Things that are making me happy...



...working on my latest blanket whilst keeping cosy with the wood burner on...




...flowers always make me happy and these roses are especially pretty...




... I got a new crochet book and I completely love every project in it. It's honestly the nicest crochet book I've seen in a long time. It's called Crochet Home and is written by Emma Lamb. There are so many beautiful projects and I have plans to make several of them! I love the excitement of a new crochet book with lots of inspiration and possibilities...




... A lovely long walk with my family at the weekend. I love Autumn walks...




... I enjoyed some sewing at the weekend and made a couple of simple skirts for myself. I forget how much I enjoy other crafts like sewing as I just want to crochet all the time! It was good to do a little sewing for a change though...


So lots of happy things! What little things have made you happy lately?



Thank you for all the lovely comments lately, I really do appreciate them. I will try to be a little better at answering the questions I get asked...promise!


Wishing you all a lovely week :-)

  6. Sunny days and getting the wallflowers and winter-flowering pansies planted made me happy last week. Looking forward to a trip to Windsor Castle with an old friend is making me happy today.

  7. I love the look of that book too. I've seen projects by Emma Lamb in magazines and they're always pretty and inspiring. Will definitely get that one. Hope you're having a nice week. I'm happy to see the sun shining this morning (it was grey and wet all day yesterday) and I'm looking forward to making apple cake with Lulu later. X
