Today :: my hyacinth flower began to bloom, revealing a pale, delicate pink.
Today :: I watched out the window as the snowflakes swirled and danced.
Today :: I uploaded (21) photographs and began writing a tutorial.
Today :: I got rather giddy over this bowl of colourful weeny granny squares.

You are so gifted. I love everything you create and want to make them all. I've recently moved from the Mojave Desert in southern California and have read your blog about your family, home, town, adventures and of course creations, as an escape into cheerful color and imagination. Thank you so much for kindly sharing with us.

Lucy, I love what you are doing for Emma & I & the Comic Relief doll project. This picture of the hyacinths makes me smile, Spring is just around the corner and Hyacinths, narcissi & crocus remind me of my lovely departed friend Elspeth Thompson. I know she would have loved your blog if she was still with us.
I hope I get to meet you.

Those tiny squares are so fun - just a bowl full for decoration is cheery, let alone the anticipation of what you can create with them!

Dear Lucy, my lovely friend H introduced me to crochet just before christmas and i have been totally obsessed with it ever since! You could say i am hooked. I have been following tutorials on Youtube on how to work the different stitches, learnt about the US and UK terminology, a little bit about the different types of yarn, although what really bowls me over is the diversity in colour that is available, I love it! I have found you a couple of weeks back and very much like your style of writing and your wonderfully warm attitude and love of life's little pleasures. I am a French mum of 2, girl of 12 and boy of 9, and like you feel really lucky and happy in my everyday life. So I wanted to say a big thank you for posting your sunny comments and flowers and beautiffuly talented crochets projects! Keep up the happy.

hello Lucy, I cant wait to see what you plan to do with those little granny squares. I enjoy your blog and your outlook on life so much, even if it is just a glimpse. Have a great day! Im goin to learn Tunisian crochet. I found you tube tutorials etc on it and have already bought a afghan hook for it. I crochet already but am excited to learn more. Thank you for sharing all you do.. Leah

I just found your blog and cannot stop looking and reading! Your crochet is gorgeous- you are truly an artist, as well as a wonderful photographer. I am rather new to crochet but would love to attempt that amazing snake you made a few years ago. I've been searching your blog to see if you ever starting selling the yarn you used but haven't located it. What is the brand name of that yarn? I also hope to become good enough to make crochet the gorgeous ruffle flower pillow.
I hope this is a good way to send a message.
Than you,
