This week has been such a busy, bustly, creative, exciting sort of a week for me.
Nothing momentous, just lots and lots of ideas and plans and creations beginning to slowly emerge from the ric-rac Tangle of my mind.
The Wobbles are less wobbly today than they were at the beginning of the week too. Pheww.
A lovely few hours was spent at the cafe this morning, hooking away with my lovely knit-and-natter ladies. I had to stop my crocheting mid-round (how I hate having to do that!) as time ran away with me and it was suddenly time to leave...so as soon as I got home, I settled on the sofa and finished off the square I was working on.
Thought you might like to see progress of the Baby Granny Blanket so far.........
Twenty-one squares, and I am LOV-ing-IT.
I've also been working on something new this week....above is a little sneak-peak of it, I'll show the rest very soon. I am LOV-ing-THAT too.
And yes, I am LOV-ing-THAT as well.
Can't wait to show you my new projects, ooohhhhh I am having such Creative Fun with myself this week!!!
Two bunches of Dahlias are in the house this week too, not one but two.
I could not resist buying two bunches (they were £1.50 each), bringing hot pink and bright red flowers together to sing out loud in a jug on my table.
And finally, a snap of my chaotic downstairs living space, the Way It Is today.
The back end of the room (the dining area) is in quite a terrible mess as you can see....but plans are afoot to begin a big sort out. I am beginning to succumb to the overwhelming Nesting Instincts of pregnancy, and am feeling optimistic that it will be a Good Thing.
So that's the Way It is at Attic24 today.
Messy, chaotic, creative, colourful, happy.

Not messy ...just a happy, comfortable lived in
home:-) Who wants to live in a show house anyway.
Looking forward to seeing the new projects.
Take care,
Alison.

Not messy at all - you should come to mine if you want to see messy!
It just looks like a lovely, homely, creative environment!
And it's YOUR home, that's what matters most. x

It all looks jolly darn good to me Lucy despite the chaos though it's good your starting to detangle.
Love the look of your 'secret' projects,

I love that new blanket - just right for us big babies too I think! It's the colours, the softness the whole smooziness of it really. It's really lovely isn't it? An ultra cuddly blanket it seems to me. I can imagine it as an illustration in a child's picture book.
Will love to see what else you are doing - I do like those little snippets you tease us with. Make us wait I say! (But when we do get to see there's more of it TO see, which is all good I think).
You are obviously having a busy and creative time. Hope you are enjoying it all.
P.S I really like your hearts garland strung across the room like that. What a warm and friendly room. Homes should have "stuff" in. Lots and lots of it!

Love the babyblanket and the sneeky peaks of the rest. Some cosy chaos I must say!

All your projects looks yummy! And, swoon, dahlia's...are my favorite at this time of year.
Posted by: Marianne | October 15, 2009 at 06:06 PM
It doesn't look messy, a house is a home not a picture book! Comfort is the key. I just love the colours in you blanket.
Posted by: Julie | October 15, 2009 at 06:06 PM
OOOOOOO Lucy you`re such a tease! Your home looks so homely which is what it should be. I keep looking out for Dahlias, yours are soo bright and cheerful.
Can`t wait for the next project reveal.

TWO new projects - A double tease! Can't wait to see what you're up to - and those dahlias are gorgeous! Glad the wobbles aren't so bad right now. Am trying to imagine you with Nesting instincts at full pelt - you are such a wonderful homemaker already!

Lucy ~ I am loving all the little projects that you have on the go ~ Thanks so much for the sneaky peaky. I am glad you are feeling less Wobbly today ~ I've had a very wobbly day myself and have spent a couple of hours in A&E and have now unfortunately got 4 staples holding my head together!!
I love the way it looks at Attic 24 ~ Messy, chaotic, creative, colourful and happy ~ the best kind of cosy home to have. :O)

That Bump24 Blanket is going to be a bestliker (well... equivalent for bestseller :P ) it's coming out great!
