Christmas

I had a really lovely Christmas this year. Despite an exceptionally poorly week leading up to Christmas I managed to improve enough to be able to enjoy the day!

I got some gorgeous crochet, craft and baking books which I can’t wait to make use of! So, hopefully, now that Christmas is over, I can start some new projects and post more frequently about them. I'm definitely looking forward to working through some new crochet projects and baking more regularly :)

Anyway here is my favourite picture from the day of me and my mum.

3 Positive things about today

1. I’m so lucky to have such a loving family.
2. Looking through crochet, craft and baking books I got for Christmas!
3. Snuggled in bed with the remnants of a chocolate orange while crocheting some of my new hexagon blanket, which I’ll try and post about properly soon!

Major lack of updates

Whoops, haven’t updated in ages. I’ve been busy starting volunteering towards a vinspired award which is exciting.

I hope to do a crochet post soon as I’ve finished my granny stripes blanket and started a gorgeous new hexagon blanket!

And I’ve been getting super excited and busy planning Christmas! So here’s a couple of festive pictures to get you in the Christmas spirit…

Scones!

So a little while back my mum and I baked scones! It was really fun and easy and the results were super yummy! Here are some photos :)

Yum yum yum!

Smile like you mean it.

Happy Halloween!

So I’m not normally a big Halloween person but fancied carving a pumpkin this year! It was actually really rather fun!
Here are the results….


And my gorgeous dog sitting with the pumpkin!
It took ages to get her to sit next to the pumpkin because she was scared of it!
Happy Halloween! xxx

Before I die

Yummy Cake!

So I spent a lovely morning baking this morning. I do love baking. And eating the result, obviously. Today’s creation… a lovely light sponge with a chocolate buttercream filling covered in milk chocolate, maltesers, white maltesers and smarties! Yum!

Happy days :) x

Andy the Alien

So I have this gorgeous book called Super-cute crochet. My mum bought it for me and I wasn’t all that excited about the front cover, a little to cutesy for me but inside there are some absolutely gorgeous animals.
You may remember my post about Ollie the Octopus a while back. He is also from this book. I’d definitely recommend it!
Anyway, here he is…

The colours haven’t reproduced all that well, the green is actually really bright, almost fluorescent! Hope you like him :)

Happy days

Its been gloriously sunny for this time of year which has meant a few unexpected trips to the ice-cream van in October!

I also have various crochet projects on the go at the moment.  Will be posting photos when complete! I can’t wait to see the gorgeous alien finished! He just needs 3 eyes and 6 legs!



And as usual I’m getting in to the christmas spirit too early for my family’s liking! But christmas crochet makes me all excited!!

Much love xxxxxxxxx
