I love everything, although I said to Sarah that the lovely crocheted coasters are destined for my dressing table, I don't want anyone dripping tea on those! - Look at the little baboushka doll, isn't she sweet? and Sarah made the little rolling pin especially, after I saw it on one of her previous posts. Sarah sells lots of her lovely things on etsy, you must go and have a look.
I thought I would also give you an update on the Granny squares. With 19 done, there's still a long way to go, but I am still enjoying it and think it will be a lovely project to crack on with now the nights are pulling in again (Boo Hoo!) My mum had a look at her stash and sent me a big parcel full of wool oddments, some of which were jumpers she knitted for the boys when they were babies, so each time I look at my blanket it will remind me of those days.
So we are into September now, the boys went back to school on Tuesday and the Summer seems all but over. It has been another strange Summer hasn't it ? - My thoughts are now turning to Christmas, I like to start my christmas shopping early, or at least get ideas together, and with lots of christmassy craft projects lined up for those long winter nights, I'm sure it will be here before I know it!

Hello Nat
Lovely to catch up with you, I've been thinking of you recently with your granny squares :: they are looking fabulous! LOVE the colours and the way the brights zing out against the beautiful pink. Its going to be a wonderful project for the cooler months as it looks so summery!
Our knit and natter group is starting again after a summer break, I'm looking forward to getting my hex's going again over a latte.
Still up for a meet up whenever you fancy a trip across, give me a holler
:o)

Did you say the dreaded Christmas word!! I'm still hopeful for a bit if summer.
Love the granny squares. I've just started learning to crochet, think it'll be a while before I'm ready for those though!

Love the granny squares, wish I could crochet. I'm glad I'm not the only person to be thinking of christmas. I've got lots of project ideas for presents.
Nat,
You're living part of my 'blog' dream....crocheting granny squares!! They're looking great. I don't know how you all find the time? You and Lucy at Attic 24 seem to be some kind of Wonder Women!! Amazing!
Hi Nat. now have crichet book but other things have overtaken me. I am involved in a Halloween swap which is taking up quite a bit of my time. If you are interested in Xmas crafts then check out the fab book in my blog by Tone Finnanger. Don't know what to make first and fear the crochet might have to take a back seat for a while. Dev X
oops..not sure what critchet is!! lol.
Hi I've tagged you, rules on my blog.
I love your granny squares. The colours are really nice togther. Why is it I am never happy with my colours even though I stand for ages choosing the colours ?
Love the beach banner.

Hi Natalie,
I see that I am not the only one whose thoughts are turning to Christmas!
Isn't it interesting how once the summer is behind us and September is here, it seems like time speeds up as we race towards the festive season?
