BRUPBRUP LOVES TO LIE ON PLASTIC BAGS...

Cute...

Almost managed to do all the holiday washing but with Phil having an accident badly cut hand d 6 stitches and a week at home with me, a great day out with a new crochet loving friend and watching a couple of great films plus a visit to Phil's twin sister the crochet has taken a back seat for once.

 A couple of samples but the light is so bad at the moment pictures are not looking so great

Knitting and Stitching show day out tomorrow... a long day but hoping to manage a few rows of the moss stitch blanket on the 7 hour journey there and back.

Hugs to All xx

ONE OF MY HELPERS...Lettuce

Lettuce decided I need some help with the Shell stitch cushion...

have a fun filled Sunday everyone x

SHELL STITCH CUSHION FINISHED..2 DOWN ONE TO GO

Oooops I was woken up at 4.15 this morning but fell asleep again about 9ish and didn't wake up until 12, but managed to finish the 2nd Shell stitch cushion by about 4 this afternoon.

The motif bag in the collage, that isn't quite finished would make a great cushion too, don't you think?

Can't finish the second straight Moss stitch as I have run out of one of the most important colours. 

So a cone of cashmerino and a James C Brett marble are about to become something.

Have Fun x

STRING PEG POTS...

Forgot to show you these, a friend ask if I would make her a peg bag a few weeks back, so I made a couple one for her and one for myself in soft cotton string, £1 for 4 balls, and i think it took a couple to make a pot.

 bargain don't you think? 

The shell one is mine and the flower one was for Fiona, she liked it that much is keeping it as a bag for her and now I have another one to make hehe

have fun, shell stitch cushion is calling me today. x
