Snowdrops, I love you so much!

I was lucky enough to try out these tube turners from @prym.consumer for @minervacrafts recently. They are a nifty gadget that makes turning tubes easy peasy πŸ™ŒπŸ½ Links to the my review are up in my bio. I included a simple tutorial to make a little bag to keep them in too, I knew there was no way I’d keep all 6 bits together otherwise! #minervacrafts #sewinggadgets #sewingtools #tubeturners #sumoftheirstories #prym #productreview #lovetosew #sewistsgonnasew

I started this about a month ago as a bit of a stash buster / easy in front of the tv project but now I can’t find what pattern I was following! πŸ™„ I haven’t pinned it (not like me, I usually pin all the things) It had a couple of colour stripes then a wide colour border to finish, possibly a bit of a wavy or scalloped edge- ring any bells with anyone? 
I can wing it, so it’s not a problem but I’d like to be able to tag & credit the designer when it’s finished if possible #crochetshawl #crochetshawlpattern #lovetocrochet #craftingismytherapy_february #craftingismytherapy #watchingtvproject #easycrochet #yarnstashbusting #createeveryday #crochetersofig #makeityourself #crochethelpneeded

I NEEDED to just sit and make something last night (it’s been one of those weeks) This is when those lovely little kits from @molliemakes come in perfectly. These little hearts from this month’s issue are by @katiejonesknit πŸ₯° I wasn’t sure I’d use them as patches so I squeezed tassels out of the yarn & made heart hanging thingies #craftingismytherapy_february #craftsastherapy #lovetomake #molliemakers #molliemakes #hanginghearts #crochethearts #tassels #tasselallthethings #valentinedecoration #colorcolourlovers #colourlover #craftevening #colourpop

Today for day 3 of #colourmyeveryday & PLACE I’m looking back to May 2017 and the Chelsea Flower show. We had a once in a lifetime family girls day out with some people traveling from the other side of the world so we could all be together. At the time I thought I’d had a lovely day. After the passing of time to soften the memory of a couple of slightly stressed moments (inevitable with a large group πŸ˜‚) I now reflect that is was one of my best days out ever, a beautiful way to spend a precious day with the extraordinary group of strong & amazing women who I am lucky enough to get to call my family πŸ₯°πŸ˜˜ Plus the flowers were really pretty 🌸🌼🌻🌺 #colourfulllife #flowersofinstagram #colourcolorlovers #chelseaflowershow #bestdayout #familydayout #throwbacktuesday (I know that’s not really a thing!) #floralinstallation #seeingthepretty #botanicalpickmeup #joyfulflowers
