GAD 219

Granny A Day 219 is dedicated to all the daisies that I saw on my dog walk today


Well to be honest I am not too sure if they are all daisies as such, but all daisy looking flowers or even "weeds" I think, as some were growing in abundance in the corn field, but I feel that weeds can be as beautiful as a flower and don't deserve such a "stigmata" of a name

I am now going to concentrate on a few hours of work on the spiral granny baby blanket as "baby" is due in August!!

GAD 216, 217 & 218 oh and a 1st Prize!


Friday is GAD 216
Just a grab in the basket kind of colour combination which worked very compassionately together don't you think?

Ah now for the 1st prize bit!

Yes I won 1st in the local Village Show


For the "My Hobbies" section


of the Handicrafts


I am so chuffed + I won a £1 coin too!!
What can I spend it on I wonder?

GAD 217 for the same day denotes the grey skies and many showers that adorned my day


And after a very busy weekend and an even busier Sunday I have 
GAD 218 made
in a soft blue framed with a baby yellow


That's all for now folks 
Hope you have had a good weekend

Granny A Day 215

I made the first 3 rows of this GAD in a 1 hour class today


My pupil & I went on to make some "petals" that she had been wanting to make for some time now, so we did that after a few practices of "changing colour" which B soon picked up on.

I mentioned to her that I have a full tutorial on my blog so she's going to go home and practice before her next class next week.

If she brings along the same magazine next week we can make some flowers to go with the petals!
I am really looking forward to it.

Granny A Day 214

After an 8 hour shift, a visit to the neighbours on return of a dog walk, where she brought out a bottle of wine instead of the original offered coffee,
and a good catch up chat and dinner (not at the neighbours) 
this is GAD for the 1st August 2102


Pinch, Punch, first day of the month!

GAD 213 is to mark the amount of weeding I have done today, on my day of from work.
I pulled up mainly weeds, but I did look at some lovely flowers in my garden today too!

Wow it's Granny A Day 212 already

Where has the time gone?


So here it is
A Bright Yellow Centre petaled by Green, Fuchsia & Peach Granny Shells

 Before I forget, I must say that I was and still am very impressed with the new Inside Crochet Magazine.
Have you got yours yet & if you have what do YOU think?

GAD 210 & 211


Both squares this weekend were made from random picks from the Yarn / Wool basket.

I have had a very busy weekend this weekend so I apologise for the lack of enthusiasm on this post.


I started work (part time) at the Co Op today so that will explain my demeanor a little more thoroughly I hope!

I have an 8 hour shift tomorrow so who knows what GAD 212 will be like.
