The coming weekend heralds the 15th year we host a family and friends boating regatta on our stretch of the Thames, it is chaotic, boisterous, full of energy, fun and laughter.
The regatta, as we grandly call it, does require much effort in organising and getting everything ready and with four days to go what have I started... but crocheting boats to make into bunting. I must need my head seeing to I really must! And what on earth am I doing sitting here at the computer writing and blogging about it when it's not even finished. If you don't hear from me until after the weekend you know where I am, recovering from the week end or burying my head in the sand as I was not quite ready for everyone but the bunting was finished...
So I'm doing this...

| So quick to whip up, wish me luck in finishing it and everything else that needs to be done by Friday... |
 |
| With 30 people staying with us from Friday to Sunday, there's a lot of food planning that needs thinking about... |
 |
| Children's foam play mats make excellent blocking boards |
 |
| Such an effective pattern |
The bunting pattern is not mine, did not have time to think something up as well, but the tutorial and instructions from Jacqueline are brilliantly clear, go see for your self. I shall be using this pattern again I am sure: Boat bunting

| Each year I make up a photo book from the previous years regatta, it's incredible to see how everyone changes... |
♥ Being very selfish, wish me well... ♥
