been incredibly sore for months.

I was real worried as to the problem, so after a brief GP visit & some

 strengthening exercises its all good again.

I haven't crocheted for months, not much sewing either

so now I'm so excited about getting to finish somebits & pieces I started 

way back in May, yes thats the last 

time I posted.....so onward at last!!!!!!!

There photos were taken in May back when I thought it was time to use 

up the far too many different colours of yarn in my possesion......

& there are many, way too many.

Anyway in the last few days I've managed to bring the number of squares

up to 100. These are small three round squares

& I want to make a good size blanket, I'm thinking

300 squares or so.....does that sound about right?????

So lots to do, but its so good to be able to crochet again

I sure did miss it.

Also to get me back in the saddle I hooked up some

pretty doilies just to nibble up my fingers.

I love how they look around the home....random touches of 

prettiness here & there.......

little glimpses of color with cups of coffee

crunchy cookies & my favourite yankee candle

I think I need at least five or ten more.

Some new fabrics to play with not to mention the two 

quilts I need to  finish....all in good time

Did however not neglet the art of baking & of course eating

said baked goods....not alone though.

But my absolute highlight of the last few months was

Sophie's graduation from university

I felt so proud, such a great day.

She's a titch just like her mom, maybe an inch taller

but no more than that.

I have so much catching up to do, not just on projects 

but with all your blogs...i have missed it all 

Have a wonderful weekend

Lots of love Karen x
