Monday's? Pah!

You can always tell how anxious I am by the amount of crochet projects I start ... and not finish.

At the moment I have several WIPs

... J's Blue & red cushions ...

I have been working on these over the summer and all I need to do if finish the buttons ... 
 ... R's Purple & Green cushion ...
I started this the other day - one of those situations when you just look at your stash and think "Ah, I know ..." It's loosely based on a 1970s crochet book I have but I'm making it up as I go along. I'll write it up once I've finished it. I ran out of the Good Fortune Cotton from Texere Yarns which I have to admit to being in love with. Some lovely colours and very reasonably priced if you get the cones.

And guess what has just arrived in the mail ...

... Orange Circle of Friends ...
I have to admit to loving this pattern - Priscilla's Crochet -  but really not liking the colours I have chosen. I'll persevere and see how it goes.
 

 ... Blue Hotel Mixed Stripe CAL ...
To add to all that I have decided to join in with little woolies blanket CAL. Her blankets are just gorgeous and she is putting the instructions up on this page  I bought some Monaco Cotton in the sale from Texere Yarns.


Why so anxious you ask? Just feeling a bit dragged down by what life is throwing me at the moment. I am genuinely hoping that all this luvverly jubbly stuff will boost my spirits.

    I also bought Monaco cotton in the sale after you recommended Texere yarns! The blue shades are lovely aren't they?

    The orange squares you are working on are lovely, very autumnal!
