I am cushion mad.<br />Your card from your sis is sweet. HOW CUTE. I hope she feels better. Depression can be so isoalting but she will appreciate you being there and getting out can help to bring her confidence back.<br />I think a cleaner is a jolly good idea. After a full day's work, there isn't much time for that stuff. You can have more time for you.<br />I am loving your blog, it is fab. xTracy Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241249836621046253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-36041701096266470312011-07-09T15:12:56.761+01:002011-07-09T15:12:56.761+01:00Oh god where to start!!

It's all the stuff of dreams for me. <br /><br />I have a cleaner at the moment, I would have zero life if I had to clean this pile as well as peep it tidy, mind you I only have her for 4 hours a week and that barely gets half the place done so I do still clean quite a bit. But atl east I know all the bathrooms and kitchen floor gets done once a week!!!<br /><br />Just read Lovely Sandi's comment. I get all my stylecraft from Masons<br /><br />http://www.masonsneedlecraft.co.uk/<br /><br />SUUUUPER quick service, cheap prices and I think they stock the whole range. They even do a bag of colours Attic24 used for one of her blankets recently.<br /><br />What I came on here to say originally is now I have finished Gem's skirt I have started your roll. With all 12 aluminium hooks and 6 soft touch ones it's gonna be a long beasty! I'm hoping you like the fabrics I'm using. Next week I have to do a 40th wedding anniversary 2 tiered cake but I'm optimistic that you'll have it in your hands in a couple of weeks!!<br /><br />xxxCuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873833055446436983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-85866486362389378142011-07-06T00:12:15.493+01:002011-07-06T00:12:15.493+01:00I just realised I haven't answered your questi...I just realised I haven't answered your question re: Stylecraft. You can go to this site http://www.countrycrafts.org.uk and look at the Stylecraft Special DK, it is acrylic and I don't normally like acrylic, I like natural yarns, however for a blanket on the couch when you don't have heaps to spend this is ideal. It is soft and squishy NOT hard or squeekie, it crochets up really easily, nice to work with and the colors are fantastic. Very cheap (I think) for 100g balls. I have found another one it is: http://www.deramores.com the postage is a little cheaper for me and I had a 10% off voucher, it's the only reason I bought from there last time. Chris at Country Crafts is lovely, a package went missing and I told her I hadn't received it, she sent out another one, I was so happy that she believed me. Deramores have lovely cotton yarn in 100g balls, I ordered some, we don't have the vibrant colors here like you do over the pond.<br />Hope this helps xx sandisandiarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395329327447746029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-20759739550643460272011-07-05T21:13:50.506+01:002011-07-05T21:13:50.506+01:00Hmmm, I love a weekend like that.

Your front room looks so cosy, I imagine it to be very nice in the winter when you could have the fire on and snuggle under a blanket. You'll have your very own one to enoy this coming winter! Hope your getting on okay with it..!?<br /><br />Sounds to me like you had the perfect weekend, it's so great when the weather is nice enough to eat outside in the garden. That's when it really begins to feel like summer..! The garlicky lemon chicken sounds very scrummy, I never used to love chicken all that much.. but in the last few weeks we've had roast chicken twice and it was scrumptious! :-)<br /><br />So glad you had such a great time with your sister at the wedding reception.<br /><br />Ashley xxxCountry Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322288283634034259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-76558091530837811002011-07-04T12:23:26.837+01:002011-07-04T12:23:26.837+01:00It seems like you've had a wonderful weekend. ...It seems like you've had a wonderful weekend.

Your weekend sounds idyllic.<br />I LOVE yoga - it's the best thing ever for 'head space' - the only things I have in the boot of my car are my reusable Waitrose bags, a ground sheet (why?) and my yoga mat. Just the essentials then...<br />How's the scarf looking? You can email me at unravelledblog at yahoo dot co dot uk if you're stuck on the edging (or for any other reason too!)
