...the jam jar of home grown flowers on my table.
...my pot marigolds beginning to bloom at last.
...my sweet peas flourishing with all the rain we're having.
...selecting the last two colours for my ripple blanket stripes (yipppeee!)
...some quiet but frantic hooky time (that was the Very Last Row I was working on!)
...a Sunday morning walk in the sun dappled woods (yes there was a smidge of sun)
...woodland textures, the scent of damp earth, the little patches of sunlight.
...the lush greenery at this time of year.
...the pile of ends that tells me my blanket is so nearly complete.
...finishing up a fabulous sea-inspired hooky make for a Lovely Lady.
♥
Summer flowers inside and out. Lots of exciting hooky time (I'm about to be on The Edge people!). A family walk in the woods followed by cappuccino's and icecreams in the the little cafe. My weekend was full of good things.
Life at this time of year is always very hectic, thank goodness we are now in the last week of school. I am tired, and so ready for a holiday and a change of pace....we go down to Dorset to spend time with my folks on Saturday and I cannot wait.
I'm really, really looking forward to finishing my ripple blanket, I am nearly there!! I'm very excited cos I've designed a new edging which I think is going to be fabulous. I'm also really, really looking forward to sharing some of the things which have been going on a bit secretively in the background of late...the above mentioned sea-inspired crochet should be ready to reveal in a few days as I've mailed it off to it's recipient now. I'm also working on something else mega exciting which I am so looking forward to sharing. Need to do some more knitting for that before I can elaborate, but let me tell you it is something rather new and special that I've recently become involved in.
So much to Enjoy. So much to be thankful for. More soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I knew you'd tame the blanket.

Please don't ever stop blogging!! I love your blog so much. I put it on the computer in the morning and at odd moments throughout my day I treat myself to little snippet of color and creativity from your attic. It usually takes me two days to finish a post and then I wait in eager anticipation for the next one. Thanks for taking the time to post!! :)

Ive just finished my ripple and need to edge it too! The only problem is I dont know how to straighten out the waves? How do you do it lucy?
Posted by: Sarah | July 19, 2012 at 02:18 PM
Your blanket is brilliant.I have a very similar rose in my garden. Did you say knitting? Not crochet? I love your posts but this one ended on such a cliffhanger. Don't leave us wondering too long.
Posted by: Jody | July 19, 2012 at 01:25 PM
Beautiful post. Love the photos.
Posted by: Kelly | July 19, 2012 at 10:29 AM
You've turned us all into stalkers, Lucy! :D
I make sure I come by the Attic atleast once every day! I check during the day - my time and check during the day - your time! - that's pretty much all the time :D :D :D
Lotsa love and hugs from India

I started reading your blog about a month ago - it's wonderful. I am a knitter who can do a bit of crochet. Seeing your projects is inspiring me to pick up a hook again. LOVE the granny squares and your ripple blanket is just pure fun...
What is your favorite yarn(s) to use for your projects? You pick such great colors! Thanks for the inspiration.........
Posted by: Heidi | July 19, 2012 at 04:35 AM
Thankyou for this lovely splash of colour in my day! My WIP is a granny square blanket for my son. He picked the colours-shades of muted blues and greys.Your projects keep me inspired to finish it!
Posted by: Carolyn | July 19, 2012 at 03:34 AM

Lucy, you always make me smile. Your blog brings colour, happiness and inspiration - things I desperately need on a dull rainy weekday in Scotland. Thank you x
