Alsorts

I love these flowers, I had some years ago but after a very wet winter I lost them, it will be great to have them back in our garden. The scent is fantastic and really does smell of chocolate. 

This blanket is now a good size, I will do 1 set of each colour, finishing with the green, which will make it 45 inches long, perfect for the cot. With the left over wool, I should be able to do another 1 or 2 rounds of each colour on my big granny square blanket. Every time I pick it up it feels like spring in my hands. 

 Will's cot covers are looking good together.

  Sorting my very small yarn stash, these should go together well.

My dear hubby drives mini buses a couple times a week for a local community service, mainly taking disabled, elderly and school children, to clubs, day centres and school. On Thursday he took some ladies out for the day, having to spend over three hours at the site, so I went with them, it was a Market Garden, I was disappointed with the tiny garden section, but the shop, bakery and butchers were good. There were loads of shoe and clothes shops, most of which we passed, but we looked at the sale in Edinburgh Woolen Mills, we both got a couple of items, the prices and quality were too good to pass.
Will slept over last night, he was good and slept through, woke at 6.30 this morning, after a good breakfast and a small play he is having his morning nap, I will wake him at 10.30 if he is not already awake. Mummy is picking him up at 11am, they are then out for an early lunch.
My sewing is going well, still not able to show my finished items, they are all for Will's 1st birthday next Sunday, so photo's will follow.  I love my sewing machine and I'm very happy with fabric, scissors and an idea in my head, I can work happily without a printed pattern, most of my skill I got from my mum, we would work together and she encouraged me to make my own clothes, I made my first skirt at the age of eleven, from that point I was hooked.
My crochet is fun, I do it most evenings, I found the grey and pink mix yarns in my tiny stash, I think they should work well together, I am going to make another granny square blanket, they are so easy to make and very useful, Will already loves the first one I made, so a second bigger blanket would be useful. Once I have used these balls of yarn, I only have bits and bobs in my stash, I will be looking for some sock wool.
