I’m sure I started this project well over a year

I’m sure I started this project well over a year ago and I’ve changed direction with it a few times during that time.
This project was initially inspired by a rainbow picot petal flower Scheepjes blanket by @carinascrafts but it has taken me quite some time and investing in a second Scheepjes yarn colour pack to find my direction.
My plan is to complete 58 of these fusion Grandmother’s flower garden blooms and then piece them all together to form a blanket. I will possibly/probably use extra Liberty hexies to join the flowers together or even make extra Liberty blooms depending on what is needed when I work on the final layout.

Getting a little bit of sewing in on a project that hasn’t progressed at all this week.
All my spare time this week was spent playing catch up after the holidays and shopping for all those bits I know I‘ll need over the next few weeks when many of the shops will be shut. Hopefully next week I’ll get back to sewing again.

It was back to the office for me today so I revisited a fusion project from last year on today’s train journeys.
I was most grateful for those couple of hours with my crochet hook and sewing needle as crafting time is almost non existent atm. My evenings seem to be spent playing catch up at home following our return from holidays. What spare time I do have during the day has so far been spent out shopping. With a lockdown rumoured to be looming I thought it best to pick up some important things like birthday cards for the slew of upcoming birthdays and seedling compost, as it will soon be that time of year again.

Did some Brockanting (one of our German-English verb mash ups for visiting second hand stores) this afternoon and took in a quick spin to the Simmenfälle to pass a bit of time till the local Brocki opened after lunch.
The falls were looking pretty spectacular in their partially frozen state, but I have to say it was pretty baltic in those sunless parts of the valley.

This was my #yearofcolour for 2020. It was certainly filled with lots of glorious colour. I’m hoping that this year will be every bit as bright and cheery.

The view from my bedroom window this morning. I do so love all the snow 😍

Starting the day with a spot of mending because I refuse to let my favourite jeans die.
