Labours of love for both my boys

Image
My boys quilt is finished at last, all ready to wrap. it was a labour of love and my heart went into every stitch. He loves a nice blanket so hope fully this will be his new favourite. Snapped a pic of him in his Mummys hat reading his school book. Am looking forward to a peaceful Christmas with lots of pennypinching tricks up my sleeve. Also managed to finish this for my darling son and his wife, hoping they love it as much as everyone else does.

I have just finished a throw for my son and his wifes new home. A couple of my friends had done this pattern and I rather liked it so gathered together the yarn from my stash and bought an extra ball of white and I was away. I am really pleased with the effect  and am now looking through the bags for some green to do one for my daughter. I had a stall at a charity craft fair on Monday at cafe Logo's in Salford. Sadly not many people came throughthe door but I sold a doll - the cream Victorian girl in the photo - and had a lovely time with my friend tracy and all the lovely stall holders and organisers. I also had the best cup of carrot and lentil soup I have ever tasted for £1.'When life throws you lemons you make lemonade' as they say. It was lovely to get out for a few hours and be in good company
