I've managed with a heavy work load for May to add a few more squares to my new coat

its going to be a slow process but I won't want it until next Autumn Winter...

 I rather like the back of the piece too...

 Im also thinking I might add a flower to the back of it for decoration?...

Early days yet.

Stylecraft Special DK Brights...New Crochet sample Flowers

 Have you ever bought a ball of yarn and found it far too bright for your project?

 Then make some simple padded circles in the brights and add a dark grey flower....works a treat 

I'm making a throw with mine...adding a few flowers when I have time.

But it might make a great wrap too.

HAPPY HOOKING

New Mac so I'm back to blogging again

 Just for a change....a few paper flowers I have made to share

A NEW FLOWER CUSHION CAL...coming soon

Not a good 24 hours....a moment of pure anger, after windows did an update without telling me and I lost the 1.5hours of work i had just done on the cal post......

I killed it, DEAD, tears and tantrums and lack of sleep.

I now have a new Macbook and am learning slowly how it all works.

lots of help from everyone Bethany in particular, Phil and i spent half an hour truing every password combination for our WiFi last night and still we couldn't get on....the lovely Bethany arrives home with James after a few days Birthday treat away and tells us straight away what it is...your a dream.

Love you to bits i do. xx

EVENTUALLY WE GOT IN....

now I'm adding everything to my new macbook and learning how to use it all.

STAGE 4:Next round of the Chunky Monkey Cal is posted...

Hope you will all join in...
