Elephant pillow

Hello dear ladies!

I hope this post finds you all well and, if you are in the Northern hemisphere, enjoying the last of the summer.

I always find this time of year a bit difficult...the threshers are out in the field next to my house and that always signals summer coming to an end :( The mornings and evenings are feeling cooler even though the sun, when it is out (!) is still very hot.

Anyway, I promised you some crochet...so here we are!

This is a really quick little pillow I made out of some Aran weight cotton from my stash.


He was meant to be unadorned but that just wouldn't do, so I added a little flower...



 I love how his trunk curls up a little!


The pattern for this little chap is here

The Nordic blanket is coming on well and I am also making another soft toy...oh and a baby quilt!!! Arrrggghhhh

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my last post! I had such fun doing it and glad you enjoyed it.

I am taking the boy to visit my sister by the sea and we are looking forward to that.
 
Then back home for new school shoes, haircut and getting ready for Year 4!!!!
 
Enjoy your week xxx

Oh dear...it's been a while dear ladies. So sorry for being so rubbish at keeping up with my blogging and visits.

This is what has been going on.....

I've been doing a lot of this....


Plenty of this.....



Too much of this....


 and this....


 And way too much of this...


Not nearly enough of this...

 None of this....


 Very little of this...


 While some people seem to do a lot of this...



And my house still looks like this....




So I've been feeling a bit like this.....


Thank you so much for all your lovely comments - they mean such a lot to me! And welcome to new followers...I promise to have some crochet to show you soon!

Enjoy your weekend xxx
