Araucania - Patagonia

It is at this time every year when I get an itch to start my crochet again.  I always start with a simple scarf or hat for one of my daughters so our newest delivery was perfectly timed and we just love the colours.


Araucania Patagonia is a 100% cotton yarn that is made in Peru and hand dyed in Chile.  We have 12 gorgeous shades in stock at a great price of £4.95 per 100g hank plus free postage when you order 10 hanks of the same shade.

The Wedding

I have been quite neglectful with this blog lately and for that I apologize.  My summer was chaotic, but fantastic.  I got married!



After 13 years and 2 children we figured the time was right.  It was the perfect day.  Although, I would like to add for anyone planning on getting married, don't leave it till a few weeks before the big day to start making your bridesmaid dresses, I was fortunate enough to have very patient and pretty bridesmaids.

Following the wedding we packed up the car and drove down to France.  Disney was our first stop, happy kids = happy honeymooners.


Then due to the fact that our two little girls are fascinated by history, mainly WW2, we spent our second week in Normandy.  Two museums a day and an endless amount of bunkers and batteries, they loved it...




and I got a chance to do some stitching that did not involve satin or chiffon nor even need a sewing machine...

work in progress

Heaven.

Now though we are home, the girls are back at school, my husband and I are back to work and I have over 200 new fabrics waiting for me to put online....
