crochet a rainbow

When I signed up for Crochet a Rainbow back in January, I always intended to post off my first lot at the end of March. That time has come and I only have 12 made but then it is better than nothing. As our weather finally starts to cool, it will be more conducive to crocheting.

When Sarah first put the call out, these blankets were for the victims of the Queensland and Victorian floods. Since then there has been more devastation - Christchurch and Japan.

The first load of blankets is on its way to Japan, Sarah blogged about it last night. One of my sister-in-law works in Japan. She was here in Australia on March 11. Her return was delayed but now she is scheduled to return this Thursday.

the week that was

It has been a good week.

gorgeous days,

slower pace,

time to smell the roses as my mother would say.

(Although I don't grow roses.)

Lots of blue sky and pretty sunsets.

Bananas are $12/kg in the shops, lucky I have a stash in the freezer so banana muffins and banana smoothies were on the menu this week.

Rain is predicted tomorrow :(

Oops!

Some over-enthusiastic trimming of ends taking place :(

what's in the box.....

only a little bit of craftiness going on around here!

it's my nan's birthday (she is 97 today) so a twirly swirly was in order

plus a cute flower brooch.

what is a birthday without cupcakes?

I am rather pleased with how it came out....

also I made one for my mum (she doesn't want a brooch)

it is a pretty variegated pink, but that is not showing up too well.
