We went along to the Scottish Airshow this weekend, it was a really good event. I loved this heart in the sky and we all particularly enjoyed the Blades aerobatic display team - they were fantastic and such fun to watch...
I managed a wee bit of crochet over this weekend as well. I now only have six squares left to make for my blanket! I am aiming to make 144 in total. I'm really trying not to think of all those ends I will have to sew in...
I picked a little posy of flowers from the garden to have on my bedside table and wondered if this might very well be the last of this years summer flowers...
This afternoon was spent on a five mile sponsored walk with my Brownie unit. Everyone did really well and the girls enjoyed picking some brambles along the way...
Tonight I have my popcorn ready and I'm just about to watch the Strictly Come Dancing launch show. It has been a busy but lovely weekend! I hope you have all had a good one too?

144 squares. Made of two colours per square. That's 4 ends per square, assuming you didn't crochet along the two ends where the colour is changed. I will not make the total of the ends-to-sew-in, that would be depressing... I think you are a very courageous lady ;-))))
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful weekend, enjoy your popcorn and show.

ReplyDeleteLove the heart in the sky! x
ReplyDeletelovely pictures! I can't wait to go blackberry picking :) The blanket looks great!! x
ReplyDeleteAre you going to crochet the squares together using a continuous join? That would at least reduce the number of ends.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the blanket - I decided mine was complete halfway through as couldn't be asked to make more squares - only I've come to a halt sewing them together! x
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the heart in the sky!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely weekend. Hope you have a lovely week too.....

I still have the Strictly show to watch on the iPlayer - yay! I love Strictly. That first photo of the heart in the sky is fab. Have a great week Marianne. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice weekend. I love popcorn, it's my go-to snack. Your squares are so pretty, I can't wait to see your blanket.
ReplyDeleteThe photo's of the airshow looks spectacular. I think the blue sky most certainly makes it look extra good!
ReplyDeleteYour granny squares look pretty!
Happy week!

What great pics of the airshow, the heart in the sky looks great, although I wouldn't want to be in the aircraft that made it (fear of flying)! Pretty bedside posy, how lovely to wake up to the scent of sweet peas. Hope you enjoyed Strictly. Have a great week Marianne.

Love the photo of a heart in the sky - would make a lovely print for a wall. Looking forward to seeing your finished blanket!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely weekend and I just love that heart in the sky, what a moment to witness and be there xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely weekend you've had. That heart in the sky looks amazing! I hope you enjoyed Strictly--I did. x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely weekend. I love the heart shape in the sky but I don't envy you all those ends to sew in! Can't wait for Strictly to start properly. By the way, I heard that Channel 5 have decided not to show the new series of Once upon a Time - so disappointed! x
