Friday

well this is the last post until Saturday
......off on a few trips out and about. My kids are staying home and looking after the house (they are grown ups )....we are going to York for a few days on a coach holiday....wish I could take my crochet with me...but I will find some nice yarns and ideas while we are away.
I have started more cowl neck scarves and some beanie hats for when I come back, so watch this space.......
It is hot today and the sea is sparkling....Devon is just about visible from my window but there is a lot of heat haze out there.
Dh just bought me a nice cuppa , so I will enjoy that....
followers, please don't desert me...i shall be back next weekend with lots of ideas and info....

Thursday

Here is one of my freeform purses.....it is made from a mixture of yarns and fibres and is soft and scrunchie. It has a dc (sc to the US) lining.

I have this listed in my folksy shop

I love doing freeform crochet because there are no patterns and you just choose a yarn and go in whichever direction you feel like. It is also a way of using some of the smaller balls of yarn that fibre artists accumulate !!

It has just started to rain....nothing new for the UK

here is a little girl's first shopping bag....it is made in a glazed cotton which I think is synthetic....(someone gave me the yarn...so I have to guess!!)

The bag is about 7" square (ish)...and I hope to list it in my folksy shop at the end of next week.

It was fun to make because it is full of pretty Spring colours .

It is nice outside again today and the sea is sparkling....in fact there is a heat haze over the sea and Devon has disappeared !! I need to get my hook working and making more items. I am going to stock pile things for the Christmas rush...says me...living in hope.....only 6 months away you know !...why is it that the winter drags and the summer rushes by?????

Time for a nice cuppa......

Tuesday

well here is what I have been busy making today. I also made a purple one both of which will be listed in my shops soon. I won't list until the first monday in July because my pc is going to have some work done on it and I don't want people trying to buy and wondering why it hasn't been posted.This is a cowl neck moebius scarf which can be just worn around the neck or even pulled up over the head like a hoodie....

In the winter time, I make them in all colours and I am already thinking of making them and stock piling them ready for the hoped for Christmas rush....The price will hopefully just be £5 plus p&p which I hope is a reasonable price. The one in the picture is in a soft and pretty cream coloured acrylic....... I have lots of other items that I have made this week, all waiting to be photographed ready for listing....

Monday

well Folksy are replacing my listing fees for the cardigan that the person didn't want to buy, so that is good. I managed to make another dolly cot bag which I will list in a few days.....this one is in cream and navy.
I also finished another cream moebius cowl neck scarf/neckwarmer.
Now I need to sort out my stash again so that I can see what to make next......
I shall be missing on here next week as I am having my pc overhauled......so if you are reading this , please don't desert me..missing from next Monday and .I will be back next Saturday....in the mean time....back to my crochet......

Sunday

not a happy bunny today.....I had an email to say that someone had bought the cardi that I showed a picture of on Friday...I was thrilled....
then i got an email to say that the person concerned was only showing a friend how to use folksy and that they hadn't completed the transaction....so NOW as well as the disappointment, I have to relist it and possibly pay another listing fee for it.
aaaargh......

Saturday

Had a nice lie in this morning and then sorted out some yarns. My next project will be a granny square handbag....not sure what size it will turn out yet so it might be for a little girl...we will have to see. I have some pretty yarn in spring colours that will look nice.
I might not be able to start it until tomorrow as we are having friends round this evening....
It is a lot more cloudy today but still warm....
I hope everyone else is having a nice weekend
