A new home for yarn

Hi there its good to have something to share again. I'm sooo happy because in addition to my beautiful
new dutch fabric i received a yum package in the post earlier this week, courtesy of  Fabric Shack. I sure do love this fabric shop, check it out,  their sale section is amazing & fantastic value. Here's a peek at some of the goodies i received

AND...............................

AND.................................. :)

AND.........................................................

I'm in love, i've been swooning over them aaaaaaaall week, scarey that!  Is it freakish that fabric can do that to me,  dont answer  :) please :) !
Anyway with my stash building rapidly i thought i'd better use up some little leftover bits, you see i keep every scrap, never know what might pop into your mind " a nice new scrappy cushion " or " a new yarn bag", which frankly was badly needed.  I've been using a yuck ol canvas thing to transport my yarn & crochet, because i just cant seem to leave them at home now, even if we're going grocery shopping. Of course that all rests on my lovely man doing more than his fair share of driving, he's just tooooooooooooooo good to me , really i'm constantly distracted with one project or the other & he just smiles & tells me how much he loves EVERYTHING i make ( bless his lovely heart).  Ok enough waffle , this is my new yarn bag..............


Loads of space for lots of colorful yarn..................................

I can take it ALL with me now, doesnt it look cosy in there.................................


And it even has teeny lil pockets for my crochet hooks. Mmmmmmmmmmmm i'm a happy hooker! erm crocheter today :)
Which reminds me the blanket is growing,  I want it to be at least four times this size but i'm happy with progress &  i'm definitely enjoying working on this more than any of the other blankets i've done. I love to stand back from it & look,  the cream just seems to make the colours stand out more. I think i''l be keeping this one for me..... is that mean..........nah!!!!


Been doing a lot of badly needed work in my garden, it was & still is pretty messy..... BUT there are some little gems out there.
Lookey here, i am so chuffed with my few FLOWER photos, I felt so professional getting these close ups ;)



Don't be fooled, sweet as these are the're not a real reflection of my garden, lets just call them 'Lucky Shots'!
By the way since my moan about the rotten weather last week, its been pretty good, have had a fairly decent amount of sun, so i'm even happier :) I think i'll moan more often!!!!!!!

Well i've enjoyed doing this post, its a definite happy day today, don't know why I just feel in good form, Love it!
Thanks for dropping by, love when you leave a comment, so please do. Have a wonderful evening
Lots of love & blessings Karen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All is lush as always.
Great flower photos too. I enjoy taking a few shots on my little point-and-shoot camera and am always pleased when I get a good one. Your photo of the big blue flower with the yellow centre (apologies for my lack of horticultural knowledge) would look gorgeous printed onto a big canvas.
