It was lovely to see the familiar IG pics with a bit of a narrative.<br /><br />Vanessa has no clue how inspiring she is does she? She always seems genuinely surprised at how a generation of blankets get started every time she posts her latest. Truly lovely girl.<br /><br />Right I'm going back to bed with a cuppa. After weeks and weeks of very little time alone (even visits to the toilet are interupted) I have a day all to myself. The bigguns are at Granny's and The Kid has gone to nursery. I'm going to try to finish my knitted squares blanket (tiny- deffo a lap blanket) and then set a zip in that booby frock.<br /><br />Have a fab day my friend.<br /><br />xxxCuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873833055446436983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-13195293005200226502012-08-21T17:33:50.565+01:002012-08-21T17:33:50.565+01:00I wish I had some time off to craft!I wish I had some time off to craft!daisychainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868046557771529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-25896839690146343672012-08-21T14:25:12.920+01:002012-08-21T14:25:12.920+01:00I do so love reading your blog Nicki.

I didn't once get bored or think about giving up and having a cushion or lap blanket instead. I think as you start to lay them out you realise just how great they would look as a big project rather than a little one. Yours is going to look fab whatever you decide to turn it into......but it will look the best on your bed! ha ha!<br /><br />I have been desperate to make chutneys and pickles. i saw the most amazing piccalilli recipe that I want to make and it just so happens my mum popped bu yesterday with more preserve jars!

I was going to make apricot when I saw them in the shop the other day, but I know I'll be making some blackberry jam once they have rippened and there is only so much jam we can eat. I have also made some chutney which is so good with cheese.
