Spring Crochet

 Time for a bit of crochet colour today, i think.....and also time to wish you all a very happy month of march.....and the start of spring................it is lighter and brighter here (still cold but improving a bit every day)............

 ................i have been sorting out my yarn stash this past week.......finding some gorgeous forgotten about balls of wool which i have begun to knit with....more of that in a later post.......and i also found some small balls of yarn and some crochet circles which needed using up........

 ...............i made the circles into flowery granny squares.......i do love colourful granny squares.....they are what inspired me to learn to crochet in the beginning just a couple of years ago.....and i still love making them and seeing the effects of rounds of different coloured yarn together :)........

 ...............i used the join as you go method to create this piece of crochet below........

 .............i even blocked it..........it is not going to be another blanket or even a pillow.......

 ................it is going to be a bag............i hope to show you it completed soon...............

 .................this week's flowers are tulips........a gorgeous mixed bunch.............

                                          .................lying on the kitchen table..............

 ..........and in the white 6 jug which is so simple and one of my favourites to display the most vivid and colourful flowers........

 ..................i also had a lovely surprise gift of a big bunch of yellow tulips which are making my sewing room so sunny and cheery.................i found my little crochet pin cushion in my yarn tidying up session......some of you may remember it from quite a while ago......it was nice to see it again so i am using it along with all my other much loved pin cushions.....just cannot have too many :)..............

 .............in my crochet catch up i must show a peek of my marshmallow blanket below......i can't think of another name for it as the pink squares always make me think of the marshmallows my grandchildren love so much, and the name has stuck for now..........i love this blanket and i only need to add a few more granny squares and then i can start the stripy border that i am so looking forward to creating..............

 ..........lots and lots of plans and projects to keep me busy with both yarn and fabrics as we move into march.......lots of gardening to do too.......below is a new spring time ck mug filled with tea and a plate with two little macarons to enjoy while crocheting my new bag together...........perfect :).............

..........thank you for visiting my little blog space here lovely readers, and for all your sweet comments....it is always wonderful to hear from you................wishing you a happy crafty week and a wonderful sunny start to march..........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxx
