Flower scarf Ta-dah

Hi all back again i have finally finished

 my Flower scarf.

So here it is the big

TA-DAH

 

I just love it it's so bright and

colourful i think it will bring a 

touch of brightness to those 

dark winter days.

The inspiration for the scarf came

from Lucy over at Attic 24

she makes the most wonderful things,

that's where i spotted hers.

Not being able to find a pattern for the 

flower anywhere on the Internet, (i think it's called 

a Japanese flower), i looked at a close up

of Lucy's and made my own version up.

It wasn't hard to do and i soon had

it cracked. I don't want to tread on 

anyone's toes copyright wise so I'm not going to 

publish my version, but here's a close up of

one of the flowers if you fancy 

having a go yourself.

I used Sirdar Snuggly DK yarn as it comes

in a variety of colours is reasonably priced and

is so soft to the touch.

The hook size i used was 3.75mm and each

flower came out at around 10cm wide.

I made 46 in total and had them in 4 rows of

13,12,11,10.

Woo hoo I've got the telly on 

the Olympics and we have just won

two more golds in the rowing  well done

Go Team GB.

Sorry about that i got a bit excited 

then.

Thanks for looking and have a fab

weekend

take care

Summer's here at last

Hi all hope you are well.

What a difference the sun makes, i must say

it's been quite rainy here in the north west,

but the sun has made a bit of an appearance

this last week and all the flowers love it.

They all seem to be opening  up and giving us

a blooming display.

My Lilly's have taken forever to open

but at last hurray one has finally opened and 

how gorgeous worth the wait.

  The Fuchsia Swingtime is one of my favourites

i love the big blowzy flowers and the colours are

just fantastic.

These poppies are just fabulous too and 

free. I don't know where they came from they

started to grow a few years ago and have been here

ever since. The great thing is i just leave them to 

do their thing and they self seed and come up every year.

 It's not just the flowers that have benefited

from the rain my spuds have done well.

I dug up my first batch and got 39 spuds just from

the one plant and ooh they made fab chips.

Beth's been busy too she had a baking day

and made biscuit bears and did most of it herself.

I'm not far off finishing my flower scarf.

It's has taken a bit of a back seat for a while

but I'm going to finish it before i do anything

else. I've got a long list of things i want to do.

I have finally given in and bought a copy

of this fabulous Homespun style book that

a lot of bloggers are oohing over
I now know why, it's just gorgeous.
 There are lots of fabulous photos

and bags of idea's, I'm already buttering up hubby to

make me some shelves for my kitchen for all

my nick naks I've got and yet to buy.

I may end up being cushion mad too.

I wonder if there's a cure for that?

Take care
