Hi Lucy
I am now becoming desperate for a crochet bunting pattern. I have found others but none as gorgeous as yours!! I am about to decorate my daughter's new bedroom and would love to add your bunting to her bookshelves. I have only very recently started hooking and am truly addicted. I am not yet as wise as mummy and grandma and would never be able to fudge up a pattern of my own. Please please please could you try and post a pattern for us. On skimming your comment feeds, i see that others are also in awe of you and waiting paitiently!!! xxx

I know this isn't entirely relevant...but I found this pattern and I remembered the granny square jacket you had posted a while back...here's the link for a free pattern of one:

I don't think I'll ever tire of your photos of flowers! They make me happy every time!!!

I love when you show pics of teacups with tea, please show more and I'd love to know what it is you're drinking too. I almost never get a warm cup of tea nowadays, mostly because I have a wild or breastfeeding baby around me all the time so I just let it cool off for a time when I have the time to get a couple of sips of and to make it more safe in case it will end up all over us, soaking wet is inconvinient but doesn't hurt when it's cold.
I use to watch your pictures and just sit for a while and smile and dream about what you're having, it's just like I can feel the smell of it. Right now I'm working on a big mug of cold black orange tea, quite tasty.

Hi there, I've just been sent in your direction by a fellow crocheter (I think thats a word!) as I am currently trying to teach myself crochet (Tee Hee Hee!!) Anyway the blog is gorgeous and I was just wondering if you could recommend anywhere good online for purchasing yarn? Many many thanks, Justine x

Such lovely colours in your crocheting and an adorable baby as well! Hope you're having a great week.

Sweet. I can relate to reheating the tea/coffee 3 times. I like the little spotty house case, too.

My baby is to big for his britches. He doesn't like to cuddle anymore. He just wants to use me as a barka lounger! I will take any "cuddles" I can get. Enjoy them!!!

Lucy,
I have a silly question, what yarn do you use the most often. Your colours are always so pleasing, bright and vibrant.
I have crocheted my 1st hexagon today (this was my first attempt to crochet).
Your blog has also inspired me to put down my two knitting needles and pick up a hook. I finally did it today.

It seems you had a lovely day! You wee baby is so cute, I just want to eat him (I mean that in a nice way). I am completely in awe of your crocheting ability. As of next week, I am going to teach myself!

Hello there I am desperately looking for help with a crochet pattern which I simply do not understand. Can you spare me a few minutes to help? Thanks so much.

Looks like a Monday of the most perfect kind!! Can I come join you? Flowers and sunshine; color and cuddly babies. Sounds like a little piece of paradise : ) !!

You Always have such gorgeous colours of wool.Would you mind doing a post (or post script) on what type of yarn it is.I live away from any wool shops and never have a chance to browse amongst balls of wool.It's quite difficult to buy on line without knowing what I want, exactly.I would be really grateful if you could tell us what make/company your lovely colours are from.Thank you

Hello Lucy,
I just found your Blog and I´m deeply impressed about your creativity and your wonderful home!! I scrolled through your`"Blog-life" and saw all the beautiful things you crocheted! I love each of it. What sort of wool do you work with?? The colours are amazing and it seems as if they aren´t too "heavy". I always found cotton to crochet with but that´s a bit too "thick". Everything I crochet looks heavy and a blanket of that quality isn´t really nice to snuggle in. Do you know what I mean?? Would you be so kind to tell me the name of the wool??
Have a lovely day and many greetings from Germany!!
Sabine
