Crochet-a-long

We are having a busy time here, busy weeks and then busy weekends too!  This last weekend we had our annual church family camp at Raglan.  The sight from our bedroom window was awe-inspiring, overlooking the Tasman Sea.  The view from that place takes my breath away each year.  The only crafting I have had time for is my crochet cushion, I am loving how quick and portable it is.  Thanks so much to Lisa for the encouragement to do this.  The colours go so well with Charlie's quilt so it is obvious who it is intended for!  I'm not sure what to do for the back so my next step will be to work that out.
I had to include the cute pussy photos that the kids captured lately.  Holly is such a sweetie and sleeps with her head plonked on the floor, and Barney, well he is just Barney!  Wendy xx

  15. Hello. I have just discovered your blog .. I'm a mildly homesick (I always will be) kiwi. I miss the sea especially the wild west coast. It is beautiful. Your crochet (and all the rest of your amazing work) is gorgeous too. My nana spent all day every day crocheting. Now me, my mum and sister all do a bit along with possibly every other sewing/knitting craft going.
