My latest project isn’t my usual colours

My current crochet project is far from my usual colours , I’m currently working on a blanket that has a Grey,Yellow and White colour palette ,inspired by a post I saw on Instagram . I know this colour combo has been popular for years but until now it’s never appealed to me

Wow I really am rubbish

I really am rubbish at keeping this blog active .
Life has been somewhat mental ,my health hasn’t been great neither has Reuben’s .
Epilepsy still has a firm grip on our lives but Reu doesn’t let it stop him.
Zac is looking forward to going to college in September to study Performing Arts ,and Reu is going to start on his GCSEs pathway including studying Food and Nutrition, Performing Arts and  Horticulture .
I’ve been busy crocheting this year , in fact last night I started my 37 th crochet project since New Years Day, 1 has been frogged,6 are on going and the rest have all been finished - I discovered the joy of using bigger hooks.
Church has been great this past year, I’ve strengthened friendships and made new ones, it’s also been hard losing several dear church members who were friends, but as a church we all learnt so much ,including the fact - no remembering - that we need not grieve like non-Christians but remember and celebrate the lives of our friends , and that we will meet them again in Glory.

Wow it's been awhile

so it's been awhile since I last posted .
Life has been a bit hectic, Reu has been particularly unwell with his epilepsy ,so was in hospital for tests recently.
Crochet has been my saving therapeutic outlet, so I've actually got quite a lot done recently - included  2 scarfs, with another 2 in the process of being made.
Support from family ( both actual and church) has been great- I'm so glad to have such a caring supportive church that is filled with medically trained people who have been both reassuring and helpful , as have all my church family .
My eldest Zac is now 15 - which gave me an emotional wobble - coupled with turning 36 myself recently.

I've decided to make a temperature blanket

I've decided to make a blanket to represent the temperature each day for the whole of 2017. I've picked out my colour palettes and chosen my temperature range. I hope I can keep it going all year

Quickest blanket ever

I finished a blanket today that I only started a fortnight ago

The blanket is made up of 60 separate granny squares, which have then been joined together in 6 rows of 10.  Each square consists 9 rounds , using double knit yarn and a 2:5mm hook.

Working to a deadline was a challenge, it had to be ready before NYE, but I enjoyed it, even if it did cause my dermatitis to flare up 

Wow such a long time since I've blogged

I suddenly thought of my blog today and decided to resurrect it once again

Well it's nearly Christmas- Zac and Reuben broke up from school yesterday- Paul should be finished with work early next week- I've virtually finished my Christmas shopping

Currently working on a single bed sized crochet blanket in different shades of purple - that needs to finished before New Year's Eve - only my 5th paid commission for a friend from school - I'm half way done with the squares so I'm on track

I think this blog goes back about 7 years but I've never consistently blogged - hopefully in the new year this is going to change -as I've got back into keeping a journal as well and blogs normally get kept when I'm journaling too

Loving church life - loving being part of the Sound team - tomorrow night I'm on sound for the Candlelit service - we have another in on Christmas Eve also - it's such a privilege to serve my church in this way and really hope in some small way that I'm a part of people hearing God's word ✝️
