So excited

I have just checked my blog and I'm so excited to see my post worked I thought I would ignore the fact that my font is stupidly big and you have no information on me and show you some photos taken whilst walking on the foot of the Brown Clee

And washing on the line, just because I like it
See you again soon x x x x

I created this blog a couple of months ago and it has taken me until today to find the courage to create a post!! "Who will want to listen to what I have to say and look at what I like to make?" is the question that has gone over and over in my head, so anyway here goes.

I live in Shropshire and love to make things, knitting, sewing, furniture restoration and more recently crochet as a result of attending classes with Jo at http://joeveryday19.blogspot.co.uk/. I was already  able to do a basic Granny Square and create blankets but never thought I would be able to master reading a crochet pattern, so after a couple of lessons with Jo, who makes things seem very simple and fun, I am on my way to making a lovely shawl with The Women s Institute Soft and Silky yarn, purchased from Hobbycraft on a 3 for 2 deal as I do like a bargain.

Now I will confess to another concern of mine that has made me procrastinate about beginning to blog - I am not very good at IT - so now I have worked out how to attach photos of the projects I have been working on lately I am going to be very brave and press the publish button.

So thank you for taking the time to drop in and hope to see you again soon x

March was a busy month my niece and my son's best friend both had baby boys so I made them a comforter each

and a knitted bear to look after them as they sleep

It was also my Mother In Laws birthday and I made her a fabric covered notebook and photo album to keep photo's of my first grandchild also born in March, I told you it was busy....

Here are some photo blocks I made for my daughter ...

a little late as she married 18 months ago but it was a nice present to give her for the birth of her baby

Here is the teddy bear I made for my grandchild (Ididnt know it was going to be a girl at the time), it is in Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino in duck egg blue and white, when I knew it was a girl I added a crochet heart to make it a bit girly.  Also here is the blanket I made for her, now my daughter is a bit fussy and could not find a pattern she liked with stars so she designed one!!!!!! 

A close up of Teddy, his face looks a bit odd here but I assure you he is quite nice really

And finally my Elise shawl (it has grown quite a bit since this photo)

and my wool in a basket because I just like it........

My next confession, I created this post last Thursday evening and somehow lost it when trying to post, I was so upset I could not bring myself to try again until now after a lovely day in the garden and quite a lot of Rose wine.

So bear with me please, I promise to work hard on trying to improve my IT skills.

Bye for now
