Fabric pumpkins and knitted pumpkins.

Hello everyone,

How are you all?
 Weekend is coming and the school breaks up next week so I have a full week to catch up on some stitching and knitting.
Here are a few projects I have finished to celebrate Halloween which is fast approaching here in the UK.

These colourful pumpkins are made from scraps of fabric and I also filled them with Lavender they make lovely decorations around the house.
The pattern for these are from the book Modern Vintage Gifts

designs and patterns by Helen Phillips
check out Helen's blog which she keeps updated regularly.

H ere are a couple of my knitted pumpkins I have made quite a few times for friends, especially the larger one.

Lastly here is a little cross stitch for Autumn

an Acorn Medallion the pattern design is by NeedleKnowledge and Cheryl Fall
I have nearly finished this hopefully this evening.

Well that's it for now and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

bye for now

Crochet baby blanket finished.

Hello everyone,

I hope all of you are well and enjoying your weekend.
I have a few moments to update my blog before making tea. I have been quite busy with family and we have been helping my son to move into his new flat so that leaves a quite house with just Mr C Bruno and me.
However I am going to be a Nana again as my daughter is expecting a baby due next March and you can imagine my Grand daughter is so excited, so that means lot's of baby projects to plan and here is my first finish this baby blanket.

This is the first CTC pattern I have crocheted my daughter has already seen this and loves it.

 I also started a baby hooded jacket  which is being knitted using James C Brett wool and I plan to crochet another blanket too.

You may have noticed my blog posts have been fewer I find it hard to fit in around work and family as must be the same for most of us, when I am off work it is easier to post but in the mean time you can always find me adding new pictures of my projects and anything else I am doing on ,
