My Creative Space late again lol

Another creeper thursday, Im late again, but its ok the fact of the matter is, I made it! Some of you who have seen mums post know we have been unwell! and a few personal crisis later and Im back in the world...I've been MIA for a week! Soph thought I was dead hehe but alas here I am, with a bucket load of pretties.

On my desk atm is Yarn, seems to be a theme..maybe I have an addiction! I've been playing in the dyepots and dyeing up yarn club and dreaming up a few new things that will be released very soon. A little late for my 1 year of blogging! which was yesterday (giveaway on the way aswell keep your eyes peeled) 
Here are a few little odds and ends that have emerged from the cauldron.

'Toxic Watermelon' - She has a home all the way in the USA!
and 'Lock and Key Princess' - She also has a home, same lady all love! Another two to be sent off never to see me again! gosh this yarn is like my children! Well children that get put in the mircrowave and hung out to dry but children no less! 
also on my desk are some yarnies goodnesses! I won a blog giveaway from the delightful Peta's Blog 
this beautiful scarf which I adore!! and this project bag hit my doorstep! I love good project bag. its now pride of place in my handbag with blanket yarn in it for knitting on the go! speaking of the adorable blanket! The donations have touched my heart.
this was just one days worth of yarn from all different women! I love scraps! and when Im dont, I shall pass them on to other blanket knitters in need!


For more creative spaces Check out Kootoyoo's Blog jump in and have a look around!
Tea and yarn

An Egg Hunt and a little touch of Cotton

Happy Easter my lovelies! My morning started at 6:30 with Mr Eli champing at the bit to get out of his room and look for eggs! we scatterd some in his room but somehow he missed them he squeeled when I pointed them out! Easter Bunny bought him a egg hunt bucket with none other than his favourite thing in the world Thomas! He searched half the house for eggs! The pictures are a little blurry because he wasnt in one spot long enough for me to catch a nice photo!
The egg bucket starting to fill up quickly, it was such a joy watching him through sleepy eyes. Last year he collected eggs but wasnt that into it lol just did it because he could! 
The last eggs to be found this morning were on the little magical bookshelf in the lounge!
we bundled up the children by 8:30am to set off the Mum's for an easter breakfast! we decided that we would do hanmade gifts this year, nothing really fancy but still enough to bring a smile to our faces. My mum gifted me with this lovely little canvas for my craft room. They are a set of three, and I will get them over the course of the year! Another beautiful addition to my little nook. I love the Pearl1 and she will kill me for mentioning it! but its not often your mum makes a spelling mistake! Its always me. PEARL1 mum! pearl1 hehe
I made my sister a cute little neckwarmer from squishy organic cotton, finishing it off with a crocheted Scolloped edge and Fabric buttons to match. Im currently making another for a girlfriend for tomorrows gift giving. Hers is in Eggplant purple with bright green buttons. I think I love it so much I'm making myself one with that delightful handspun I posted a few days ago.

And a little snap of the next square to be created on the blanket that has won over my heart.


Enjoy your easters darling, eat chocolate and be merry!
