...Heather from my little red suitcase! Congratulations Heather, I’m so glad you won – please email me
your address and you will have your new blue WIP bag!
Thank you everyone who entered my little blogiversary
giveaway – I had the most entries ever! I wish I could send each and every one
of you a WIP bag, but for now I might have to put together a tutorial or kit so
you can make this at home...hmmm, things to consider...
It’s all go in our house today as we get ready for family visits
this the second week of Easter holidays. Darling Husband has the week off work,
and I’m looking forward to time all together as well as some much-needed time by
myself. I love my family dearly, but every now and again I really do need some
solitude to recharge my batteries. It doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, so
when it does, I savour every moment, even if I’m just by myself riding a train!
I’m sure many of you can relate...
A quick peek at some pretty yarn before I go, a Ricicles Shawl update:
Pretty pretty pretty! I've been enjoying a little hooky time on the garden bench. Um, the eagle-eyed of you may have
noticed another pink basket?
I am so enchanted with my other upcycled pink basket that when I happened upon this long-forgotten little
beauty, the spray can came back out on a sunny morning! It is the perfect size for a few balls of yarn. Or perhaps a few chocolate eggs. Or both.
Enjoy these next few days, I’ll have some stitching news to
share soon...
Happy crafting!

Love the pink basket, such a lovely idea. Have a great family week.
ReplyDeleteHello Lovely Chrissie I just loved your giveaway and well done Heather for winning. I do hope you are able to put a tutorial together for us Chrissie. I know what you mean about solitude - I find that I do need some time to myself to think and ponder about life - I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. Sending you big hugs and loves

She will love the bag, I will pop over too. The shawl is fabulous. I am doing shawls with my intermediate crochet group next term. I said I would only do it if they all did the same one at the same time otherwise my head would spin off with some shawls, some on fingerless gloves, some on a blanket etc.... Jo xx

Your shawl is looking lovely - you can never have too many baskets, pink or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Heather and oh how I love your shawl Chrissie, you've made it beautifully, and oh those colours are so wonderfully soft and gentle!
ReplyDeleteI am one who needs 'down time' and can't, never could, survive without it so I understand your need perfectly!
Why do you think it is that I can picture pretty little pink baskets filled with gorgeous yarn, scattered all around your home! And why not, they are perfect for the job and really look the part - very Chrissie!
Enjoy your family and I do hope you can sneak some precious alone time for yourself lovely!
Lots of love, Joy xoxo
