HAPPY EASTER

{HAPPY EASTER}

Trust that all my blogging buddies are keeping well and are in the swing of things for 2016.
My sincere apologies for being missing in action so far this year, but life in general has kept me quite busy and away from blog therapy. I have been busy with quite a bit of crafty commission work which puts food on the table of course has priority over the fun things in life.  So I hope that I am forgiven not visiting and commenting on your awesome creations.  But hopefully with time I will manage to pop in with you all.

This is one of a big commissioned Easter Card order I did this month, Using a beautiful COTTAGE ROSE image.  The crochet flower centers have been made for me by a very special friend.  The brads and design papers are from my stash.




I have also been busy with some crocheting projects for relaxation and love joining a local crochet craft group in our neighbourhood on a fortnight basis.  Here is one of my current projects i.e. a hexagon project which will probably end up being a throw for our bed.
