Latest Project

So I didn't want to share my last knitting project just yet as the recipient reads this blog.  I've been busy knitting away since then to make another kind of present and lots of them but as far as I know, none of the recipients reads this blog so I think I'm safe to share this with you.


It started at Weightwatchers, our leader wanted us to do something that kept our hands out of the biscuit tin on an evening and mentioned how easy it is to knit wrist warmers.  I had no idea where to start but having mentioned the idea to my mum, she sent me a great link and I went on from there to make six pairs (including to smaller pairs - here's hoping they fit too!).  I was surprised at how cozy they turned out and will definitely be making more in the new year.

Blog Swap Update






 
 

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am taking part in the Soak up the Sun blog swap. Last Monday I sent of my little parcel of goodies and on Tuesday I received mine from way over the Atlantic, and it couldn't have come at a better moment. 



Carly sent me this cute pink bucket filled with goodies including a gorgeous scented candle, sweet post it notes, some funky notecards, an amazing 'cool beans' iced coffee set, a cereal bar, a mini body lotion and even a toy for Pete - which he loves!  Such a great idea from Meg - it really brightened up my week and I will be using these goodies all Summer!  Thanks Carly!

Blog Gift Swap




I love this idea from Meg over at Life of Meg.  It's such a lovely idea and a way to connect with other bloggers.  Check it out for yourself, but hurry!...it ends on Wednesday.
