The Day After the Wedding

So today has mainly involved returning/coming down from the wedding. We are all very tired, but happy because it was such a fantastic day, or two days I should say. The children were amazing in their roles as flower girl and ring bearer. So proud of them. I cried. A lot. So much so that my false eyelashes came off during the service. I don’t wear them often at all so not surprising really.

Anyway, as the point of this blog was an excuse for me to share things that I make, here is a photo of a freshly-washed blanket I made a couple of years ago. I got the idea for it from a blog called Attic24 (http://www.attic24.typepad.com/). I basically used up lots of wool from my stash. I have been on a decluttering mission for what seems like forever and want to continue to craft without spending a penny.

The colours were just a random selection of yarn that I have had clogging up cupboards and boxes and drawers. I still have tonnes of yarn so I am making another blanket, but this time it is a giant granny square.

I have only been blogging for three days, and already my head is buzzing with all of the ideas I want to share and write about. It has also given me itchy fingers, all I can think about is what I am going to make next.
