Keeping Britain warm!

This winter I've enjoyed making something new

Following the discovery

 of some good quality cheap hotties

 in my local bargain store

I've been busy creating cosy hot water bottles

which have been extremely popular!

stripes

granny squares

small and big

a cosy polo neck

bright rainbow colours

and pretty granny chic

Keeping GB warm!

I hope you are keeping warm as it is snowing again today!

So here is an update of some new blankets I've made

I have enjoyed trying something new!

A beautiful daisy square from

tillie tulip blog

Hope you like it too!

Happy Mothers Day to you all

Raspberry and Violet Cream

Happy Sunday to you all!

Here is my view at Patchwork House

a new creation for a young girl

in pinks and purples

being a touch on the OCD side I don't do random

so much planning was in order!

oh what pleasure using my new Cath notebook

this has been a very pretty week 

with piles of raspberry and violet starburst flowers

 in every combination possible!

then came the cream

oooooohhhh it is so rich!

and I'm sure you will all agree

 this is going to be a gorgeous pretty blanket

I just cant wait to post it off and hear the reaction!

Have a lovely evening my friends

means a lovely day in relaxing with crochet

 is in order after church.

Granny stripe cowl

Today I'm working on a granny stripe cowl in autumn colours which will be a birthday present for my friend. I'm wearing mine today and thinking its time I made some more in a variety of colours to coordinate with various outfits! They are so cosy!

Have a lovely day!

Gorgeous Granny Goodness

Life at Patchwork House this last week . . .

I will let the pictures tell the story

Such a happy week!

I have loved

 the colours, the richness,

 the vintage feel,

 the granny square goodness,

 the join as you go texture,

 the border

 and in short am very sad to be posting this treasure

 to its new owner tomorrow!!!

 But I know It will be loved

 and is going to a good home!

I am loving being back in blogland

 and hearing from you lovely ladies again,

 do stop and say hi!

Back to my hooky!

All for the love of Cath . . . . .

Once upon a time there was a lady who loved all things Cath ...

 (I do believe there are a few of us???)

Look what the postman brought me!

Cotton yarn in delicious colours

Armed with a pattern I had found on the internet

which you can find 

HERE

I spent a wonderful hooky evening

Traditional pattern

and am delighted with the results

Coaster set

I will be making these to sell soon,

 in sets of 6 mixed colours or to any combination of your choice. 

You can contact me to order via email or my facebook page.

Back to my granny blanket making now . . .

I will be posting the progress I am making 

and sharing the gorgeous granny goodness tomorrow!

See you then

A little something for me

Time off from school is precious

 and

 this holiday whilst taking a week off from orders

 I have enjoyed a little selfish hooky!

Who doesn't love a bit of granny goodness?

When I saw many of my pals on Instagram coming up with gorgeous 

cowls, snoods and scarves I knew I just had to have a go!

The pattern I chose to use was written by the lovely Kath over at

Inverleith blog. 

How exciting to rummage through my stash and find scraps to match with my different coats

This is what I came up with!

I am thrilled with my new cowl, it is so soft and snuggly.

I do encourage you

 to have a go

It really is very easy and suitable for any beginners

 and any experienced hooky types will love the simplicity

 knocking one up in a couple of sittings!

So go on over to Inverleith Blog NOW!

Bye for now ... back to my granny blanket

Colour Palettes from Design Seeds

 have helped inspire my work so much this year

 and I want to give credit to the wonderful excitement that they give,

Design Seeds

 just making me want to delve into my yarn stash

 and come up with yummy concoctions like these , , , , , 

So what better to make than

 gorgeous granny squares

 with these rich tapestry colours

which will in due course be made into a blanket

of the most cosy kind . . . 

Back to my hooky now

more tomorrow!

Good night

After Christmas prettiness

Birthday flowers

 that I'm enjoying while I crochet

 here at Patchwork House

Hello my lovely bloggy friends and a Happy New Year to you all!

The Patchwork Heart is back in blogland

 ♥ ♥ ♥

yes I've been a bad blogger since I discovered Instgram.

But I have missed you all, so here I am back with a new look!

2012 a year of crochet

This past year has mainly been a year of crochet.

I have switched my attentions from patchwork and upcycling
 to all things hooky.

So you can await a stream of yarny goodness!

My refreshed blog

 will be mainly photos 

with the aim of

 inspiring and encouraging

 more of you to take up that hook!

I look forward to catching up with you all

Easter Makes

A glimpse of what I have been enjoying this Easter

here at Patchwork House

♥ ✿ ♥

Mr Pwk Ht and I enjoyed a lovely spring walk in the woods

to collect the twigs for our Easter tree

Oh how I enjoyed last weekend

unwrapping all my treasures to hang and pretty up my window

♥ ✿ ♥

Sitting enjoying its prettiness

I decided to add some of the lovely crocheted flowers

that I have seen everywhere around in blogland

They were so quick and easy and used up tiny scraps or yarn

I used the pattern out of my

Nicki Tench book ~ cute and easy crochet

but you will also find a tutorial written by

Lucy at Attic24

♥ ✿ ♥

I have been enjoying

relaxing and snuggling

under the granny stripe blanket I am making

look what the postman brought me

Homespun Style

Selina Lake

my Easter treat!
