Hello!
I can't quite believe that we only have 2 days left till we move! I can't for the life of me work out where that time has gone.
Today I have hardly anything to do. Almost all of the rubbish and junk have gone, and I have run out of boxes until P comes home from work with some.
That means I've had plenty of time to write out and photograph the pattern for Crochet flower bunting!!

More crochet bunting / triangles

Hello!!
As you know I'm a big fan of bunting. What I the love most, is that serves to other purpose other than to look pretty! Yep, when you think about it, it really is useless! Yay!
I've made up a new pattern for bunting. So without further ado, let me introduce.
Pretty flowery bunting.





I have written the pattern out and will share it with you soon. As I'm sure you'll understand, I don't have a lot of time to spare at the moment! Most of my pretty things are in boxes now, and the house is developing that echo of emptiness. Anyhow once the move is done and we've unpacked, I'll start on those other patterns I promised you ages ago too!
Till next time.

Busy


Hello!
We may have found somewhere to live!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
I'm not going to be able to relax until I have keys in my hand though!
The provisional moving date is the 26th of March, hence today's busy title. Sorting through everything is a daunting task, I have turned into a bit of a hoarder! In one room alone I have thrown away 4 bags of rubbish! I have stuff piled up ready to take to a car boot sale, and anything that doesn't sell will be dropped off at the charity shop on the way home. I like having a plan, I hate it when life is flapping around, like a leaf in the wind! I'm a total bit of a control freak!
One thing about the nearly our house is that it has 3 bedrooms. Hummmm one for J, one for P and me, and one left over. That could mean CRAFT ROOM!!!
Speaking of crafts, I've found a little bit of time to fit in some crochet.

I have a problem with this 'thing'. I don't like it! The flowers, when viewed from the side, look like spiders when they do that hunchy thing, just before they run. Since I've thought that, my motivation to carry on has disappeared!
Although I have just previewed this post and they look quite pretty in the photo.
I'll think about it.
In the meantime I have succumbed to the Japanese flower bug!
I honestly didn't want to. I like to try and be a little different and not follow the crowd. That's why I started the above 'thing'.
So here's my Japanese flowers.

I do like them!
Till next time.
