I have never crocheted a blanket before but as so many people show their blankets in blogland, I started with a simple one, as well, Hope that I will have the patience to finish it.

I think that we all do balancing on the furniture to take photos sometimes, that is just part of being a blogger isn't it!!! I hope that you enjoy your new crafting room/space, it is nice to have somewhere to keep everything together isn't it. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-21433483643605095122014-08-21T22:48:00.487+01:002014-08-21T22:48:00.487+01:00Getting suitable storage will be tricky.

Nice to read from you! I was still...Hello Gillian!<br /><br />Nice to read from you! I was still marvelling over your amazing post about the honey bees, and here you have written already another post! (Wish I could try that honey!)<br /><br />That blanket is so pretty, I love the bright colours, I find them extremely cheerful! (I can see you must like colours as much as I do!!) And the size of it!!! Amazing! WELL DONE!!!!<br /><br />Yay! You are going to have a proper Craft Room (with Capital letters even!) Fantastic! I have my own Craft corner here which is basically a table with lamp, sewing machine, then underneath there are lots of clear storage boxes from Ikea, and there is a glass door cabinet which also houses smaller items (beads, ribbons, buttons etc). My wool however, is stashed in lots of places, as there is a lot of it! Yes, I'm a bit of a yarnaholic! Funnily enough I tend to do a lot of crafting sitting by the dining table, I regard it as my base. Recently I bought a trolley for all those WIPs. So I keep looking for new kinds of storage. If you can manage to contain it all in one room, then that must be great, to have it all on hand, when you want it. Take your time over it and let it grow organically!<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend and find some time to relax! You work so hard!!!<br />Ingrid xx<br />http://myfunkycrochet.blogspot.beIngrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-19774438776839229492014-08-21T21:27:30.232+01:002014-08-21T21:27:30.232+01:00It's beautiful, Gillian!
