Crochet to cheer up my boy

March 14, 2018 Mel xLeave a comment

My little boy has been under the weather with a sickness bug for a few days. Its kept him off school and he missed his swimming lesson and lego club so he has been less than impressed. He told me yesterday afternoon that he would feel better if he had a new toy but as I…… Continue reading Crochet to cheer up my boy

Oh look some crochet!

January 26, 2018February 14, 2018 Mel xLeave a comment

Its been a while since I picked up a crochet hook so I decided to make a friend a mini margarita to go with the reverse canvas I made using my cameo. I really need to start crocheting again. I am always happier/calmer when I do. Day 26 of RED JANUARY is now done. The…… Continue reading Oh look some crochet!

Teddy bear lovey and a lion.

March 16, 2017 Mel x1 Comment

So the squares haven’t really made a come back yet. I am a lot behind. Ugh. I did attempt my first c2c graphgan. I made the first square from Sarah Zimmerman’s learn c2c class on Annie’s Catalog. It’s a baby blanket. The first square is a lion. Super cute and super easy. I have all…… Continue reading Teddy bear lovey and a lion.

Fishies

February 17, 2017February 18, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I am having a slightly better but still not great day today. Mainly because I have a chest infection that is kicking my arse. I haven’t left the house for ages. This does not do my brain any favours. Square 48 was made up sitting on the sofa watching Doctor Strange with my 5-year-old (yeah I…… Continue reading Fishies

46 – 47

February 16, 2017February 18, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I just couldn’t be bothered to look at patterns. I cant really be bothered with much at the moment. Blah. Square 46 – alternative rows of single and double crochets. Square 47 does have a pattern, a very easy pattern. Its called the Open Granny Square I really need to start sewing these things together!

A few days off -the blogging not crochet

February 15, 2017 Mel x3 Comments

I just haven’t had it in me to blog over the last few days. I have been doing my squares though. Square 42  – I made it up. It wasn’t all that successful. I was also in a bit of a depression fog so I can’t actually remember what I did. It makes me laugh…… Continue reading A few days off -the blogging not crochet

A better day :)

February 10, 2017February 10, 2017 Mel x1 Comment

It is still unpleasantly grey here in Baku but today was a better day mental health wise. It started off wobbly when for the first time this year I could not bring myself to get out of bed. I had my head under the duvet and a few tears until 10am. I managed to get…… Continue reading A better day 🙂

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

Another crap day. Grey and cold. I can feel myself becoming more depressed. I really do think my general happiness is linked to sun, I was never happier than when we lived in Dubai. The UAE is the only country that I have ever lived in where I didn’t take medication. I miss it. A…… Continue reading Its raining, its pouring….

Not the weather for running

February 8, 2017February 9, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I swear I am still cold from this morning. It is freezing, raining and miserable in Baku today. Not the best weather for running but we did it anyway. It was awful. Freezing and wet but we got it done and actually managed more than we have previously, probably because we were hoping to just…… Continue reading Not the weather for running
