The gentle art of crochet
provides
hours of creativity playing with colours
 |
| Bridal gift |
mental stimulation as I learn new patterns
 |
| Gift for a baby girl |
and
huge satisfaction
as I see balls of yarn turning into useful items to sell
 |
| Heart is a variety of colours |
but so much more than that
it gives me something to get up for each day
a sense of being at work when I can't
it has given me crochet colleagues and customers
to chat to all around the globe
and is a wonderful distraction from pain and fatigue.
Even if I am sat in my pj's
and haven't been out of the house for days
crochet keeps me sane!
Thank you for the many lovely emails and comments
I have received here in blog land and on
and
I read them all
and really appreciate the time you all take to write.
It's great to be back in this happy place!
It has helped me along meeting many of you
who also cope with chronic illness
and helps me to cope as I start my new journey
along this unknown path of Lupus.

| Granny Sweet Heart by Nancy Drew |
This week has been all about hearts here at Patchwork House
restocking my little Etsy shop with gifts for you to buy!
I enjoying making this quick little heart,
and have been working with a fabulous cotton that does not split!
comes in 29 shades and I highly recommend it!
The pattern for the Granny Sweet Heart is available free on
Putting together colour recipes is my joy,
conjuring up combinations that will appeal for different occasions
A gift for a bride
A gift for a baby girl
A gift for a baby boy
A new home gift
Whatever the occasion these hearts are just the job!
So it's back to my hook now
This weekend is looking purple!
I am working on a plum starburst flower blanket which is an order
(Pattern by Jane Brocket in the book The simple art of knitting)
and a lilac ripple pram blanket which is for sale

Thank you for sharing this post. I too have spent the last few days on the sofa, seemingly watching life pass me by as my family has to carry on without me. I crochet to stay sane, and hate the days when I can't even do this due to the dreadful random pain of fibromyalgia. Love your colourful and uplifting posts, and hope your flare up calms down very soon.
Your hearts are very pretty, such lovely colours. I love the colours of yarn in your basket under the ripple, could you please tell me what they are? And I agree with you crochet is amazing, it keeps me on a more even keel.
I love that crochet gives you all this! 💓 I find it calms my depressive mind, gives it breathing space to feel a little stronger, sadly my tendonitis is playing up so am on a go slow roll right now, soooo frustrating 😕 Keep doing what you're doing, Heather, you're such an inspiration to so many of us! 👏🏼💞
hello gorgeous design
These hearts are gorgeous! So glad crochet gives you so much joy when dealing with your illness. xx
It's always a pleasure to see pictures of your colourful creations and they're a great inspiration to me as I love to crochet and have a 1 year young Etsy shop still waiting to kick off. Have a fabulous day and looking forward to seeing more of your lovely creations. xx Berit
Hi, just love your crochet projects. I'm a self taught crocheter, and i'm beginning to have the confidence to try new patterns, thanks to seeing what you and others do on their blogs. Keep up the good work. Janice x http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com
I really love those hearts! I think they'd make lovely bunting for the crochet corner in my kitchen. :)
