I often say that I get so much colour inspiration from nature... and while for me that’s often colours I see whilst walking along the coast, by the sea or across the cliff tops, I was happy to design this cushion for @simplycrochetmag (Issue 79) using one of nature’s best colours!! 😍 Yes, Leopard print just has to be up there with many of nature’s finest colour moments! 🐆 Such a beautiful print that is of course best on the animal itself but I had fun trying to replicate it in crochet... 😊❤️🐆🐆🐆 As some of you may know there have been many discussions about colour and diversity in people within the online knitting and crochet community over the last week which I only became aware of over the weekend... thanks to Rosina @zeensandroger for nudging me to put something into words myself... I just want to say that EVERYONE should be made to feel welcome in this creative community... one of the greatest joys for me during my blanket ‘crochet along’ last year was that people joined in from all over the world - over 30 countries that I’m aware of... I love that crochet really can bring people together... 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

The weekend is here and I’m happy about that! 😁❤️🌅🌅🌅 Hope you all have a good one...

I’m just loving this months issue of @insidecrochet magazine (Issue 109) which has a focus on mindfulness and the wonderful benefits of crochet and crafting... 😊💕❤️ I have hosted crochet and ‘wellbeing’ workshops in the past as part of my work as a nurse in the NHS. So when the @insidecrochet team asked me to take part in a back page feature for this issue I felt very privileged! 😊💙🌊🌊🌊

Even on the greyest of days this view is beautiful... the ‘Seven Sisters’ - a famous coastal landmark of seven chalk cliffs not too far from where we live and the perfect place for a walk today. 😊🐶🌊 And look at the seaglass pieces I found... much bigger pieces than what I usually find on the beach nearest to our home...amazing how the tides do that! 😊💙🌊🌊🌊

I was asked by lovely Gea @het_kleurige_haakhuis what I was making this time last year... well I was in the midst of designing my crocheted pebble covers for my workshop at @thecrochetsanctuary 😊💙 I didn’t share this photo until after the workshop which was February time. As a designer I often have to wait before I can show you what’s been on my hooks... 😊 Happy Saturday Everyone! We’re planning to go on a walk later to a famous coastal landmark which isn’t too far from where we live... I’ll share a photo if I get any good ones! 😊💙🌊🌊🌊🌊

Happy New Year!! I hope 2019 is a healthy and creative year for you all...today’s a good day to announce that I’ll be hosting another blanket crochet-along a little later this year... yay!! 😁 I’m in the planning and designing stages right now and it won’t be launching until April... I’ll be using @stylecraftyarns ‘Special Aran’ for this blanket and Stylecraft have kindly provided me with all the yarn I need... I’ll keep you posted over the coming months! It’s going to be fun turning this gorgeous pile of yarn into a blanket...😊💙💚💛💙💚💛
