Yarn Along

This week I have been hooking cushions using chunky wool and a 7.00mm hook.  I finished one with Cath Kidston tiny rose buttons to coordinate with a throw I had made earlier in the year for a wicker chair in my craft room.  The second one is going to be quite plain and sit behind the pink, somewhere to sink into for sheer luxury.




 
I have just finished Just one more day A Memoir by Susan Lewis and have been browsing another gardening book.  This time Growing Food by Anna Pavord , a free gift with Grow Your Own Magazine, which was a subscription gift to my husband from one of our daughters.  A gift that keeps on giving in more ways than one.  I found the planting plans really quite useful and some of the recipes are a delight.  It is certainly a book than you can dip in and out of which is what I am doing.

 
Joining in with the yarn along Ginny at Small Things.  Have a great week.

  5. I love the buttons on the pink pillow. We have no luck growing anything here. Just a few tomatoes. Looking forward to seeing what your garden produces.
