Blooming Flower

Good Morning Everyone!!!! A special warm welcome to all my new followers... feel free to look around and I hope you enjoy your stay!!!

Well...... from previous posts, you will know that I like having peeks at other blogs....... but I especially like Lucy's Blog!!! She is sooooooo very inspirational...... the only trouble is I sometimes loose hours, looking at all the wonderful things in blog land!!!!

Anyway, back to Lucy's Blog........ I wanted to make a cushion cover and nothing out there really did it for me until I spotted This!!!! .

It was love at first sight........ so I thought I would test it out, with some scraps that I had lying about.....

Isn't it scrum-diddly-umptious?????? 

I am truly in love with this, and so are bean and peanut, which is good in one way, but bad, as they may try and steal it for themselves!!!!!  Anyway, I have agreed that I will make them one each, but they will have to be patient and try not steal mine in the meantime!!!!!!!!

So................ on that note, I best get cracking!!!!!  I'm starting to gather UFO's, which is not good!!

Have a wonderful week!

Japanese Flowers.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Well, apart from getting ready from graduation last week, I did manage to squeeze in a bit of hooky time........ but only a bit!!!!

I fell victim to the Japanese Flower pattern!!!!!

You can get hold of the pattern by going here - It is Motif Book 4.  I was fortunate enough to borrow a friends copy!  It is a fabulous book and the diagrams weren't as difficult to figure out as I thought they would be! I am using a pink and purple variegated yarn, which is super soft and I decided I would make a scarf and not the whole shawl thingy!

This is my progress so far....... so........ keep your eyes out for a ta-dah moment!!!

Until next time........ happy creating!

Better Late then Never!!

Goooooooood Morning!!!! I hope you have all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend!!!

I have had a fairly quite weekend..... for me!!  (Apart from ferrying the girls to swimming, parties and horse riding!)

Well, last week I made apologies for being late with my post ......... the reason for this ........... and it is a very good reason...... is ............. I graduated!!!

Yip.......... I finally got to wear my Mortarboard and Gown!!!!!!

Here's a picture of me in all my finery!!!

I was soooooooo very proud and sad at the same time!!!! 

I was very proud that I had finally managed to put myself through University, with the help and patience of my lovely hubby and wonderful children, but very sad that my wonderful Mum was not able to see me graduate, as she  passed away in the middle of my second year.......  But then I was all proud again, as I had managed to complete my degree whilst I was going through the turmoil and sadness of losing my Mum, and I knew that she would have been very proud, as I am the first in the family to go to University and get a degree!!!

So...... last week, I was dashing around, making sure garments were ready for everyone, and that I had all the tickets and paperwork that was required!! 

It was lovely to see everyone, but strange that we had completed our degree's 6 months ago, and we were only now just having the graduation ceremony!!!

So.................... that is the reason I did not post anything!

I have also been doing a little bit of hooky work, but more about that in the next post, which will be sooner, rather than later!

So until then........... have a fabby week!
