Crochet bunting, Yarn Along And Pretty Flowers

Hi Guys :) This week i am joining in with  Yarn Along
for some reason the wee button thing-a-ma-jig won't show up! :/

This was my project yesterday, i painted the wall pink and finally put up my flower canvases, i've had them for a while but didn't know what to do with them, and it occurred to me to make a feature wall out of the! And look how lovely it is! :) 
The room instantly looks brighter, but soft at the same time , and it really makes me happy when i see it :) I'm not normally a pink person, but for this i shall make an exception
I think the wall may need another coat but i shall do that later.
I'm thinking a lovely soft gray for two of the walls on each side
I was thinking about crocheting a bunting to go over the mantel and i forgot this one was hanging up on the window  
Continuing with the flower theme i made myself a new coaster  
                                                    The pattern for it is here

If you go to my Pinterest board for crochet you may notice i have a slight obsession with bunting at the minute haha :)

I'm also making some pretty star bunting for Christmas. i like to start early :) I have another board dedicated to it :)
My reading for this week is The Help by Kathryn Stockett 
One of my favourites :)

    I love the stars. I've just got Bear's jumper to finish then I'm making a start on some 'indestructable' Christmas decorations so I might give them a try. X

      Aren't they sweet? I bought the makings for mulled wine today too! :D
      My cat decided to do a runner a while back so i don't get to worry about whether the tree will be ruined :( but it was kind of fun putting them back together lol xx

      Isn't it great? Every time i read i mumble to myself about the injustice of it all, and then when they start getting their own back i'm like "woohoo!You go girl" haha :)

Our Speaker Today

Hi guys :)  I am part of a community growers group, and over the next year or so we are going try and make our village look nicer and have an edible garden and flower beds.  Co Durham council are going to stop planting flowers in the flower beds on our main street, due to budget cuts, so we got the idea of putting things in the beds ourselves, including lots of herbs, and fruit bushes along the green. We want to really bring the community together and get them involved in growing things and generally making the village look nicer.  Yesterday, me and a two other members (and friends of course!) went on a wee jolly to Durham, for the Food Durham Annual Gathering. It is a marvellous initiative called The County Durham Food partnership.More info  here "Launched in May last year, the purpose is to work together for a more equitable,sustainable, fairer food system for County Durham providing access to food that is healthy for people and the planet."

Socks and Simple Pleasures

 Hi guys :) How do you like the blogs' new look and layout?  I fancied a change :) The socks on double pointed needles are going well! After a few hiccups with turning the heel (it got ripped out about 5 times!) it is finally beginning to take the shape of a sock! I must admit i am starting to get thoroughly sick of the colour brown! I tried it on after turning the heel but as the needles are straight they wouldn't fit over the instep so i had to quickly transfer them to a long circular.  It turns out knitting with DPN's is easier than it looks once you get into the rhythm of it :)    Today is looking gloomy and miserable, so no chance of putting the washing out. So i thought i'd share some sunnier pictures from the past few weeks This is the view about 1 mile from the house, i often wander down there to get some peace on nice days  On the way home i saw these beautiful horses, they saw me and started running and playing :...

Warm In Winter and Baking Day

Hi guys :) (Yes, I've changed the blog again, it desperately needed a refresh- variety is the spice of life, right?) Well, the snow is here, in case you haven't guessed by looking out of your own windows ;) I had to dive out in the snow this morning to rescue my poor leeks!  As you can see from the photo these were the only ones I managed to save :( I think the  others had decided to go to seed as they hadn't grown any more. Never mind. At least I've grown something rather than nothing :) I really don't like snow that much. It looks pretty, but it's a pain to walk in, as we live at the bottom of a hill, and the shop is on the other side of it! Luckily, we went food shopping yesterday and got everything we'd need for the fortnight, and got last bits and pieces today, so we won't need to leave  the house at all :)   I'll admit it does look very pretty Yesterday i dug out the thick duvet and added an extra blanket as well a...
