It was one of those weekends where there were no plans, the kind of weekends that I like the best. They are the kind of weekends where sometimes not much gets done and more lists are made with nothing crossed off. I like to write lists, it gives me a goal and helps me to remember all the things I want to do. If I didn't have lists I'm sure I'd forget the things I needed to do each day. There are lots of things on my crafting list now I've put pen to paper but the one thing that I just want to finish is that crochet blanket I started back here. This weekend I made some progress on the crochet front, but with 47 stripes to go I'll be hooking away for a bit lot longer.
There were pancakes made for afternoon tea.
And with the last of the light on Sunday afternoon I took a walk around the yard.
Did you have a good weekend?
I'm in love with your photography.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blanket too!
Your blanket is going to be very impressive Catherine and so worth all the time spent on it. Love the colours you are using.
ReplyDeleteWe made a quick dash to the library on Friday to stock up on holiday reading material and plan to lay low for the next two weeks.

Progress is progress, no matter how long it takes you in the end! Just think how you will feel once it is finished. It will bring a smile to your face each time you see it. I love making Cohen's bed with the ripple blanket I made for him on it. He says, "Mama knit this because she loves me." (He calls any kind of craft knitting. :)
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is going to be (already is!) stunning! Such a beautiful combinations of colours. And all the hard work! It is going to be an heirloom piece that your girls are going to pass on to their children. Wishing you a glorious week :) x
ReplyDeleteLove, love your blanket Catherine - so restful - the colours are divine
ReplyDeleteWe go to the library once a week - my eldest reads a book or two a day!!
Your weekend sounds lovely

ReplyDeleteWhat a blanket. Your photography is beautiful. Look at that cutie with face paint. X
ReplyDeleteLovely, so lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is amazing!!!! Is crocheting hard? Your little one looks adorable with her little blue bird! Growing up I had one of those enamel blue bird brooches that were popular in the 1970s, so wish I still had it! x
ReplyDeleteI just love that blanket, you are so clever :)
ReplyDeleteAnd as for that last photo......amazing :)
Lovely collection. Weeds can be so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to crochet a blanket, but so far I've been unable to make myself commit to such a large project. Yours is so pretty. How long have you been working on it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blanket! I have never done any crocheting, but it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous macros!

I love weekends with no plans - though sometimes plans can be good. LOVE the blanket - i haven't worked on mine in months :-(.
ReplyDeleteLove those 'no plan' days that are so few and far between usually, but these school hols we are doing it a lot more than usual. Good for the soul! We go to the library once a week too - I just can't keep up with enough books for Goose!
ReplyDeleteMaking lists is a must in this household too....love the blanket too.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week. xxx
Oh that crochet is stunning & then the images got better & better, what a lovely post, love Posie
ReplyDeleteWeekends with no plans are pretty special..............your blanket is coming along beautifully and such a inspiration to those like me who yearn to master crocheting. great pics too!
ReplyDeletehi love the colous of your ripple blanket, i think now i should have stuck with just a few colours like you have , it looks so calming, mine is too riotous oh well maybe next time,
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of your weekend...the unplanned quiet weekends are seriously the best. Great job on the crocheting
ReplyDeleteYour ripple blanket is looking gorgeous, I love the colours you are using.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photos, like the yellow / white flower ..
ReplyDeleteOh Catherine, words do not do justice to how stunning your crochet blanket is looking - I love the colours and the pattern and cannot wait to see your finished product!! I love trips to the library too, stocking up on books to work my way through over the following weeks. Weekends with no plans, just spent pottering and planning are my favourite sort. I too make endless lists :)
