Hello, and welcome back to our
small corner.
D here, and last week, Mum talked about several small projects she had finished. I have been working on the brown scarf for a few years, and the pretty crochet flower was just what it needed. However, that was only one scarf that I had started.
Mum tells me that posting a picture on the blog might encourage me to finish this scarf sooner than the previous one.
We shall see!!
Here is my current progress. As you can see, the new WIP scarf
is a lovely shade of blue, which reminded me of the sea.
During this week, I did a framed
picture of some mermaids swimming with colourful fish. It will fit nicely with
the colours in my bedroom when it goes on the wall.
And now it's back to B's corner.
I also framed a few pictures this week while continuing my quest to finish projects. The artwork is by a friend who works a lot with pen and ink, and the felted birds were by a lady at a craft fair I visited in Bakewell last year. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but her work will be displayed in our living room.
A few weeks ago, I saw a lovely little crochet bag pattern here and, with my limited crochet skills, decided to give it a go. I had plenty of yarn left over from previous projects and found some suitable fabric for the lining. The pattern was easy to follow and could easily be adapted to make it a bit bigger. I used some ribbon for the handles so I could use the bag to go out for a meal in the evenings. Project finished :-)
It has been so wet and windy this week all over the UK that it has been challenging to do much outside. I do hope all of you have been okay wherever you live. However, I managed to take a few pictures to show the progress in the greenhouse. These are the lettuce I sowed a few weeks ago, and they can now continue growing in a tomato grow bag.
I also have some baby spider plants, which are doing quite well.
Here is a mummy spider plant with lots more spiderling.
As Autumn is here now, I am cutting out some fabric leaves for a project. It may even be finished by next week.
And that is all our news for this week. Please keep safe if the weather continues to be bad where you are and D and I wish you a great week.
B and D xx
