The Lily Pond

Good morning!

Hope you have been happy hooking. I've been crocheting my time away with Jane Crowfoots Lily Pond Blanket. As you can see still have a little way to go but i am definitely getting there. Two rectangles and 5 squares to go and then blocking and sewing up. Its a very vibrant blanket and different again to others i have done. Swapped the colours round a bit because i decided to use what was in my stash rather than go out and buy from scratch but i kept to a similar colour ...sort of had to as it was lilies in a pond. Coming out bigger than i realised it would.. couldn't even fit it on my dining room table.


Its been a busy last couple of months with some highs and lows. 
Thing 2 turned 19 and thing 1 will be 22 in a couple of weeks. Other family birthdays as well as Easter in the middle. And now both the boys are home from university. 

The only sad news, and it was very sad, is that our Bob cat gave up and passed away about a month ago. Although we knew it would happen at some point (he was ill) it still seemed to happen suddenly and the little shit has been missed terribly. 

But on a bright note, the sun is out today, quite unexpectedly as forecasters have been saying showers and cloud so its nice to see blue skies and i have an old friend popping in for a cuppa and a catch up before i start work and she starts to weave her way back to Hong Kong again. 

So i will bid you adieu and hope you are all happy 

Will be back when i finish the blanket 

Ta ra for now, Roz x
