Scarf 2

Last night I finished my scarf number 2.  I'm really pleased with it and have plans for some wrist warmers to match.

I am desperate to start a new project but Lucy at Attic 24 is about to reveal a new yarn.  So I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Lucy has been a major inspiration for me and I'm thinking of making a 'Sweet Flower Granny' blanket just like this one.
   

Having said that - I came across this pattern for a Heart Granny from Lilly Stitches which I'm also finding very tempting.   

In the meantime, I must get on with the chores and I have some yummy brownies I just have to make - thanks to Lorraine Pascale and her wonderful new series Baking Made Easy.

2011 - New Year - New Start

So here we are in a new year - and yet another attempt to keep my blog up to date. The children have been back to school for a day and a half and things are slowing getting back to normal.

Feeling quite chuffed with myself as the ironing is up to date (a big achievement!) and I made soup and some banana scones this morning.

My new years resolutions are:

• Waste Not...Want Not. I'm determined to stop throwing food away and not to waste money on things I could make myself.
• much less diet coke!
• more walking
• more sewing and crochet
• there are more.....

I have been crocheting like mad over the holiday. So pleased with my rainbow blanket. But the question is should I sell it....give it away....or keep it!

And a more subtle version...
