We are having such a wonderful summery day today. Well actually the weather might be that way but in reality I've been busy vacuuming the whole house and helping make trays of cookies. Funny how I always end up finishing the baking!
Anyway I thought I'd just pop in and show you my new creation. Look, it's crochet too!!! Thank you Maria for your inspiring stripy blanket to get me back into hooking for a while. Have you met Maria before? She makes such wonderful things. Pop on over and visit her if you like, she'll love to have you over for a while.
Pattern from Lucy, Attic 24 of course. Never thought I could do something this cool! Loving the summery colours. It was so easy to make but it's probably a little baggy on the jar. When I was filling the jar with water, No.2 asked me why I didn't take the cover off first so it didn't get wet. It's just far too sensible really! And yes it did get wet. Who cares in this heat.
Gosh it's so very hot, about 28 degrees C here now and we're sweating away eating iceblocks and anything cold we can get our hands on. Hey do you want a sneaky peek at our new bathroom? I ADORE it! It's so tranquil and beautiful, as is our bedroom. I could live in our bathroom it's so pretty. Loving the little tiles below the mirror. We still need the fan, lights and towel rail to be installed and then it's all done. Then there'll be whole room photos.
I made these cushion covers last year and finally added one more colour last night. I do love them and must get them finished for the winter. They will add much needed colour to our lounge in the cooler months.
Well that's it for today. I hope your weekend is going nicely too. Thanks for stopping by! Oh, note the bigger photos? Much prettier.
