A few things

Well it's been a few ups and downs since my last blog post....
On the 10th feb our gorgeous nana passed away...she had been dealing with dementia and it was just her time to go...I got to say goodbye to her which I'm so glad that I did and I know now she is at peace...
I miss her heaps but remember her for who she was... One thing that I will always remember was how creative she was doing so many crafts... Her main love was knitting and I'm so glad that her creativeness has passed on through generations with my mum being very creative also and I'm so glad that I also enjoy being creative with my new love of crocheting (inspired by my nana)

One of the things my pop gave me that was my Nan's was all her wool and craft boxes...I had fun today going through it all remembering all that she did in her life...

I also got given one of her diamond enternity rings and a silver chain with her star sign charm on it...her star sign was Sagittarius which is the same as mine both of us with December birthdays so it was nice to have it as a special reminder of her....kaitlyn was very lucky and was given her wedding rings and we both got some gorgeous tea cup and saucer set that she had....so lots of very nice things to remember her by.

So other then that I have been doing lots of crocheting ...I have started a shoulder wrap for kaitlyn she loves the hunger games so I'm attempting to make her the Katniss shawl that was worn in the movie.
So far so good this being my first attempt at crocheting clothing.

I'm also still completing my mood blanket again I'm a few behind but I'll slowly catch up soon I hope...
Oh and another project I attempted was to crochet some hand towels that I gave to my mum. This was another thing my nana used to do...
They turned out exactly like hers....

And today I received my first package for the autumn yarn club I have joined...I saw this on Instagram and decided it looked like fun it's through a lady here in Australia named Jodie from jellywares... And WOW the package I received was amazing....


I'm just about to get started on it...don't want to get behind lol....just another project on the go....
Ok best get started this post has been huge so better stop here...
Till next time... Xoxo
