Today is the last day of the photo a day challenge set by the wonderful Ashley from Lazy Daisy Jones blog in partnership with the new UK magazine called Crochet Now. I have really enjoyed it and as always the IG community are generous with their comments, kind and some very funny too. I shall share more on this with you another day.
My last five days of entries are below:
Day 11: YARN STORAGE
 |
| I love this small corner in our house, it's my place of colour |
Day 12: BORDER
 |
| I have crochet borders in many places but I adore sleeping with this pillow case that I edged, makes me feel decadent in bed |
Day 13: FINALLY FINISHED
 |
| This bunting was one of the first things I ever crocheted, it is just over 5m long. I love it and use it at any opportunity, but was very glad when I had completed it. |
Day 14: BRIGHTS OR PASTELS
 |
| I'm a bright girl through and through with only the odd pastel colours here and there |
Day 15: BAG
 |
| A while back there was a phase when all I seemed to make were bags, this little one has proved to be very useful |

♥ Have a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned ♥
I love your corner of colors. Great bright pink that makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It really does make me smile. X
DeleteLovely photos, I like the shade you painted your unit xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo. The rest of the house is much more neutral but felt I could go a little wild in this corner
DeleteI love your wool storage unit. It must make you feel very creative every time you look at it. Have a good weekend. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara, perhaps as we are in the same profession you recognise what it once was?
DeleteWhat a shame your challenge has ended as your photos have been so colourful and fun. I too love your cosy corner and the colour of your unit. x
ReplyDeleteKaren think you SO much. Wait till I show you some of the others though. You'll see I'm not a patch on the others x
DeleteFive lovely things. Love your colourful, cosy corner and the little bag you have made. Have a lovely weekend:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosie x
DeleteI've never got beyond the 'miles and miles of chain' stage with crochet, so I love all your things. I specially like the crochet edging. That's something I'd love to be able to do.
ReplyDeleteHistory Anorak (love the blog name btw) there are so very many good you tube crochet tutorials out there that if you had time you'd be able to whip up the pillow edging in no time I'm pretty sure
DeleteSuch a great five, love your yarn display and the crochet edge on a pillowcase is inspirational.
ReplyDeleteMamanercantile you so should give the crochet pillow edges a go. It's super quick to do and makes such a difference
DeleteLove your colourful corner, I need one just like it. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteChristina you should. It's so easy to do and cheers me up no end x
DeleteYour crochet border is lovely. It's a simple, beautiful touch. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin. Just found your blog, will be back again and again
DeleteYour yarn storage is adorable! What a color splash, this turquoise shelf and the yarns in it... I've often thought, that's somehow sad, that I cannot see my yarns in their storage bags and boxes, so it is more inspiring and a joy for every day.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, I can find an old shelf... -
My favourite is the heart garland, so lovely!
Have a nice weekend
Thank you Masha. Very easy to paint a shelf and see your yarn. Hope you can make it happen. The heart bunting is one of my all time favourite makes
DeleteWhat a wonderful post! I too love your special corner. Oh, and I'd love to see my yarns stored in such an organized and beautiful way. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! xx
It does help with inspiration on a grey day Sara
DeleteGreetings dear Selma. I love the way you have your yarn all stored away in a bright corner. (And, I spy those lovely Christmas plates, too!) The crocheted bag you made is such a lovely design. I hope you have lots of time this weekend to crochet and enjoy your time! Hugs to you, Pat
ReplyDeleteFabulous...I LOVE your yard 'cabinet'. I'm gonna have to show Bud this in hopes he'll make me one. My crochet yarns are in bags and even baskets...messy, messy.
ReplyDeleteLove the tatted/crocheted pillow case edging.
Your yarn storage is a sight to behold, and I'm sure, a constant source to inspire you to get out your crochet hooks.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Patsy, this corner is inspiration itself (sometimes! ;) )
Deleteyour yarn storage and your bunting are so pretty x
ReplyDeleteThank you 'Driftwood' I love that bunting too it's so cheerful. Hope it's beginning to warm up for you now x
DeleteI adore your space of colour. I'm slowly working on mine. Just started a new project with some muted colours so I'm carefully dipping my toe in more colourful waters. Keep me away from neutrals! X
ReplyDeleteWe will endeavour to keep you away from neutrals Jules. When can we see photos ?
DeleteI'm hoping to post them in the next couple of days. Nothing like your standard of crochet but I'm slowly learning. X
DeleteJules!!! Where have I been? Went to reply to you asking where will I find the photos in a couple of days and there you are back in blog land. So sorry I missed the event but so VERY glad you are back xxxxx
DeleteOooh, love that yarn storage corner! So colorful and happy! Love that pretty crocheted border. Those kinds of crochet always delight me, but my arthritic hands really screamed at me when I tried to take it up again. I will have to appreciate others's creations!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the arthritis is stopping you from crocheting. Many in my family suffer from this too. Sending love Marie
DeleteThat bunting is so sweet. Love.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hen. I do love it myself ;)
