I have had a busy weekend progressing with the kitchen. My computer has left the kitchen and has been moved to my workroom/office upstairs. Hurray! More room in that area for pretties instead!
The walls have already been painted (Honey by Laura Ashley). Now we need to paint the wooden cupboards, back door, kitchen chairs and windows. In one area, (where the computer, scanner, printer and speakers used to be) I have began arranging things, moving them around every so often until I am satisfied that they are in the right place. I love doing that! More photos to follow when the decorating has been completed.
Sneek peek at some of the things I have been putting in my computer free area.

On Tuesday I was meant to go on part 3 of my crochet course held at Marmalade Yarns in Frome but unfortunately was unwell so couldn't attend. However, they kindly let me pop in yesterday so that I could go through my granny squares and correct some of the errors that I had made when left to my own devices at home. I left there feeling a lot more confident about making granny squares. Just before leaving, I bought 3 balls of acrylic wool to practice with.
I love this combination of colours!
I began working on this square last night.
Some of what I did yesterday.
Although I have made several mistakes on the way, I do find crochet very enjoyable! So many things that I want to make in time, Ooh, the possibilities....
During the week this arrived for me......

This beautiful scented bag is from Sonia's giveaway which I was lucky enough to win! It arrived with a pretty roses card. When my daughter saw this, she gasped saying how lucky I was to win something so pretty.
THANK YOU Sonia, I love it!
Happy Father's day to all the Fathers out there!

I am always in awe of people who can crochet. I took a two hour class with my daughter last year and we still can't figure it out:)

Hello dear soul
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is going to be sublime, I can just tell from the tantalising glimpse of pictures here today!
Congratulations too, I can see we have a fabulous budding crocheter in our midst!! It wont be long before you are making all sorts of lovely things for yourself. I still have the first little square I made last year when I first learnt, it was quite scratchy wool and there were mistakes in that too, but the sense of possibility I felt when I made it reminds me of you now.
Have a lovely week
Sending love
