I am so desperate to be able to crochet, i really want to make some granny squares to be made into baby blankets. Hopefully i will get there soon!
I have also made some bunting for the fifties kitchen
For a first attempt im quite pleased with the result and i have some more triangles cut and ready to sew for Fins new bedroom. He has now moved into the completed cowboy room, as he likes to call it, and im really pleased that he loves it so much. I was a little worried about putting him in a 'big boy bed' but have been pleasantly surprised that once in bed he actually stays in bed! I had visions of him playing with his toys all night but thankfully it has turned out well. I have not yet taken pics of the completed cowboy room but i will do soon.
This of course means that what is going to be the nursery is now a blank canvas. Im waiting on my next scan, when hopefully i will find out whether its going to be painted blue or pink!! I already have some ideas for the room so now just have to wait and see.
The thrifting season has begun and i have had a couple of lucky finds already
This lovely Brexton picnic set was only £2!! Its missing the flasks but i just love the floral plates and the blue cups. Will be great for the vintage caravan!
Im also loving these tins for just 20p each. The collection continues to grow!
I leave you with a picture of Finley with his grandad Col-Col, performing at Col-Cols 50th Birthday party!! A great night had by all, Fin certainly enjoyed being part of the band!!! x x x
Happy Thrifting! x

Bargain tins, well done! And the picnic hamper too, normally they cost loads.
Shame you're feeling so tired, I found it ten times harder second time around and I'm not going to find out if it gets worse on the third! Glad Fin is staying in bed for you, my two are total pickles.

Hiya
I was just bloghopping and came across your post. The crochet bit in particular sounds very familiar I was desperate to learn how to crochet and like yourself bought dosens of books and spent hours online and just could not do it.
Anyway what I wanted to say was it was the lovely lucy over at attic 24
