Crochet

I had a nice day yesterday learning how to crochet a granny square at Made with Josephine. It was really nice as it was just me, Barb and Wendz. We all made a square each and Josephine's tuition and lovely homemade banana bread and coffee was brilliant.

Anyway - here is what I managed and I have never crocheted before. I have added a couple more rounds since then AND I even went through and sorted out all my oddments of wool (and I have tonnes) so that I can make more. It really is addictive.


Today I am still trying to sort out my sewing room. It's just hard because I also have a load of boxes in here with some of Alan's things in and so it's not been easy. I am trying to keep busy today as I've felt pretty down. Today was such a special day for us. I might go to the beach for a walk later maybe.

I desperately want to get my sewing room done as it will be my saviour to have something to do but I just seem to have a mental block, I don't know why really.

I just had to add this picture of Leeloo watching a virtual cat......



Anyway to all of you who are with someone special that you love then make sure you tell them today how much they mean to you and treasure every second. True love is a very rare and precious thing, so if you are lucky enough to have found your soul mate, as I did, then savour every single moment that you have.

Happy Valentines.

The street


Ok I know it's not snowy anymore but this pic of my road is so pretty. I got a new kettle by the way. Thank Goodness I can have some tea! Boiling water in a saucepan is so depressing.
