Daydreaming of crochet classes.

I am so excited! I have been invited to teach crochet at my most favourite place in the world, Minerva Crafts Darwen

The wonderful place that is Minerva can be found just next to the rail station in Darwen Lancashire.  It is a family run business that relocated from the old Blackburn market after the powers that be reduced stall size but increased rent price. Well all I can say is "your loss, Blackburn!"

I stumbled across the store shortly after being diagnosed with PND, and it has saved my sanity and my marriage (that is until hubby finds out that a ball of wool cost more than 50p!)

Wool, fabric, beads, buttons ......... the list is endless, all served to you by the most accommodating and pleasant staff one could wish to meet. They didn't even bat an eyelid when my 2 year old darling girl squirted a tube of glue all over the carpet!

The class I'll be teaching starts 17th May.  I have spent a week daydreaming of different crochet projects and have settled on a lovely bit of granny bunting.



I'll pop a picture in as soon as this ipad will let me ;)

Sweet dreams

Dreaming of new pastel projects.

I woke this morning thinking it was far too cold to daydream, almost at the end of March and still snowing!

I dragged myself out of bed, dutifully fed and watered the kids and set about making a cup of tea to slurp whilst reading the mail. A quick trip to Antarctic porch and

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

A beautiful Amazon parcel just for ME :)

Blogging for Bliss by Tara Frey
Lacy Crochet by Japanese Crafts
500 Crochet Blocks by Hannah Elgie & Kath Webber.

I've managed to have a quick look through them all but I need solitude to really digest the contents. I'll have to wait until the children are snug in bed but in the meantime I'll content myself with daydreaming of crochet coasters, pastel pincushions and beautiful ballerina Christmas stockings, bliss :)
