Spot the difference!

 

Did you spot the difference? (apart from the difference in lighting and camera angles)

This is the difference..

520 ends sewn in and cut off. I know lots of people prefer to do it as they go along but I find that bowl full of cut off ends very satisfying indeed once complete.

Most of the squares for this blanket have been hanging around in a box for the best part of a year ( see post from last May   where I first showed the stack of squares ready to be made into a blanket) but as I’m currently on a self imposed craft purchasing ban as part of my crafty challenge,  I’m trying to finish up outstanding projects. I did decide to make this blanket bigger than was originally intended so I have added more squares and had a play about with some of the colours to get the effect I desired. This blanket is now ready for joining and bordering which I’m hoping to get finished over Easter as its to go in Little Miss’ new room once we have swapped rooms and put her in what was the spare room/ craft room. She loves unicorns and rainbows at the moment, hence the very bright blanket. I’m really hoping its something she’ll use and treasure forever.

Fuerteventura 2019

It has already been a month since we came back from sunny Fuerteventura where we spent a week at half term. It already feels like such a long time ago but I didn’t want to let it go by unrecorded as who doesn’t want to see pictures of sunshine and blue skies when we’re still struggling through  the tail end of winter to serve as a reminder of what’s hopefully just around the corner!

I won’t write a lot about it except to say that we had a lovely time with two old friends (as in length of friendship not age! Lol!) and a great time making memories with Little Miss.

What would valentines day be without a barbecued love sausage?!

A week seemed like hardly enough time away but it was a very welcome break from the winter!
