Is it Spring Yet?

Happy Easter! It's a deceptively sunny day here, the light is streaming through the window (or it was, the cloud has just come over as I type- typical) and it looks like it could actually be warm . Nope, it's still very cold with quite a breeze blowing. Come on Spring! I'm going to be optimistic and say that it's just around the corner.I can't wait to get back out into the garden again without dressing like I'm taking a trip to the arctic.

I've been keeping myself busy crocheting a baby blanket (nope, nothing to declare!) which is for someone to give to someone else. I am doing it as a favour as I really do enjoy it and am having the cost  of wool covered. I have sooo much left to do!

Look at all those ends that need sewing in! ugh! I think that is the worst job. Still, it's fun and is keeping me warm at any rate!

I've been listing again on Etsy, including one of the glass pendants I showed last week. Hopefully I will list two more during this week. The photos are links to my shop :)



I hope everyone is having a great Easter and, of course, Handmade Monday!

    Ends are definitely the worst! Sometimes I do it as I go, others I leave them. Not sure which is best really!

    I crochet my ends in as much as possible as sewing brings me out in a rash! When I do have sewing in to do I save the ends that are long enough and am chain stitching them onto a "memory ball" - a super stripey ball of yarn with bits from all my makes :-)

    It's lovely to see there are still some traditionally made baby items made in this day and age. I'm sure your hard work will be truely appreciated by the recipient. Looks great

    Lovely looking baby blanket - I can't crochet, but can imagine that the sewing in of the ends would be the least favourite bit! Lovely Etsy listings :-) Simmi x
