Ooh I am feeling rather full and sleepy after a big family dinner at my sisters this weekend! I think I may need a nap! My DS’ are home too so it’s a busier household here from normal when it’s just me and my DH rattling round here! Not much time for making granny squares!
This week has been very exciting though, as my new sewing machine arrived! I am in the process of writing about it and will have pics and a review next week! I am already loving the extras on it and spending time getting to know all the new features is very enjoyable.
I’ve done quite a bit of crochet squares towards a new blanket!
getting the squares ready!
and I bought two new books! Both of these seem to be very, very good at first glance!
my new books
I can’t wait to start adding some granny square variations to the blanket and start making some more bags! Of all the sewing I do, I think I love making bags the most!
Well that’s it for now – I am full of pie and cupcakes and I need a granny nap, never mind a granny square!
best wishes to all the handmade mondayers celebrating Easter!
See you next week.

Have fun with your new sewing machine, you will be whizzing up bags in next to no time! Your crochet square pile is getting bigger.
Love the colourful granny squares, new books are always so exciting finding new projects to try.
I love my sewing machine, I’ve learnt so many things just playing with it, and I love the different colours of your granny squares.
Those squares are so lovely and colourful, they’re going to make the cutest blanket 🙂 I look forward to seeing what you create with your new sewing machine! x
I love granny square blankets, so cosy and colourful. Have fun with your machine and your books 🙂
