January 2019



 

Well new year new start as they say. Most of last year I kept saying I must start my blog again, but no it didn't happen. Because of my health some days I just haven't got the energy or strength to do anything, but enough of that lets get back to the choice this year what I would like to put in my Blog!

 

I enjoy needlework, knitting, crochet and the garden (especially my recycled green house).

 

At the moment I've just started planting my seeds in the green house, African daisy, Aster, Lobelia and Sweet peas. My aim this year is to grow more flowers as each year I don't seem to have much luck with veg for some reason. I shall still continue with my tomatoes and Pumpkin maybe melon too!

 

As I'm talking about the garden I would like to introduce to you my Ducks Daphne and Jemima, Jemima is my granddaughter's but she stays at my house. I do have a Chicken too named Mavis which I will take a photo of and put on the blog  next time. It's so lovely when I'm in the garden

 and they follow me around .

 

Stitching wise I'm working on a design by Calico and Stitch , I've never attempted Needle Turning before but I'm loving it , also choosing the fabrics for the clothing and the embroidery thread colours I love!

 

I'm also in between Crocheting a blanket a design by the wonderful Janie Crow (Mystical Lanterns) I was at a wartime (1930s-1940s) Vintage Festival and I saw this lady making this blanket , the colours she was using were beautiful , so I had to get my hook and start the pattern!

 

 

So that's me for now , time to pick up my hook and get some more crochet done! Till next time bye  and take care all!
