In the Kitchen #Etsy

I was away over the weekend visiting family. We were so busy going out and about that I didn`t do much crocheting but I did still get some done.
I was playing around with a new idea that I kept starting and taking out.
When I got very frustrated I went back to the blanket I am making. Using the same stitch but varying it seems to have created a wonderfully textured effect that I really love.
I am making it in white with a pale pink panel down the middle. I am so pleased with it so far that I shall make some more and refine the pattern before writing it down and taking step by step pictures.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

I`d like to think of a special rhyme
but sadly I`m running out of time.
I cannot think of anything witty
not even to make a little ditty.
Here I sit almost half asleep
for a while yet I will keep
working away, to be catching up
constantly reaching for my cup.
Very soon I`ll go to my bed
and rest my very weary head.
Tomorrow I`ll be up before the dawn
just hoping for a pretty morn.
It always sets me up for the day
there`s not a better start, I say.
A pink and red luminous sky
setting alight clouds up on high.
Hoping the day won`t be grey
like the one we had yesterday.
Each and every day is a new start
to enjoy with an open heart.
Take time to stand, watch and see
nature`s morning gift to you and me!!














Hope you enjoyed todays lovely display of creations that are kitchen related.
Thanks for visiting, please come back soon.

Indigo #Etsy

I was surprised to discover that I haven`t done Indigo before, not on it`s own at least. I have obviously had individual indigo items in blogs. Can`t think why I didn`t think of it, I think it looks great.

I am away this weekend visiting family, without my hubby as per usual. He stays here and keeps the home fires burning, as they say. Well he goes to work anyway and is glad to avoid the non stop talking we do as we catch up on the last few weeks since my last visit.
It`s a lovely time away and I enjoy the train journey, just sitting relaxing watching the world whiz by the window. I also enjoy the ebb and flow of people too.
Some clearly working, others ambling in no hurry, others racing along without a moment to spare. Then there are others like me, relaxed but brisk wanting to get to their destination but not in a manic hurry.
People are always so interesting. I enjoy talking to lots of different people.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

I will be visiting family, I`m going away,
to Milton Keynes, like a mini holiday.
Hubby stays here and goes to work
doesn`t do for both of us to shirk.
I`ll be talking a lot, are you surprised?
It is mandatory, please be advised.
Just like the laughing, lot`s of that too,
I have to say, I`ll be missing all of you.
It always seems strange, I must say,
no computer work for more than a day.
I will be back early Monday afternoon,
I`ll have such fun it will seem too soon.
Please keep coming to visit my blog
even though I`m not here to do the slog.
I`ll miss making up lots of rhymes
although I sit here blank, a few times.
When that happens I just walk away,
then I come back and know what to say.
Please visit my shop and have the odd view,
because these creations are made for you!!
