      One of the projects I have started, a

      blanket with these colourful circles,

I’m going to need about 105

of them…..

      I am one for colours matching, but

      I just took one look at the picture

      below and felt I must be daring and

     try something new, with bright and

    soft colours…..

 

This lovely blanket pattern is from a book called ‘hekel nog lekkerder’ by Karen Adendorff.

Favourites…..

 

My favourite blogs at the moment are

http://attic24.typepad.com  I love the colourfulness, the great ideas that makes my list of ‘to do’s’ to ever increase, and the friendly day to day life descriptions.

http://thequiethome.blogspot.com/ Tina’s blog just has this calming effect on me, I love the way she enjoys making her home, comfy and welcoming for her family as well.

http://countryrose7.blogspot.com/ Ashley’s blog reminds me a lot of when my children were young, how I enjoyed making clothing for them, and being creative amidst all the Mummy chores. Ashley is having a giveaway for her 100th post, Congratulations! Go have a look.
