My Latest Trick...
I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration.

Ooh I'm getting excited already!!! You did make me laugh with what you said about Keira-I can't stand her!! I find her pout really irritating!!

ReplyDeleteI did read on one blog that the CK crochet blanket was of poor quality by CK standards and badly made too !!!!!
I always eat gingerbreadmen in twos,so sad to die alone !!!
The book stats are amazing I read lots of books and have since I was four so I must have read well over their estimate of 500 or so.
As for Christmas,I started shopping months ago,I just love it.
