there is so much to say that i hardly know where to begin...
a little blog holiday is in order i feel, not for too long...
just some time...
to make space for sewing...
and for sending mail...
to write daily in my journal again...
and to observe the change of the season around me...
if my gorgeous sister were to start a blog it would definitely need to be a food blog... i neglected to mention that the sixties hors-d'oeuvres in my last post were her handiwork and tasted delicious in a retro kind of way... as you can see they looked fabulous on jackie shapiro french bull platters, take a peep at what they look like here and here...
and a bamboo hook...
what's a girl to do when the local mega-craft store has every size crochet hook but a 4.00mm... understandably i just have to drive over to threads and more to fetch a lovely japanese bamboo one (all the time repeating to myself that i will not even glance at the habu yarns or the new jo sharp book... yeah right!)
meanwhile the love affair with crochet continues... i'm currently working on the round string cushion from simple crochet by erika knight...
my mum crochets beautifully and after reading this post at show & tell
i decided it was time to learn... though it has taken a while to get used to the technique, i'm now taking great comfort in working small simple pieces... bath mitts of string and this cotton wash cloth, a gift for a friend...
