Canvas

 

I havebeen obsessed with Outlander since I discovered the series in October 2019 whilst stuck at home alone during a bout of one of my many illnesses.  I was literally hooked within the first couple of minutes, and that was before I saw the gorgeous Sam Heughan who plays Jamie Fraser!  I binge watched the 4 seasons which were available at the time and have re-watched several times since because it never gets old, even though it is mostly set in the 18th century haha. I'm eagerly waiting for season 6 which is released on March 6th.

Anyway Rebekah, my eldest, painted this little canvas for me for Christmas and I absolutely love it!  It's of me and Adam done in Outlander style.  I'm so glad Bekah has taken to doing painting again, it has a calming influence on her, just as crochet does with me.  I'm a firm believer in expressing creativity in whatever form you're able and that everyone has that capacity within them, it's just a case of finding your niche.

Craft Diary

 On having a mooch through my crafty stash, I found this notebook that I had originally bought to document my work in progresses.  However, the book itself became a WIP!!  So today I decided to use it as a diary to record all the craft projects I do so at the end of the year I will be able to look back on the things I've made.

And yes, I do love all things Marvel!

Kezia's blanket

 My long term project for 2021 was this crochet blanket for Kezia.  It's made up of 190 granny squares joined by half treble crochet stitches.  Some of the yarn was given to me by my Mum and some I bought so it's a real mixture!  The blanket is the size of a single bed so it's my largest crochet project so far!
