Blogtoberfest Day 5: I love my Granny

I received a HUGE suprise when I dropped into Tinniegirls house last week.

This beautiful pure wool granny blanket (which I wasn't expecting to be finished until next winter), was all packed up, ready and waiting to come back to my house!

It seems that she'd kept it a big secret that she was still toiling away in the background, sewing in all of those yarn ends. I can only imagine the number of hours that went into creating it.

The colours are magnificent. Just what my loungeroom needs to add some much personality and warmth.

I just couldn't stop taking photos of it hanging in the sunshine...

Thankyou so much Cathy, I love love love my new granny!

Go East

The Thornbury Craft Bonanza headed to the home of Hoppo Bumpo yesterday for a crafternoon filled with scones and jam and cream, chocolate cake, really bad jokes, and lots of laughs.

Bec even managed to fit in a trip to the oppy on the way, just to make me insanely jealous!

I made a little progress on something red.....

....but the most super exciting thing is that Tinniegirl has nearly finished this beautiful snuggly granny square rug which is for me and my couch!

I can't wait to inject a bit of colour into my lounging area.

A huge thankyou to Liesl for being such a wonderful host for the afternoon - can't wait for the next one!
