I've not got much to show this week.
I am half way through a scarf and 7/8 of the way through a crochet cushion.
I've not had much free time this week with one thing and another but I have managed to make a few more candles
(it's a little distraction from making cushions!).
I have made a couple of little bits but I can't show them yet as they are gifts for Birthday Swaps and I am also preparing for the Easter Swap organised by Hookin' with LaaLaa so I am gathering and making things for that. I did manage to knock up a little pair of earrings for my Knitting Guru Lynda;
On the subject of Lynda I received more lovely gifts in the post from her this week, just because (arent they the best sort of gifts?) want to see what I got... 
A wonderful stash of unusual knitting magazines from the USA with some fab patterns and ideas, I won't show you all the ones I love, so here are just a few of the treasures within the pages,
Eeeeekkk gorgeous cushions!!!
Anyone need a knitted goat?
Isn't this stunning, imagine lounging on this on a warm summers day
Fab or what?
I am now the proud owner of this lovely little cross stitch and felt mirror pouch for my handbag.
It's just cute as butter and far too good to get slung into my bag and lost in the morass so it's now living on my shelf of messy wonderfulness in the lounge.
These little beauties look too good to use, but I have had a stressful week at work and I do love a soothing bath; how beautiful would it be to soak with these...
... I bet I drift off.
Thanks again lovely lady xXx
In other news; I can't quite belive that it is almost one year since I started my blog, so in honour of such an auspicious occasion I have a giveaway planned, I will blog it on Saturday!
