Bloomin CAL

Hello Ladies,

I went away on Holiday with projects to hand and in mind.

I'd finished my Mums blanket and had really enjoyed making it.

When I came back I wasn't happy with the projects I'd taken, I kept

laying them out, trying to get motivated. But they ended up being

undone or shoved in a basket to deal with later.

Then I decided to do some Christmas motifs.

I sat and did them on

and off for a few days, but even them I couldn't settle too.

Even though I'd made enough for some bunting I just put them away

In a Baggie.

I wondered if it was because I had too many projects wizzing around

in my head and I had crochet overload. I even went and got all

my yarn out and sat in front of it. Pondering.

I looked at all my yarn, I have so much, all different colours and

textures. I needed to make something with what I had and there

be no buying involved ( well maybe a little if I have to add to it).

Then I remembered that when I joined Crissie and Marianne's CAL

they originally started Bloomin CAL with a hexagon flower motif from

Nicki Trench's book "Crochet with a Flowers".

So I went and dug out my copy, found the flower motif and made one.

This was it, this was what I needed to crochet. They are so lovely to do

and they look amazing.

I would like to make enough for the double bed, in the girls old room.

Haven't yet worked out how many I would need, but I would like to think

I'll stick at it and finish it.

Have a good weekend everyone.
