Afternoon my Lovelies!!
A quick posting from the Attic today as I'm feeling a little bit droopy. Don't be alarmed, I'm not unwell, not sad either (far from it), just very low in energy is all.

But I could not let the day pass without popping in to send you my heartfelt love for all your fabulously generous and enthusiastic BB comments. Last I looked there were a hundred and seventy comments on yesterdays post...wow, that really is a LOT of World Wide crochet-love!!!!!! You are such sweethearts, and I feel quite overwhelmed and emotional to tell the truth.
Thank you all, so very very much.

I also want to quickly update you on the Dorset Cereals Little Blog Awards, you may remember me mentioning it a short while ago?
Well thanks to you all, I did indeed win the award for July, with a staggering 750+ votes. I was amazed, truly I was :: so many of you taking the trouble to do that for me, it makes me want to cry with gratitude.
Thank you all, so very very much.

So....with BB off the hook what's next I hear you ask?
Well I'm continuing to crochet my Little Squares cushion cover (above photo taken whilst hooking at the park this morning).
I'm also planning/designing a couple new things :: a new scarf, and a new shoulder bag, and am very excited about both.
And then I expect blanket #5 will begin in the Autumn, in time for some fireside snuggly-hooky action as the days shorten and the weather cools. Bliss.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing my Tiffin recipe, ready for you to make yourselves a little weekend treat....so hoping to see you then.
Toodle-oo for now...

hurrah! so glad you won, well deserved award & good timing for BBs completion eh! 170+ comments may seem a lot but think how many others will have seen BB's unveiling & not commented but still be bowled over by your scrumptious creation.... Natalie xxx

First time I comment on your blog. Have been following it for some time and just wanted to say that you gave back my love for crochet. Just did my 222 hexagon. Congrats on the award, you deserve it!

i hear you on the low energy, i am lying on the sofa feeling drained watching my cooking programs. congrats on winning well done! the cushion is coming along nicely :o)

[Julie]

Wow all those comments! I do love that blanket, can't wait to see whats next.

[Sylvia]

I was led to your blog yesterday by TwistedKnitter and I was mesmerized to your blog all day...went through every page. It made me feel so happy..all the beautiful colors and helpful instructions. Your BB is beautiful...I read that you got 33 skeins of yarn, but does that include the border? Looks to me like you would need more of one color to make such a nice border...I am going to my local yarn store today to get wonderful yarn to make your bag...hopefully will find a great substitute for DB's Merino aran!! Many, many thanks for your informative, beautiful blog.

[Marie]

Well done! I had a feeling you'd win as you had loads more votes than anyone else nominated. But you really deserve it, you are obviously touching the hearts and minds of many people out there in blogland, myself included. Hope you feel rosy again soon.x

Congratulations Lucy! You so deserved to win. I can't even tell you how much your blog inspires me - you've taught me to crochet, which I now love to pieces.... maybe even more than knitting!! (shhh though, don't tell the pointy sticks!)

You've also inspired me to brighten up my dingy little yard with flowers, which even right now give me enormous pleasure as I sit and look at them out of my window, and tomorrow you will teach me how to make tiffin! I do so enjoy seeing your new posts pop up, and I frequently potter back through old posts to look at the pictures. Definitely a most deserved winner :)

Your crochet is such a work of art! I never get tired of seeing pictures of it. I am trying to teach myself how to crochet. Mine does not look anything like your beautiful things, but I am keeping on with it. I just love all your colors. Wonderful! Like a nice sweet treat. Thank you so much for sharing.

ahhh HOT BEADS! I used to use those all the time when I was a kid, great fun. Have you tried stringing them on shirring elastic to make bracelets? (without melting them I mean!)
