A litte ta dah moment

I'm back again! Somehow I am finding a few more windows of blogging time in amongst working almost full tme and being mum and homemaker etc. It feels great to have time to show you all my little makes. I was thinking about why I blog the other day and it's quite a strange old thing really when you think objectively about it. Showing "virtual friends" what you've made and sharing some of your life and happenings to the world. I don't want to get too cerebral about it but I realised that what it does for me and that is, it:

inspires me; encourages me; feeds my need for creativity; enables me to meet like minded people; it's an escape from the stresses of everyday life and generally is good for my mental health and well being... how about you?

So, today a little ta dah moment, I'm am going to show you my finished Japanese Flower Scarf which I started making here having been inspired by Lucy from Attic 24 fame. In total I made 16 flowers from all my left over purple stash.

I crocheted them together 2 by 2 petals

It's rather snug despite all the hooky holes (excuse the rubbish photo of me I had just woken up and there was little light!)

It's long enough to wrap round at least twice and shows off the flowery goodness on your neck like a pretty necklace

I'm rather pleased with this very quick and easy make which will be wrapped up and given to one of my lovely girl friends.

So, now I'm onto my next few projects I've lined up and look forward to seeing all of your makes and happenings. Can I leave you with a couple of photographs I took on Saturday when the sun was merry and bright? 

 
Some old fisherman's boats in Hastings Old Town peeling away in the sunshine, I just love the whole fishing history behind this town and am fascinated by the old boats sitting on the pebbles wondering what adventures they have been on in their lives

Have a wonderful mid-february week xox
