Psst! I Think Spring Is Nearly Here!

Psst!  don't  hold your breath ....... but ....... its beginning to feel a little bit like spring around here! Yipee!!!! We are on our second day with some sunshine, its amazing how a little sunshine makes me feel more energetic and happy. 

This pot of daffs burst into bloom overnight - spring is such a special season.

The weekend was a bit of a washout in the Kimbles household, we had lots of powercuts due to a storm that we caught the edge of. One of the joys of living in the country with overhead power cables.  Still I managed some crafting, after all I couldn't get on with much else - ironing, vacuuming - shame!!!!!

I have used up some spare yarn to make a few more squares for the SIBOL blankets that Sue is making. 

Some of the squares are just straightforward grannys, but I have included three more special ones.  The first one is

for Sue to add to her own keepsake blanket, the second is an intarsia square

the second piccie is of the back and you can see where I wove in the two colours as I worked the square, you could use separate small balls of yarn as it is quite fiddley to do, but I really like the outcome.

The third square is the most special of all - made by Michelle, my daughter who, as you know has just learnt to crochet and really wanted to add a square to the SIBOL blankets ....... so here it is

So at the moment they are all being blocked on my ironing board then they will be winging their way to Sue.

A huge Thank You to Bethel of Bethania for giving me a sunshine award - very sweet of her and I really appreciate it.  However, I won't be passing it on to 12 people, I hope you all understand, but as I still work, my blog time is quite precious and always seems to take me much longer than I think, plus the extra time I like to spend checking out other blogs and leaving comments. So I hope I won't have offended anyone, especially dear Bethel!! Mind you, I haven't even worked out how to get the picture of the sunshine award  onto my blog!!!!  Maybe I should stick to hook and yarn!!!

I will post later in the week with an update on the sunflower rug and show you some decopatch which I was inspired to try by Lucy , I'm finding it relaxing and quite addictive - I keep looking for things to decopatch over!

Have a great spring day!!!
