Friday Chat Day

Hello friends

Happy Friday!

How has your week been?

My week has comprised of highs and lows which is 

probably quite normal in everyone's week.

Highs:  Crochet, calligraphy and doors!

Crochet - 

I received my very first commission!

I've been asked to make a mustard throw for a grey guest bedroom.

The pattern has cable sections that actually looks like 

knitting but it is US crochet.

I think I may have bitten off quite a bit here so I'll be 

watching a lot of YouTube videos.

And look at the size of that hook - 10mm - it's big!

In between I've been working on my Mushroom Dune Blanket,

I know this pattern off by heart now so it is handy to 

take anywhere.  If you like crochet then be sure to follow me on Instagram,

I post a lot of crochet there! 

Calligraphy -

As mentioned, I started the Blink Lettering Better Brush Drills,

a freebie course for 7 days.

Really good - the course, not my calligraphy skills! 

Cor it takes some practice. I'm determined to do it but it may take

some time (and practice).

Doors -

Is it possible to get excited about new interior doors?

In my world the answer is yes! 

Especially if you've been waiting 19 years for them, yes 19 years!

When I moved into my little VT (Victorian Terrace)

we temporarily put some second hand doors on the bedrooms and 

bathroom with the intention of putting handles/locks on.

It never happened - typically of these things it got pushed down

the list of things to do.  Finally this week I had new interior 

doors fitted with actual handles - we all just stood and stared for a while! 

Lows: Poorly Mum!

As I'm writing this my mum is still in hospital,

we are keeping fingers and toes crossed that she will be home

at the weekend (especially as it is my Dad's birthday).

She's been on a lot of antibiotics in the hope that she does not need

surgery and it may just be doing the trick.

All the family have been going to and fro the hospital 

except Bella and she misses her.

So what's ahead for the weekend...

Can you believe I'm still sorting the cabin?

I'm probably not being as speedy as I could be, I'm enjoying discovering

forgotten crafty items and having a little play.

Talking of discovering there is plenty of pre-loved dies popping up 

on the website daily, so if you are after some elusive designs at 

bargain prices be sure to take a peek here.

Another week wrapped up and fingers crossed for 

more 'highs' next week - the legal safe ones! 

Take care friends, have a lovely weekend 

and thank you for stopping by.
