Yarn Along - A Little Bit Creative

I have felt seriously depleted of creativity lately.

I assume this is because I have a restless mind (marriage breakup, giving away the pets, moving house, yep that will do it).

I know that I am a much happier person when I am creating something, 

and oh how I wish that I were one of those artists who take their pain and throw 

it into their work.

One very miserable looking portrait aside ( as seen HERE ), that does not really seem to be my way of working. A little easy crochet project was exactly what I needed to kick start me, and so I have been making crochet stars for the ladies in my church

The children think they look more like snowflakes, but never mind. Maybe they will stretch to a more pointed shape when blocked (maybe?). I have about 60 to make, but they only take minutes each so its easy enough.

I couldn't find the original pattern to link to, but I found THIS one, which I may switch to because they look a bit more pointy. The yarn is from POUNDLAND 3 for £2.

And on a further creative note, this is what I have been reading.

Watercolour portraits are my passion. After years of dithering around it has finally

resonated with me that this is what I want to be when I grow up. 

A painter (portrait, figure & life).

I am going to be running some classes locally, as well as actually putting my head down and working for myself, and this book has been so inspiring. 

AMAZON do a preview, but I myself can highly recommend it.

Joining in with GINNY for yarn along.

Kat From Slugs On The Refrigerator

I have been a long time reader of Kat's Blog Slugs On The Refrigerator, and I love her and her family to bits. I was so excited for Kat last year when her first crochet book Crochet At Play was published and I pre ordered it from Amazon as soon as I could. This year I managed to go one better, and when Kat's second book Hook Stitch & Give came out, I travelled the few miles down the road (about 60 miles), and met Kat in person.

It was amazing to meet her after all these years, what a lovely lady she is. I won't lie, there was an element of the surreal, especially when I met her husband and children later in the day. I wanted to pick Georgia up and give her a cuddle, but obviously she has no clue who I am and I expect that would have scared her to death.

I hope we can get together again some time, and maybe Oscar can met Kat's beautiful trio. 

Please take a look at her crochet book, it is fabulous.
