I have just finished the first motif of my Stylecraft Lily Pond blanket crochet along designed by Jane Crowfoot. 3 more of these to make before the next instalment in less than 2 weeks time.Although I have crocheted for most of my life I found it difficult to get the tension correct and had to change the hook sizes.

March bags
A busy day finishing off and making a selection of bags. The newest product is a cot tidy they are apparently very handy, the first was not particularly successful but the second worked well. Will have to see what interest there is in them. Also finished Paddington bear who is lovely but not sure who I'm going to give him to, I only made him to try the pattern out.

March hats
Have got the bug for fair isle! Just completed another tam, it is a pity I don't wear them.
Last week I made a number of dribble bibs for my great neice and nephew and a friend's new grandchild, they have been very successful with other parents so I hope they like them. Also made a lot of small bags for the stall and need to have another sewing day this week.

March
Just thought I would post a picture of the daffodil brooches that I have just finished, they make feel springlike.

February 22nd
Well, what have I created this month? I am not sure I have completed anything except a small embroidery but that isn't framed. I have almost finished a knitted cardigan for myself just have the bands and the collar to add. I have started knitting Paddington bear from an old Alan Dart pattern but it is taking forever and the mitred throw that I bought the wool for last month is about a third done . Just remembered, I did finish the fair isle cushion cover, will attach a photo when I have a cushion pad for it.
And the workroom, well I have moved 10 boxes of books , magazines and oddments to the garage but have hardly made an impact, only a mess, other things, like a cold and hospital visiting seem to have got in the way so who knows it might be finished next month!
I now have to think about making new items for this year's craft stall, ente has the time gone?
