Catching up and May 15th

Hello everyone,

I hope you have all had a wonderful week.

As you all may be aware I have changed my logo and layout of the blog as well as everything else. Would love to hear your comments on it, so please drop me a line and let me know your thoughts.

The weather has been from one extreme to the other, with today's being icy cold here. But that is why we have lovely throws, shawls, jumpers and wraps.

Speaking of wraps I finally finished the wrap I was making for my Mother in-law for Mother's Day (which is next week people).

I have to admit I think I did a fairly good job of it and I can only hope that MIL likes it. It isn't heavy but still very warm and that was what I was going for as well as a pretty lacy look.

The colour was picked by hubby who thought the variegation of reds and brown complimented his mum's skin tone.

Pattern can be found for FREE at Redheart.

Now if you have read last week's Wednesday WoW post, you would have seen me basically throwing a tantrum over not finding the pattern I was using for a pair of booties I was half way through.

GOOD NEWS! I FOUND IT 

As per my intentions I have begun printing off the pattern's I have used which then brings me to the onerous task of doing links to the pattern designers (oh my brain is hurting now lol) but in all sincerity these wonderful ladies and gents put a lot of time and effort into creating the most amazing designs, some for FREE and some you need to pay for. Which when you think about it, is quite fair as they have to make a living too, even if it is something you love doing.

The current pair of booties I am working on are soooo cute. But I'm not going to tell you how they will end up looking as that will take the surprise away but I do have a photo of one half made and the beginning of its mate.

Anyway that is about it for this Sunday's post. Over the next 2 weeks I will be working on my store, getting everything ready for the 15th May. Can't wait!
