Ahhhh my lovelies, helloooooooooooooo!! Never meant to be gone so long, can't beleive my last post was a whopping seventeen days ago?? Anyhow, this is going to be mighty short and sweet, I just wanted to come and say hello and to let you know that I am OK. I've been through a weeny bit of a low phase in the past fortnight but am back on the upward curve now I think. Nothing major, just my life being so incredibly full, so very much to be done each and every day just to keep us all ticking over.
Only another couple days until the weary Little Peeps finish school for the summer, we are planning on spending Friday in our pyjamas, golly gosh I am almost beyond myself with excitement at the prospect. I'm hoping (with fingers and toes sweetly crossed) that during the summer hols my Little People might be persuaded to care a bit for their Little Brother from time to time, leaving me free to blog a little more often. I am quietly hopeful that our summer is going to be a good one for all concerned.
And on that jolly note, I do need to go and check on my sleeping Little B and go make more coffee. I'll be back again very soon with a rather giddy ta-dah post as my Granny Stripe blankie is ohsoverynearly finished. I am hugely thrilled with it.
Sending lots of love to you all around the globe, thank you for thinking of me ♥

ps just a quick reminder about Ravelry ..... Attic24 has an ever growing presence over there, and I do try and bob in most days. So when I'm not in Blogland, I can generally be found over in Ravelry, I know many of you are already there, but for those of you who aren't, do come and join in the fun xxxx
Lucy please can you tell us how to do the adorable tiny granny squares you have pictured as your 'stash', they are lovely and I have looked everywhere for a pattern for them

Hi from Utah, I am wondering if you will share your yarn choice for the ripple blanket. Would you be able to share your source? thank you and Happy Summer!
Posted by: Vikki | July 21, 2010 at 06:23 PM
Hi Lucy...do you recall what size hook you used making Baby Bump's ripple blanket with Minnow yarn? I'm making one and have used 4mm and don't feel it's "right!" Just curious and enjoy your summer break.
We visited Skipton, York, etc in April and loved, loved the area, so much so, that we are planning a return visit early next year.

So glad you're OK - don't comment much but follow you daily and was wondering if you all down with some seasonal 'bug'. Fraid it's TOO HOT for anything to do with yarn but did see a couple of ideas to use plastic carriers to crochet a bag! Take care & enjoy PJ day. xx

I've been checking in, disappointed to see the same post, and hoping that it meant you were out, enjoying our lovely British weather (mewh)... Glad to see you are on the up!!!!

Welcome back! I joined Ravelry last night, hopefully I'll be posting a finished (cot-size)hexagon blanket soon. I'm typing one-handed as owner of said cot is asleep on my right arm. Babies are fun, aren't they? :-)

Hello Lucy :-) Like many, I was wondering if you'd ever find time again to blog your gorgeous mind! I have been popping on ravelry so got some Lucy-fix, but still; not quite the same ;-p. Been in your shoes not so long ago with 3 little ones, but I would NEVER have been able to do a quarter of a third of all you do! Hats off, Lucy ;-D Take good care XOX

Oh! You're back! I'm so glad.
I'm loocking forward reading you again.

If you ever need a chat?

Hello Lucy, so glad to see you are back and with such a lovely flower to start the day too. Yes, you deserve a pj day....hope you enjoy it. With hols nearly here for you, the time to chill out a bit will be bliss.....good luck with that. Must admit , did miss you but like all your Attic 24 cyber family, I can understand just how lovingly demanding,bringing up a small family can be.We all are thinking of you, whenever we might be in the world.
You are not alone, we love you lots. xxx

Have a lovely holiday. My kids went back to school yesterday after two weeks off. (Australia, so a winter break for us). We slothed in our pyjamas as well, most mornings and enjoyed the downtime. No rushing to school. No packed lunches. It was great.

Lovely to see you sweet uplifting spirit here again, Lucy, and ... to tell the truth, also a bit comforting to realize that I am not alone in having ups and downs, and not always being able to post a blog, even when I might want to.
Best wishes!

I just found your blog...you are so talented! I can't wait to see your granny stipe blanket when finished. The view from your attic window is breathtaking! Makes me miss the country life I used to know. I've been looking for a new post for several days now. I really enjoy reading about your day to day life. Have a wonderful day.
