A different type of craft..........

Ok, l am giggling to myself as l write this, as l have just jumped on to do a post about "Old School" handicrafts and checking my blog feeds l came across an almost identical post from my fellow Just add ink design team member "Patrice Easton".....as l don't know hardly anyone who crochets and thought that it was definitely a craft of the past, apparently not, as both my girls tell me it's the in thing again.........go figure!

As a child of about 9-10yrs (Oh so long ago) l was introduced to this exciting thing called crochet, by my primary school crossing lady "Mrs Rigby" and promptly hounded my mother for the appropriate tools, after many attempts and a lot of unpicking and so much patience from the teacher, l finally mastered IMO the art of colourful squares that held so much promise for a future in fashion....as you do at that age...:0)
Anyway, thinking l was so much cleverer than the other girls on the "Crochet Team" as we called ourselves, as l had finished mine first, this is something closely resembling  my first completed article........My pride and joy!

Now l ask you, is that not the height of fashion and do you believe l actually made more than one and wore them...:0)

As both of my girls are decorating nurseries, l thought l would make them a cot blanket each to suit, the first one is for my beautiful little Brady, who is now nearly 4mths old, boy time moves these days...

And this next one is for my baby, who is expecting her first child (grandchild #3) in mid Oct, very excited!

This actually looks very blue in the pic, but is the most gorgeous soft duckegg/green tone in real life!

Well, that's all for this post, I'm at present working on a very colourful version for my first grandson Archer and may blog it when it's done...or not!
I hope you have enjoyed reminiscing along with me and maybe even relating...:0)

Thanks for stopping by....
