Pretty colour stripes!

Hello all and I hope that your week has been going well?  The usual busy one here, and a range of ups and downs! Such is life!  It looks as though my laptop has somewhat deceased - it was second-hand when I got it and has been much loved and used for 3 years, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much (although I probably will lol!). But thankfully my IT Handyman (hubby!) has retrieved the hard drive and so rescued all the photos, etc., that were on there. Phew! But the downside is that I am now using the home computer - which seems to have a bit of a queueing system lol! (i.e. my husband on it - a lot! - or son wanting to use it to print stuff out, etc.). But at least I can make contact with Blogland a bit, and will try my best to keep up with everyone when I've booked my slot to get onto the computer. And to add to my general feeling of well-being, I got into my little car yesterday to go to work and instead of a perky, ready-to-go ignition, was greeted with a sad sort of sigh when I turned the key.  So had an unanticipated walk to work (amid some grumbling and muttering). Thankfully it's not too far (just under a mile and half) and it wasn't raining or there would have been another tantrum lol! Do you ever get the feeling that things are queueing up to go wrong...?  Hence, the resident Car Repair man (i.e. husband, again!) had to put the battery on charge overnight and thankfully it started ok this morning. As I've told him, if I didn't find all these little jobs for him to do, he might feel unloved and unnecessary.....

Anyway, apologies for yet another waffling blogpost!  Thank goodness that wool and a crochet hook is fairly reliable (except when the cat gets hold of the wool).  I decided to use up some of my dk wool and make a little pram/cot blanket, using a lovely pattern that the talented Lucy on the Attic24 blog has used for her "cosy blanket" (link HERE).

Some pretty spring colours, for a cute little blanket. It's not very big, but very soft and snuggly, and I've added a simple shell edging

Sorry for the overload of photos! But hope you like the splash of colour.

And I hope your week goes a little bit smoother than mine has up to now lol! 

Fingers crossed nothing else decides to give up on me.

And I realised (a bit late) that my little Blog is now 3 years old! Wow! And the only reason it has kept going so long is because of all my fabulous followers, leaving such lovely, supportive comments. Thank you so much.  So, when I get my act together, I will organise a little bit of Easter blog candy to celebrate - keep watching this space! 

Back soon,

Kim x
