Crochet bag and some stitching.


I have been busy with my hook! I wanted a bag for my knitting and started to match up fabric for a patch work tote bag,  but I had seen a crochet bag in one of my books. And here it is.. I love the bright colours.  I love crocheting,  I find it so relaxing. June's Country Homes & Interiors magazine has a crochet blanket, plus a quilt.

I am  a magazinaholic!! Friends say what do you do once you have read them, but I read them all over again! I do give them away eventually, usually when they are a year old...here is the quilt. Just simple squares and then ribble free stitched.


And I love these open shelves in kitchens, except I paid a fortune to have my fitted kitchen, so no open shelves!

And I have stitched another motif on my Rosewood Manor Spring Quaker since we came back from our holiday.


So making progress albeit slow... it has been so hot today I struggled to get the cleaning done that was really needed to be done.
Hope your weather where ever you are,  has been good.
Happy days
