More Hexagons.......

Helloooooo!!

How are you all doing?

Well, we really have been having a lot of cold and overcast days up here in the Northern Hemisphere!  Not that I am complaining, but they really are not good when you try and take pictures!!!!

These are the new colour way hexagons and as you can see..... you can't get the true colour!

The photo's came out either too dark (these are not completed and I have only tucked the ends in so it's not too messy! Hehehe.)


Or....... too bright!!!!!!!!!


Although...... I did manage to catch this hexagon in progress and it is almost true colour, but still a tad bit off!!!


I've been trying to complete a couple a day, so that I can get this project finished before I start a new one, as when I last counted........ I had 7 UFO's!!!!!!!! (Un-Finished Objects) That is truly terrible!!!!!! 

Still, on the bright side, I have plenty to keep me busy!!!

Well, must dash....... got lots of work on the commissioning side to complete and I have to do that!!!

Until next time....

Progress

Helloooooo!

I've just popped on for a sneaky five minutes to let you know that we have been busy,busy,busy!!!

I've even managed to do the next set of colours in my project..... here's another sneak peak....


I am using all sorts of colours, and hexagon mixes, I just need to try and randomly plan how to put it together!

On the christmas creation front, the choices have been very cute and sweet and kept the girls occupied.  They have been that engrossed with their christmas projects that they have hardly noticed that miserable wet weather we have been having......

Mind you, in comparison to the US, our weather has been very mild and I hope everyone that pops in occasionally on here is safe along with their friends and families, my thoughts and prayers are with anyone who has been affected.

Until next time, stay safe everyone and see you soon!!!

Hugs and Best Wishes

Deadlines!!

Hello Everyone.

I hope you are all keeping well and busy with your creations!  

Sorry I have not been around much, but I have a few deadlines that need to be met, and unfortunately blogging is not one of them at the moment!

I am hoping to be back sometime next week, with lots of bits and pieces that I haven't quite got around to showing you yet!

For now, I'll leave you with these little snippets........







Enjoy!

Until next time.....

Hugs

The Return!

Helloooooo Everyone!!!!  

It feels like years since I was last on here!! 

Well strictly speaking it is!!!!!  

We have had a really busy 6 week school holiday break, and both Bean and Peanut are extremely excited to be returning to school this week!!

Whilst I have been away, I notice that a few more people are following me!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I hope I don't bore you too much and that you enjoy my little world of rantings and what knots!

I should hopefully be back to normality by the end of the week, where I can update you on what's been happening, including an update on the mystery holiday that we went on!!

For now, I'll leave you with a little sneak peak of some hooky that I have been doing..... well, part of it :-).



Enjoy! and I'll be back soon with some updates!

Ta Dah!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I am terribly pleased with myself, as I have managed to finish my Japanese Flower Scarf!!  I am utterly and totally happy with it, but I must say that it became addictive......... and I want to make more of these gorgeous flowers!!!!

I just need to think about colours and what I want to make next......... hmmmmmmm...........

Anyway here are a couple of picture's of my completed scarf....... It does still look a bit messy, as I still need to block it.  




I will of course show it to you once I have blocked it, because as many of you know, things just lay more orderly when they are blocked and they do look finished! 

o-o-o-o-o-o-o

I have also been making a bit of progress with my African Flowers which I previously blogged about here ........


I am finding these very slow, not because they are difficult...... no ..... in actual fact they are very easy to make!! But because I am using really fine yarn and a 3mm crochet hook, so my hexagons are a lot smaller and all the ones pictures above would only just cover a small cushion!!  But I will persevere, as I have promised to make both bean and peanut something for their new bedrooms.

The next challenge I will face with this particular project, will be how to lay it all out...... but that will all come together properly in the end, as I do have a couple of rough ideas sketched and noted down, but as I've been making more of these, I keep changing my mind...... 

Well, I have a number of things that have been rushing around my head and I need to get them down into some form of sketch or note....... so until next time...... have a creative time!!

Slow Progress!!

The progress on my contribution for the girls rooms has been very slow..... due to a mixture of things.  I've enclosed a sneak peek of what I have been doing, but not that much of  peek that you will be able to guess what the end result will look like!


There have been some additions with the colours.  I will reveal more as soon as I am able to!!
