Almost halfway there with these hexie flowers and

Almost halfway there with these hexie flowers and then it will be on to some other components! I'm going to have to cut some more fabric and templates though, as I'm almost out of this batch. I'm debating getting half of these done and then maybe switching it up a bit so I can take some more colourful pictures 😜 There are some interesting shapes in this quilt and I'm sure they will be challenging to fit together nicely. At least I have my Cricut machine to cut for me as I would definitely make a hash of cutting out the pieces 😂

Today's project is my Equinox block by the wonderf

Today's project is my Equinox block by the wonderful @hooksntales 💜 It's another piece that takes me away somewhere warm and exotic with these beautiful @scheepjes Stone Washed colours. I've completed rounds 1 to 29 so far and once this is finished, I'm going to sew it to a cushion cover so it can be on display 😍 I'm also doing my best not to order any more yarn, but I keep seeing Jen's newest pattern on my feed and it's so tempting!

It's been quite a productive day today! It's the f

It's been quite a productive day today! It's the first day of my break and we were supposed to be heading to Portugal for my birthday at the weekend, but here we are. I'll just have to keep adding a few more rounds to the beautiful Spice Market CAL and dream I'm somewhere else. At least the sun is out though 😜 We were actually in Lisbon this time last year (Can you tell I love Portugal? 😂) and I remember taking a trip to Sintra to see the Moorish influences there and this project has reflections of that 💙 I've decided I'm not aging this year and I'll get to spend my next birthday in one of my favourite places 🇵🇹

I had a lot of fun at the virtual Yorkshire Yarnfe

I had a lot of fun at the virtual Yorkshire Yarnfest yesterday and the theme of the yarn was spring 🍃💐 I did buy a few skeins and I'm looking forward to them arriving 😄 It was such a sunny day yesterday, that I wanted to keep the spring feeling going, so I have a little conveyor belt of flowers from my Resilience in Bloom blanket going on 🌺 I'm also looking forward to a long break from work! I'm in tomorrow and then I have 3 weeks off to relax (also to celebrate a big lockdown birthday, but I'm postponing aging for a year). Happy Sunday everyone 💙

I've been working on the mosaic part of my Spice M

I've been working on the mosaic part of my Spice Market this evening. It's been a busy week again, so it's nice to lose myself in this for a while. It's Friday tomorrow though, so we are almost free!

I haven't done any beading for ages and I remember

I haven't done any beading for ages and I remembered I'd kitted out a bracelet, so today is the day 💜 This is the start of the Snake Charmer bracelet from issue 88 of @beadandjewellery using all the original colours. It's so hard to get the rivoli to show the actual colour but it's a beautiful fuchsia with a blue overlay 💙 The seed beads are galvanized, metallic and shiny 😁 I need to make 6 more bezels and then they will be joined together with these amethyst bicones. I do want to give this as a gift, but I also want it for myself. Decisions, decisions 😜

Good morning Instaland! It's been a hectic week ag

Good morning Instaland! It's been a hectic week again, so I needed a treat and of course @woolwarehouse came through for that 😉 I saw this cute yarn pack on @scheepjes feed the other day - crocheted zodiac signs and they look so cute! I couldn't resist! So, that's my day sorted! Have a fab weekend everyone 💜

Happy Valentine's Day my lovely phone friends 💙

Happy Valentine's Day my lovely phone friends 💙💜💙💜 The temperature finally got above freezing today, so I braved the wind for a run and I've had a relaxing afternoon flicking through my new book and starting the second sock in this pair. I was sure I'd matched up the print, but it's not a match 😒 I'm not frogging this though as I think the actual match will be halfway through the yarn and I can't be bothered with joining and then trying to make that bit match, so we are staying perfectly imperfect 😜 Once this pair is finished, I'll be starting on more involved pattern, and I'm really looking forward to that! Enjoy the last bit of the weekend, everyone! 💐

It's been ages since I did any miniature crochet,

It's been ages since I did any miniature crochet, so I thought it was high time to get part 3 of the Spice Market done! I'm using the cinnamon and rosewater colourway and a 1.75mm hook. These colours really fit in with the relaxing ones I'm feeling at the minute 😍 The snow is starting to settle here and so I'm daydreaming about warmer climes and holidays. I've got some Middle Eastern inspired lamb cooking in my slow cooker too, so I'll be lost in my dreams this evening 😁 Enjoy your evenings everyone 💜
