We {Heart} Camping

In April we bought a new tent. We got the whole kit, new tent, extension (for rainy days), sleeping bags and air beds. We have been going camping since Charlie was a baby, with a fabulous tent that my father in law bought us, but it had definitely seen better days and we love camping so much that we invested in a new one. We got a lovely new tent and then it rained and rained and rained. It was cold and the weather was really just not the right kind of weather for camping. Then it changed, the sun came out and the summer began.This weekend was the perfect for camping at Kingsdown Campsite near Deal Kent.



I have recently dipped my toes into the world of craft blog linky parties where wonderfully creative people share their ideas, makings  and fabulous stuff with other people. You are allowed to comment and ask questions and even copy. I think that they may well be quite addictive. There is also the added excitement that someone may well even visit your post and leave a comment. These are people who you have never met before, just being nice to you. It's a very caring and sharing kind of thing to do.

There have been a large number of projects that have taken my fancy and I have been trying to collect them on my blog page Just Completely Brilliant and Fabulous when I remember. This week though I loved the I {Heart} Camping T-shirt ~ a tutorial  by Heather at Twin Dragonfly Designs. What a brilliant blog!! And the t-shirts are just completely brilliant and fabulous. I  made one for Josie, she's wore it immediately, got it very muddy and it had been washed twice before we even went camping. Josie did not want Charlie to have one the same as hers so his was different once again to the original design by Heather.



Both of the children wore their t-shirts all weekend which made me so happy and the camping trip was brilliant.






This one is Josie's


And this is Charlie's

Granny square Christmas

When I was younger I fell in love with the granny square blanket my Nan had made. It was in her tiny little Welsh cottage near the mountains and was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. So many colours and combinations of colours, it was just truly amazing. I'm not sure if it's the happy childhood memories or my ever increasing passion for crocheting, but granny squares (and doilies) are something I could fill me life with. Even more delightful are the variations on granny squares. Star burst blanket, which used to be my favourite, but I have recently had a go at African flowers. They are quick and easy to make and so very pretty. Thanks to the brilliant free pattern that I found here , I have managed to make a little crochet Christmas stocking made out of 16 1/2 motifs. I am happy with the how the little Christmas stocking turned out and am now rather fond of African flowers, star burst and granny squares, well actually, all

The Pink Ladies

As we sat in our classroom inspired horseshoe, designed to encourage conversation, there was a slightly uneasy silence. Those of us who knew each other, stole furtive glances, others returned our smiles politely although they were not privy to the planning and discussion that had occurred in preparation for the evening. The time had slowed, 8pm seemed an age away. The silence was intermittently interspersed with brief attemps at small talk and the rants of a drunk outside on the city streets. The commanding presence of our WI advisor Dorothy, had the air of an experienced headmistress or well respected senior relative which in the event of such formalities made me feel foolish in my .....excitement. Some of us stifled giggles as advice was provided on the process, as we had already made the majority of our formal decisions but it was with noticeable nerves, that I raised my hand to the question of who wished to be President.   So that's it, another new chapter has open
