we're back at it again!

Well, it seems like forever since we wrote the last post. The summer holidays have been and gone. The warmer weather is fading and dark nights are creeping in. Good! Dark nights make me want to stay in, snuggled up on the sofa with a hook and some yarn.
We been tentatively doing some yarn bombing. Small things. Easy things to get us back into the swing of things. A small dolly with a small yet powerful message. A love heart with a love letter which has already been stolen away. The idea that someone stole away her heart makes me smile. A bumblybee hiding away for the winter. Maybe he'll be joined by some more bees to hibernate through the winter? We shall see.
We'll be adding images in the near future. Keep calling back. Tell your friends. Keep the smiles going. That's what its all about.

Silverdale this evening....

Just had a note from a friend to say she's been busy again.
She said,

"Sewed together all the odd squares and shapes I've practised my crochet on, appliqued (roughly!) "Silverdale" onto it and sewed it onto the bench at the entrance to the village, by the mining memorial. When I was taking photos afterwards, a man driving past did a double-take and gave me a thumbs up :D"

We loving the fact that a random guy gave the thumbs up. Making people smile even before we've left the scene of the crime! Winner.
Here it is in all its glory. Enjoy!

and here's the close up....
