A small collection of homegrown Strawberries and the promise of lots more(I put down organic slug pellets today)
Few fiddly bits of fun crochet to use up left overs. I have a craft stall coming up so it is good to use up stash and not spend money on materials.
Making cards for the craft fair too.
Enjoying the monotony of this throw over top. Easy to relax with.
Messing about crocheting with embroidery threads and a 2.5 hook.
Got another Elise shawl started. I take it to the girls ballet lessons on Saturdays, it is my current portable project.
What are you 'messing' about doing today?

Some really beautiful makes, the cards are delightful.

Gosh you are always so industrious Jo, lovely post full of lovely makes, thank you for sharing! Me? I'm busy with appliqué this week! xoJoy
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. Unfortunately work has gotten in the way for me this week but when I do get a minute to spare it's been knitting and crocheting and blocking out of granny squares.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see what you have on the go Jo, and your productivity never ceases to amaze me. I really like the oven gloves by the way, that free-style stitching came out really well. x
ReplyDeleteIm laid up at the moment just had a tooth out today. Im looking for nice nlogs to cheer me up. Yours has not disappointed ♡
ReplyDeleteNothing as fun as you are messing around with! I love your mug cosy, the cherries are so pretty. I hope that the craft fair goes well for you. xx
ReplyDeleteI have been mending a pile of jeans and other clothes. Nothing exiting but very satisfying. I think I need to post about my urge to mend stuff. I love the cherry mug warmer, it is just so cute. Hope your craft stall will be a success! I am sure it will with all the lovely things you make. x
ReplyDeleteA job well done, I don't overlook those sort of craft jobs as part of my 'make everyday' philosophy. Jo x
DeleteAhhhhh, you put me to shame! I have just been at work today, boooo. :( I did check on my strawberries earlier though and have a few I can pick soon. I also have pears growing on my pear tree for the first time which I am very excited about! Enjoy the craft fair, I am sure it will be a great success. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Jo, I love the cherry mug warmer thingy. Love it! I'm doing absolutely nothing. Feeling very lazy. xx
ReplyDeleteBusy lady! I haven't crafted at all today. I did work on a ripple throw last night, got a whole stripe done! I hope to sit with it again tonight after the small Bears are in bed.
ReplyDeleteLove messing about days and anything with strawbs or cherries gets my vote every time. I sooo need a messing about day, but for this week I'm resigned to them being rushing about days instead.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
Not long with the decorators now....Hang in there Jo xxxx
DeleteOh yum strawbugs from the garden , we've been getting through quite a lot of those organic pellets here too, pretty cards and I love the mug cosy, I'm in the midst of making a little felt strawberry at the mo
