It’s been a little busy to say the least, my parents have now completed on the sale of their property and moved in with us, I’ve got my new craft room, well half of one anyway!
The whole house has been turned upside down, but it needed a good organising anyway.
I’ve carried on with a little bit of my manual madness but find I struggle with counting stitches when I’m tired, and boy I’ve been tired! I’ve not carried on with anymore if my star of wonder, and I really need to, because I’ve got my new sofa!
The grey, white and lime would look really nice with this, I think once I’m back into a routine next week I can get stuck back into it.
So I’ve had to stick to some easier things, things that don’t take so much concentration.
I’ve used up the rest of my James c Brett flutterby and made a nice cushion for my daughters bedroom, It’s just a simple granny square but the James c Brett makes it look lovely
I also nipped into Aldi today as I keep getting told they sell yarn, ok so the selection isn’t huge but I managed to get a really nice grey super bulky chenille yarn with a bit of a twinkle to it, it’s nowhere near as soft as it looks, but I thought it would look nice on the sofa for the dogs to sit on, I got 400g for £3.49!! I reckon it would make great cushion covers too
I went to my aldi and got some bright green dk and that chunky soft baby yarn in a peachy colour and blue. I was abit disappointed in the colour range but still a bargain!

I got the cream sparkly last time and still haven’t used it! Your grey blanket looks lovely so far. 😊

It’s a little rough to touch, I don’t think it’s something you’d want to wrap up in, but it’ll look nice on the sofa for the dogs to sit on ☺️

That’s a shame. I considered making a jumper dress for my daughter to wear over tights and a long sleeved top with the cream but I will have a rethink as the reviews aren’t good at all. Such a shame.

Ooooh no she’d be itching like mad, I think a cushion cover or something would suit it, it does look nice and I bet it’d look lovely in cream but it’s not soft 😞

😐 cream is not a good colour with two children about the place, maybe I will just sell it and buy some non scratchy wool 😂

Luckily I’m nowhere near a hobby craft to go and have a squish of it and get tempted to buy any. (It would be nice to be nearer one though!) Thanks for the recommendation, I do like James C Brett yarns.

After all of the rearranging, which looks great in the picture by the way, and your parents moving in, you definitely needed some relaxing crochet time! Love the pillow:)
