Just The Thing

There's nothing better than a stroll around a beautiful garden to lift the spirits, last weekend a friend and myself went to visit Wynyard Gardens and I thought I would share the beauty with you.












































I hope you enjoyed your stroll as much as I did which one was your favourite? 

Have a lovely day it's my Loving Hands meeting day so I'm looking forward to it. :)

Something For The Weekend

Just the thing for the warmer weather, these cute little puppets are light, quick and easy to make and all for a great cause too...



I have challenged myself to make at least two of these a month and these are my June puppets.  OCC Barton upon Humber  need lots more to meet their target, the latest total is 5413 bears.

Why don't you all join in and and make a bear or two you can read all about the appeal, find the patterns and the address to send them here.



I hope you all have a great sunshiny weekend. xxx

Now That's More Like It!

This time I stuck to what I know best which resulted in this....



An easy crochet sweater made with Aran yarn



and it took me only five days! It would have been even quicker of course if there wasn't a thousand other things to do in the day.  Just think in the time it took me to do the May sweater I could have made  three of these!


I used poundstretcher Aran which is quite soft and very reasonably priced and an Aldi variegated yarn  which I'm not too keen on but it was perfect for this sweater


You can find the Free Pattern here

I will be linking this to the latest stash-buster party why don't you link your latest stash busting make just click on the stash-buster icon below.



I intend making a hat and scarf with what's left of the yarn at some point. If you can remember I was going to finish a sock by the end of the month but something else has been urgently asked for so the poor sock will have to wait once again. 

I hope the sun is shining for you today it's cloudy but warm here, leaving you with a picture of my favourite rose it's looking beautiful just now and the scent is heavenly.
