Hello my lovelies, good to be here.
I've been trying to write my July calendar post these past few days but eh-hem, it's not been working out. I've uploaded some super pics, but unfortunately the words are stuck and don't want to flow forth so I'm a bit scuppered with it. I suspect this mental blockage is due to general tiredness, I'm having a busy time with the Littlies at the moment. Plus I am mad crazy obsessed with my current hooky project which is whispering to me every spare moment of the day, teasing me with it's delightful colours and curves, begging me to come play with it. I sit at the laptop to write my blog and all I really want to do is go smooch with my crochet. So the smooching has won out. Which is precisely as it should be, right? Hooky first, Family second, Blog third. Or something like that.
Oh my. Love love love. Deeeeeeelicious.
Did I tell you how madly in love I am with what's on my hook at the moment? Do you like what you see?? I promise (hand on heart) that I'll share more if it with you in a day or two when there is more of it to show. It needs to grow a little bit bigger. But my goodness, it's a terrific little something I've conjoured up here, you're going to love it.
July is still here for another eighteen days so I will bring you my monthly seasonal ramblings at some point in the near future.
But in the meantime I can tell you the following ::
- The sun is shining and the sky is blue.
- I am in total love with the above images (boom boom boom goes my heart)
- Pimms is THE drink to drink in July.
- My Mum is home from hospital.
- I'm having a hair cut on Saturday.
Hooky love to all, see you all soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I know what you mean when you say the words aren't flowing.. sometimes you just don't know what to write!
Can't wait to find out what your new crochet make is..! Lovveee the colours.

Hi Lucy - I have just discovered your blog - OH MY! What an inspiration you are! My hunt for a "not too granny" blanket project to make for my girls has lead me to your little Attic - and I have to say I am SO excited at what I have found.
I am going to have a go at making a hexagon rug following your great instructions (I actually managed a sample last night - amazing myself with the end result). I am rushing out today to get supplies so I can get started.
So I just wanted to say "thank you" for sharing your knowledge and love of crochet - thank goodness for the wonderful world of blogging!!

First things first - so glad to hear your mom is home. Can't wait to see that "hooky" thing. Reading your blog has made me take out my crochet hook again and it is so much fun! I'm from one of the smallest states in the U.S. (Connecticut - but also very close to New York City), and I have never heard anyone refer to it as "hooky", but I just love the way that word sounds, so much more delightful than "crochet". From now on, it's "hooky" for me too! I'm going to spread the "word"!
Posted by: Marsha | July 13, 2011 at 09:53 PM
Oooo how lovely that looks. And so teasingly tantalising too. But especially great to hear about your mam. I hope everything keeps on the up, up, up!
Love and stuff xx
