A photo of a white feather on a brown background. On the right is the text of a poem titled Gatherers We are the gatherers The ones who pick up sticks and stones And old wasp’s nest fallen by the door of the barn Walnuts with holes that look like eyes of owls Bits of shells not whole but lovely in their brokenness We are the ones who bring home empty eggs of birds And place them on a small glass shelf To keep for what ? How long ? It matters not What matters is the gathering The pockets filled with remnants of a day evaporated The traces of a certain memory A lingering smell A smile that came with the shell (Written by Nina Bagley)

I started trying to use some bits of random leftover yarn to crochet a 'make it up as I go' top...Sort of hitting a wall as too low on all the yarns used so far so it's on the naughty step while I try to summon some inspiration! 🧶
Crocheted currently crop length sleeveless top in shades of blue and white/cream. Constructed from squares and triangles using cotton and bamboo 4 ply yarns. Top is on a messy bed with a grey sheet and a pulled back purple blanket on it.

OH is rarely away overnight. He is tonight, and was when the last storm hit, too...! It's almost 5:30 am and I've not slept yet... Arghh.. 😬

I'm looking for other crafters who still haven't taken pics of projects they finished in 2024...please tell me I'm not alone?! 🙄😂 🧶

Every year since my niece was born, I've made a tree decoration for her. Definitely cutting it fine this year, but I'm seeing her tomorrow, and after a spate of very 'interesting times' recently, I'm chuffed to have him finished at all! 🙄😂😁 🧶

I haven't got around to getting any photos of recent makes yet, so I'm doing another 'Throwback Thursday' to a blanket I made for my niece when she moved into her first big girl bed 🙂
Pattern is 'Sweetheart Ripple'

I haven't been crafting as much as usual lately, so decided to do 'Throwback Thursday' of a project I made for my sister a few years ago 🙂
Pattern is 'The Rose Cardigan' by Gillian Nestor.
I subbed out the original yarns due to availability.
🧶 #crafting #crochet
3 images from different angles of a crocheted cardigan, hanging on a mannequin in front of a light coloured background. The cardigan has an open front, long puff sleeves, and is made mainly from salmon pink squares which have dusty green leaves and 3d red roses on. It's edged in salmon pink, and has some rose triangles near the neckline to shape the front.

It's a snuggle up in the warm, catching a few rays of winter sunshine through the window, occasionally peeking at the snow outside, kinda day 🙂❄️☀️
