Surprise Visit

I was truly blessed yesterday with a visit from our youngest daughter and her little family.  A last minute arrangement as they were calling in on their way to visit the new arrival.  A wonderful bonus for us.  I was presented with a whole package of gifts including flowers and a wide variety of craft materials for Mothers Day which is next Sunday here in the UK.

 

It wouldn't be a visit to Granny's without some crafting been done.  We had some fun decorating some paper mache eggs and some little bird houses.  Spring is in the air...

 

 

I love spending quality time with them and chatting together as we craft.  Always such a joyous occasion and treasured memories formed to savour at a later date.  A short but very sweet visit.

 

I have finished the infinity scarves and headbands ready for the girls later in the year, a great project for taking out and about as the pattern is so simple and can be picked up and down with ease.

 

 

I have actually stitched the ends in, I must have been too previous with the camera and taken the pictures before they were finished.

 

I have also finished a cushion ready for the nursing chair for Amie, she is back out of hospital and is been visited daily by the midwife.

 

 

It was made using two shades of grey yarn and a set of vintage buttons.  Perfect for the yellow/grey/white colour scheme of the nursery.

 

A start has been made on the singer base, which is going to be turned into a new table for the craft room.

 

 

Finally I am working on a throw for the craft room to give the room a little spruce up for the Spring.

 

 

A zig zag pattern using Arran wool which is not showing the true colour, it has a wonderful fleck running though which goes beautifully with the Cath Kidston fabrics in there.  I have also made a start on labels to make it easier for others to find materials for projects but I will save that for another post.  What are you working on?

 

See you soon.
