Not only is it an act of quiet rebellion, every purchase makes my heart happy ❣️

Cracking out the knitting needles for a change, although the size they say, they're more like tree trunks 😂

Real time problem lol.

On to the envelope border of a test blanket for my amazing designer friend Marissa from Little Green Feather, so I know after this i should finish at least 1 WIP before I start another.......... but will I?

Another little gift made his way to his new home today, a little hedgehog to brighten every day.

Who couldn't love this little one 🦔

I have had THE best weekend in quite a while. It started off at Black Sheep Wools Summer Party with my musketeers Sylvia Montford and Beccy Hodgson, with Craft & Chat hosted by Leanne Tonge who gave an epic athletic performance during the pass the parcel games and finished with sneaky purchases in the craft barn, and then carried on with pizza and Jammy Roo red wine with my bestie Jennifer Holgate,a sleepover and then my first ever baby shower complete with cake and beige buffet for her fabulous daughter who has got to be the biggest red panda fan I am ever likely to meet, and I'm thrilled I can actually share the photos of my gift with you at long last.

Now back to reality with a bump, diet and gym in the morning and try to undo the damage ive done to my waistline lol. Now roll on Yarndale 😂

I'm a bit lacking on woolly wonders to share with you at the moment, I'm either working on test patterns or gifts, but I can say officially it's baby season so don't forget me for your hand made baby shower gifts.

Don't be one of those people giving Tesco baby blankets along with one or two other people. It has happened. Drop me a message and see what I can do for you.

One thing I can show you is a bag I gave to a fabulous lady who I'm privileged to call a friend for one of her bigger birthdays, she's nuts about hedgehogs and her garden so of course the bag had to be themed around that. I love it, what do you think about it.

We haven’t seen this pattern in so long—what a beauty!💙🩵
