My Little Friend, Jenny Wren .......



I love to see all the different birds that come to visit my garden. The cheeky robin, The noisy blackbirds & the various colourful tits & chaffinches. But I have to say that I have a real soft spot for my little Jenny Wren ! She is so, so tiny & so, so bold for such a little thing.
.
I love to watch her from my kitchen window as she jumps around & between the plant pots & climbs through the trellis work. She doesn't stay long, but visits everyday & is an absolute delight !!!


I am very happy to report that Little Man No.1 is thrilled with his new blanket & asked me if I would take a photo of it on his bed to show you all, bless him !!!
.
.
He also insisted that I take another photo with him & his blanket, how could I refuse. So here he is as pleased as punch !!
.

Bye For now ♥

A Granny Blanket for Little Man No 1. Ta-Da !!!!!!!


Well I said I had some hooky projects to share with you, so here is the first one !




I actually finished this little blanket about an hour ago, & I must say I am very pleased with it ( she says smugly !!! )


It is for Little Man No.1's bed & for snuggling under while he watches telly !! My little men love to snuggle & I am more than happy to oblige them by making lovely colourful blankets.


Once again I have used yarn from my stash. This is a mixture of different DK Wools, I don't have the ball bands anymore but I think most of it is Wendy Gold Award DK & Sirdar Legend DK. I bought this wool years ago from a Knitting shop that was closing down for £1.00 per ball !!!!

I can't wait for Little Man No.1 to see it when he gets back from school, I just need to finish Little Man No.2's now !

Bye for now ♥

I'm Back :-) !! .........
.


Hellooooo !!! After a few months break I'm back !
.

Life as been very hectic since Christmas, which has left very little time for blogging. To be honest I just can't believe we are over half way through March, where does the time go !!

I may have negleted my blog but not my hooky projects & I have lots to share with you.
.



.
Here is a little peek at two blankets I have been working on. I am trying to reduce my large stash of yarn before I buy anymore ! The first one is Rowan Pure Wool DK, (such beautiful yarn & colours) & the second is Cascade 220.
.




I will be back very soon to share more with you.

Bye for now ♥
