Hello. I've been meaning to get on and post about my latest project all week but it's been half term here and the little people have proved to be very distracting, which has been a good thing...

 I have a very exciting post today :) Inside Crochet Magazine are celebrating their 50th issue and have very kindly given me a fabulous prize to give away here on my blog...

Just before Christmas I was kindly sent some myboshi yarn to try by DMC Creative World. I'll admit I was drawn in by the story of the founders, Thomas Jaenisch and Felix Rohland, who caught the crochet bug whilst on a ski instructor exchange to Japan...

Happy New Year :) I'm excited for 2014, as always I have lots of ideas but before I start I wanted to share some of my favourite crochet projects from 2013...

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas. We've had a lovely few days with friends and family. I've enjoyed having everyone at home together so much. As always the days leading up to Christmas were hectic. The storms have made travelling hard as roads have been flooded. But it's been nice to have an excuse to hole up inside - I'm looking forward to catching up on some festive TV and all the blogs I have missed reading this past month. 

Hello. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you may have already heard my extremely exciting news. But for those of you who haven't (and to record it for me - you see I'm still pinching myself) I thought this news deserved a post of it's own...

It's starting to feel a bit festive around here. So I'm really excited to share this guest post from Interflora on how to create this beautiful vintage star Christmas wreath...

Hello. It’s suddenly got very cold here. We’ve been spoilt with a warm autumn so far but I feel winter is fast approaching. With this cold weather my mind has been occupied with blankets…

Hello - We're celebrating the fact that half term has finally arrived. I think we are all looking forward to a week of no routine and lots of doing nothing much at all - I was almost relieved when Rob told me the weather would be bad this coming week! As usual I have been working on lots of different crochet projects...

Hello. I feel like the past few weeks have passed in a blur; my days have been full of work, crochet, illness and the everyday dramas such as lost school shoes/jumpers/coats and forgotten appointments/lunches/PE kits - I'm counting down the days till half term already ;)

But amongst the chaos, in that precious hour before finally falling into bed, I've been working on the sweetest cardigan for Lulu...
