Well Autumn is well and truly upon us, and it's getting chillier, which can mean only one thing, HOOK OUT and back to crocheting!! Oh how I have missed it during the summer. Anyone that knows me knows that summer is my least favourite season. I like being cosy, cosy. cosy and relish the Autumn and Winter months.
I have just finished this lovely shell stitch blanket for my mum. It's an easy stitch that is quick and relaxing to work up. It took me about 10 days over most evenings. My mum has always loved browns and cream colour pallettes. I think of coffee, Lattes and chocolate when I look at it.I hope her dog doesn't claim this one like she did with the last one I made!

I also made Lulu a red house coat to keep her warm in the winter months.
She loves it can't you tell? She does get shivery and it will keep her snuggly when we get a really cold snap. My lap is still her fave place though even though she doesn't fit anymore! Here she is hogging the stripe blanket.
Well I'm off to sunnier climes for a week, destination- Cyprus and really looking forward to it as haven't had a holiday abroad for 8 years, so really going to relax. Sadie cannot wait to go on an aeroplane and is so excited she can barely sleep. I'm not a fan of flying and the nerves are starting to kick in.....Think I will take my rescue remedy if I'm allowed?
On my my return I will be holding two Halloween cake decorating classes with children which will be lots of fun. I love Halloween and all its pagan origins/symbolism.
Hope you are all enjoying and embracing Autumn. xx
