Creative Space - soothing craft

It has been a stressful week 
nothing overwhelming, but it has been an emotional drain
maybe too much happening all at once
I am a bit of a slow to adjust kind of girl


So creatively this week I have turned to that most soothing of domestic arts -
crochet-
A few trims, a flower, a lacy scarf

Enamored with this book, recommended by Kate, hoping a copy will come my way birthday time (are you reading Mr?).

The scarf pattern is ever so easy - there is a link to it on my "make" page

Hope to be back to myself next week,
but for now I am just going to be, 
hang out with the boy, bake some bread, play box houses, my kinda relaxation...

Hop over here to see some more creativity.

  4. I love that green one Tracey, is it small, like the spools you've photographed it with? Saw someone doing crocheted trim on vintage fabric pillowcases. Looked beautiful. Stay sane. Be good. Things are a little too frantic here. Always too much laundry to do! The work never ends. But it's never dull!

  9. Those colours are soothing alone, nevermind the process. I definitely hear you. I have been husband-less for 6 days now and as a result crafting up a storm in the evenings. Loving it. So relaxing and satisfying. xo m.
