Yay Crochet Giveaway

Oh winter-time, how I love thee so.  The opportunity to wrap myself in glorious warming pieces of crochet bliss.

After eye-spying a friend's pinterest boards, I found these lovely little gems.
And I think they're just the cutest little winter warmers I've ever come across. Toasty Tootsies oh my!

The pattern for these little gems, entitled 'Ladies Milky Slippers' (how perfect indeed) can be found on Etsy here and is created by the lovely Vita from Mon Petit Violon

I simply couldn't resist a little bit of milky warmth, and had to make myself these gorgeous little slippers. Which, is exactly what I did this rainy weekend.

And, as I mentioned, there are treats in store for all the wonderful people who have hurrah'd and hooray'd me on this expedition into blogging.  As a thank you for your kind words, support and love, every single person who would like a little milky goodness can have some.

All you have to do is comment on this post before Monday next week, with the measurement of your footsies, your favourite colour, and your email address, and I will whip you up some slippers of your very own.

Does that sound good?

Thanks you wonderful people.

Much love ..xx

This Week I'm grateful for... a little rain

This week I am grateful for a little rain.  For the whole weekend.  It meant that I had a perfectly acceptable reason to get under the blanket and stay on the couch. For the whole weekend.  It meant that balls of yarn were scattered at my feet, and my hook in hand, and crochet magic was woven. 
It meant that the sky was a lovely shade of gunpowder grey, and that every piece of greenery in my garden shone with a great vibrance and dewey lustre. I had a granny square knee rug, a pair of super-slippers, and copious cups of tea to warm my bones, so a sweet weekend indeed.

On the note of crochet treats, I happen to have unintentionally gifted my camera cord to a new home, and so while there are plenty of crochet tid-bits to share, the camera to computer relationship is not a happening thing.  But, there is a surprise in store very shortly, (for all four of you! hah!)in relation to said crochet treats, so perhaps under wraps is a good way to keep it for now. Just wait and seeeeeee....

Thanks be to Maxabella for letting me share my gratitudes, albeit in a tardy fashion. I love your space and your pretty face. If you want to see what the world is grateful for,go look here.

Love, love, love ..xx

Let's Go Shopping - The Warmth

Okay, so I'm really new around these blogging parts, (very new indeed) so if you're here, it's most likely you've found this post through Brisstyle, so let's save the explanation of what 'Let's Go Shopping' is all about, cause I'm figuring you already know right?

If perchance, you don't, head over to the Brisstyle blog, find out all about what these funky peeps are doing, and get up on your soapbox and shout out loud ya'll!

Enough of the chit-chat, let's go shopping.....

You'd be a fool if you thought winter was on it's way out, not yet my pretties, and rather than be a fool, I'd prefer to be toastie warm, and kitted out in some of these fine finds. An ode to chill, in neutral tones (so it appears as I re-examine my finds)

Stay warm, stay joyful, stay free ..xx
