Jo, your blanket is going to be beautiful. I love the look of that stitch. I'm so excited about your new house, I cannot wait to see more. I would love to pick out all the things to go into a house, but I can see where it would be stressful. I have a hard enough time in a house that's already done. I hope you're having a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blanket Jo, lovely pattern and colours. Lovely photos in the garden. I remember it well, sending my boys (separately) off to secondary school on the bus and then (the eldest boy) off to college. They grow up too quick. Hope all goes well. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect post to soothe my frayed nerves Jo. I remember choosing windows for our extension... so many things to consider that I never even thought might need to be considered! Good luck :-)
ReplyDeleteBig sis sounds like a capable young girl - growing basil is not as easy as it may seem and heading off to big school is quite daunting, too. Wishing you a lovely Sunday evening. xx
Reading - your post :D Your blanket is lovely and I enjoyed reading about your life in July:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful post so much to look forward to as well as thankful for so many good things. Exciting times working out bathroom fittings.
ReplyDeleteI love the illustrations on those patterns! Enjoy the outdoor crochet
ReplyDeleteLoving the crochet! The patio is looking grand and a great place to show off those mosaics. I'm also not enjoying all the watering as my water buts have been empty a while and we have three. Considering getting more so as not to get caught out in future! I hope the induction days went well. x
ReplyDeleteLoved reading about your ings, Jo. :-) I appreciate your challenge in choosing elements for your new house, especially since we have been going through the process of choosing projects to get our house ready to sell. Lovely flowers and basil you have! xx
