I'd like you all to meet Gumball.






He purrs a lot and now getting used to the bucket loads of attention!

walking all over the keyboard!

Emerald Statement Bracelet DIY!

I love emerald.
Not just because it's my birth stone.
I love green especially the bright shades.

So I made this!


So although this isn't the real thing, this color and gem is lovely!


Don't you agree?


It's a simple construction but if you need help, just let me know!


I added a small round bead at the end just to finish it off.

  
Have a great Easter everyone!

Granny Square Top!

Now who doesn't think this top is adorable?


It's looks hip and retro but each to their own right?
It could be updated by changing the colors and I'm thinking it would be a breeze to make!
So if you're interested, here's the diagram.

Granny Cactus Flower Cactus Flower

I'm on grannies craze at the moment.
Can you tell?
I didn't know when it was going to hit me but they are so pretty and can be mixed and matched for what you want it to be. 
I saw this granny square and thought I'd have to share it.




I hope you all agree it's a pretty thing.
I found this lovely creation at Bigu Handmade with a full tutorial with photos to help you along!

Kata - free crochet square pattern

I haven't really had a chance to get back to my normal "roll".
Juggling night shifts in the hospital and school runs and the never ending chores that presents itself just when I thought I'll be able to sit down and have a quiet time with my wips.
But life hasn't stopped me browsing for more projects to do in the future!

Today I found Kata.


The endless possibilities. Afghan, pillow cover, bag, coaster and so on and so forth.
I can't wait to try this.
I hope you make something beautiful out of it.

Philippines Vacation Officially Over!

Hi everyone! I apologize for having been MIA for the last 5 weeks.
I will be showing you why.















See, I couldn't resist her. She made me do it. :-)

These are a few of the hundreds of photos I've taken whilst out in the Philippines.
My family can't have enough of the sunshine and the blue skies.
I meant it when I said I was sorry but these photos makes the regret bearable ;-)

 I can't say I missed the winter weather here but I missed my crochet!
I didn't bother bringing out any with me as I fully intended to be mostly horizontal whilst out there basking and refilling my vitamin D supplies! 

I'm hoping to be back to my normal swing of things very soon so please join me in exploring the joys of my life with my family, my kids, my crochet and all the rest that makes me feel very blessed!

Hope you have enough...
