Beautiful cotton coasters

Don't you just love finding a new pattern!
I am addicted to these beautiful table mats!
The pattern I found on Pinterest 
by the talented Barbara Langer
and was from


I have been making them in all colours
 and coordinating them with coasters too
 for a little wedding gift


Finally I made one for myself
using Stylecraft cotton Classique with a 3.5mm hook

It is so lovely I don't want to hide it under my vase!


Do have a go!
Very quick and easy!

happy hookin!

I've been busy creating cosy hot water bottles
which have been extremely popular!


stripes


granny squares


small and big


a cosy polo neck


bright rainbow colours


and pretty granny chic


Keeping GB warm!

I hope you are keeping warm as it is snowing again today!

with piles of raspberry and violet starburst flowers
 in every combination possible!


then came the cream
oooooohhhh it is so rich!

Gorgeous Granny Goodness

Life at Patchwork House this last week . . .
I will let the pictures tell the story









Such a happy week!
I have loved
 the colours, the richness,
 the vintage feel,
 the granny square goodness,
 the join as you go texture,
 the border
 and in short am very sad to be posting this treasure
 to its new owner tomorrow!!!
 But I know It will be loved
 and is going to a good home!

I am loving being back in blogland
 and hearing from you lovely ladies again,
 do stop and say hi!

Back to my hooky!

All for the love of Cath . . . . .

Once upon a time there was a lady who loved all things Cath ...
 (I do believe there are a few of us???)

Look what the postman brought me!

Cotton yarn in delicious colours
Armed with a pattern I had found on the internet
which you can find 
I spent a wonderful hooky evening

Traditional pattern
and am delighted with the results

Coaster set

I will be making these to sell soon,
 in sets of 6 mixed colours or to any combination of your choice. 
You can contact me to order via email or my facebook page.

Back to my granny blanket making now . . .
I will be posting the progress I am making 
and sharing the gorgeous granny goodness tomorrow!
See you then

A little something for me

Time off from school is precious
 and
 this holiday whilst taking a week off from orders
 I have enjoyed a little selfish hooky!


Who doesn't love a bit of granny goodness?

When I saw many of my pals on Instagram coming up with gorgeous 
cowls, snoods and scarves I knew I just had to have a go!

The pattern I chose to use was written by the lovely Kath over at
Inverleith blog. 

How exciting to rummage through my stash and find scraps to match with my different coats


This is what I came up with!
I am thrilled with my new cowl, it is so soft and snuggly.


I do encourage you
 to have a go
It really is very easy and suitable for any beginners
 and any experienced hooky types will love the simplicity
 knocking one up in a couple of sittings!


So go on over to Inverleith Blog NOW!

Bye for now ... back to my granny blanket

Gorgeous Granny Goodness

Colour Palettes from Design Seeds
 have helped inspire my work so much this year
 and I want to give credit to the wonderful excitement that they give,

Design Seeds
 just making me want to delve into my yarn stash
 and come up with yummy concoctions like these , , , , , 


So what better to make than
 gorgeous granny squares
 with these rich tapestry colours


which will in due course be made into a blanket


of the most cosy kind . . . 

Back to my hooky now
more tomorrow!

Good night
