ATTIC24: THE HERE AND NOW 9 hours ago · Last week I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine about the business of how to return to ones blog when one has been absent for a period of time.

Hello!

AUTUMN FEELS
Well hello there my lovely Attic visitors, it's so good to see you again! Thank you very much for stopping by after I've been away from this space for a silly amount of time, my break was totally unplanned but it seems life had other ideas for me these past few weeks. October has been a bit up and down, a real mixed blend of feels and my main aim has been to take one day at a time and try to look after my physical and mental well being. I find Autumn such a strange season to get to grips with as regardless of how visually beautiful it is, I really struggle with the reduced light levels and the underlying feelings of melancholy. It's an odd thing for me as I am generally such an upbeat person and am passionate about celebrating the changing seasons, but this time of year just feels tricky to navigate. October has been extremely wet for the most part, so the days when the sun has come out to play have felt like the greatest gift. I've been pretty unwell for the past few weeks and have spent a lot of time at home, but short walks into town during dry spells have felt really good. I've had to go slow as my energy levels have been extremely low, but I've appreciated the cool fresh air and the chance to very gentlystretch my legs.
Today I woke up feeling very much better (thank heavens!) and have spent some time in my studio which was so good. I do miss my blog when I've been away for a while, it's become such an important part of my life during the past decade. So as it's been a few weeks since I opened my Attic window, I thought it would be nice to have a grand ol' catch up and share a little of what I've been up to, both at home andaway.
Just after Yarndale, J and I had the opportunity to escape for a very short break away just the two of us. It was such a blessing, a quick jaunt up into Wensleydale to stay in one of our favourite villages {the very picturesque and atmospheric Askrigg} and
walk a couple of our favourite trails in the Yorkshire Dales. It was very lush but incredibly wet, light rain falling almost non-stop and the ground completely waterlogged. Can you see in the above photo what looks like a small stream flowing at the bottom? Well that was actually the footpath! We had to wade through that little lot which was a very wet and soggy business - thank goodness for my hand knit socks which kept my feet reasonably warm even though my boots were absolutely sodden. Whole fields had become picturesque lakes, but we managed to navigate the paths and enjoy the peacefulness of the landscape with very few people about. It was such a tonic, and arriving at our cosy bed and breakfast after miles of wet wandering was pure bliss. We had a delicious dinner and a few beers beside the open fire in one of our favourite pubs (The Kings Arms)
followed by an early night in one of the most comfortable beds I'veever slept in.
We returned home the following afternoon, so it really was a short break (30 hours in total) but it was enough to recharge my batteries after the whirlwind that was Yarndale. I think short breaks away from home are bloomin' marvelous things, and J and I are very fortunate to have his wonderful parents close by to take care of the Little People for us from time to time. I appreciate it very much I have to say. A few days after Wensleydale and I was preparing for another trip away, this time on my own. This is something that has become a fixture in my calendar in recent years, my annual trip to London to visit the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace. I traveled down by train, meeting up with my fab friend Christinebefore
heading to the show in the late afternoon. We never seem to time it right and always end up rushing around trying to see as much as possible before it closes - it's a giant show with a huge number of exhibitors and displays and of course there is always a lot of socialising to be done! I stopped to chat to my good friends at Stylecraft Yarns, said hello to other lovely yarny folks I know and introduced myself to new folks too. I had a very brief but exciting little meeting with the two gorgeous ladies who run this company..... ...this is the Historial Sampler Companywho design the most
beautiful cross stitch and tapestry kits. I'm excited to be doing some design work with them next year - during the past year or two I've been love love loving cross stitch and designing in this medium is super-exciting I have to say. I'll keep you posted! The other reason for my annual trip to the Knit and Stitching show is down to a little something known as the British Knitting and Crochet Awards . This was my fourth year to attend, and I absolutely love that I now know many of the other lovely nominees and award winners. From designers and authors, to bloggers, yarn producers and shop owners, this is a super group of passionate and talented ladies and gents who I am madly happy to call friends. In the above photo you can see me in the middle (looking pretty smiley and contented!), Christine on the right (who won a highly commended award for her book "More Super Socks ") and my lovely friend Fiona on the left who owns an amazing local yarn shop in Harrogate called "Yarn Etc ". Fiona's shop won a highly commended award for the North of England region, such a well deserved win for all the hard work she pours into her shop and local yarn community. We had a fun time catching up and celebrating, then out for a meal afterwards with other shop owners and retailers who have become friends over the years, gosh I can't remember the last time I was out after eleven o'clock, it felt very grown up! I am really, really happy to tell you that I won first place in the "Favourite Crochet Designer" category, and gained a highly commended in the "Favourite Crochet Blog" category. I would continue to do what I do here on my blog regardless of any votes being cast my way, simply because it makes me unbelievably happy to share my creativity and inspire others. But recognition is still a truly wonderful thing, and I am so so grateful for the community that surrounds me and the friendships that continue to grow from it. Thank you very, very much if you took the trouble to vote for me, I appreciate it very much. After a night on the town in London, followed by a yummy hotel breakfast and an extended morning coffee/pastry/chatter session with Christine, I left the city behind and headed home............. ................not home to the Attic, but a journey South-West to my childhood home town in Dorset. Hooray for spontaneous decisions and trains that take you where yourheart desires!
I'd decided to spend the weekend in Dorset as it just so happened to be my Birthday, and my annual pull to be beside the sea was as strongas ever.
My Birthday fell on a Saturday this year and there was only one place I wanted to go - my new favourite cafe by the sea at West Bay for a spot of brunch. Yeah, I'm still firmly on my brunch kick, I am quite addicted to this leisurely weekendish meal and take advantage of it as often as possible. So I was without J and the Little Peeps which felt a bit odd, but I trundled down to the sea with my Dad and Lady B to settle cosily into Rise cafe . Gosh, I do so love this place! Brunch was awesome and although the weather was very disappointing (it did not stop raining the whole weekend I was there, honestly, non-stop wet stuff falling from the clouds), I was still able to sit and swoon over the seaside views. My birthday passed in a blur of sea air, good food, good company, a trip to the local pub followed by cake, prosecco and cosy crochet sofa time, which was pretty perfect. On the Sunday morning I had the pleasure of returning to West Bay to meet up with a group of local crocheters. This lovely group of Dorset ladies meets up a few times a year as a result of knowing each other online via the "Hooked on Attic24" facebook group.
Isn't that just the loveliest thing? The get together was organised by Sandra who writes her blog Daffodil Wild, and it just so happened that the Autumn meet coincided with my own short jaunt down to Dorset. How could I stay away?! It was a fabulous few hours, loads of excited chatter, coffee, cake and crochet and lots and lots of blanket squishing. Thank you lovely Dorset ladies for making me feel so welcome, it really was a wonderful way for me to round off my time in Dorset before I had to whizz back up North again. I arrived back late on Sunday night, exhausted but glad to be home after four days away. I had kind of forgotten it had been my birthday whilst I was gone and enjoyed opening some surprise cards and gifts from the Little People. I'm happy to report that chocolate featured heavily in the gift giving this year, how lucky am I? And in case you were curious - I've managed fifty one glorious years pootling around on planet earth. Pretty happy about that! When I woke up on the morning after coming back from London/Dorset, I did not feel at all well. I knew straight away that it wasn't just tiredness from travelling, but something much yuckier taking over my body. Nothing serious you understand, just a cold, but my goodness what a beastly virus it turned out to be. Last week I really felt pretty unwell, that cold really did a number on my energy levels and I've barely felt like doing anything, just the absolute bare essentials. I've been sleeping badly at night, then falling asleep on the sofa at odd times during the day, trying to keep up with Mum stuff, the shopping, cooking, laundry, school run, homework type of stuff which still needs to happen regardless of howbad the body feels.
This week I've been feeling a little better, and J and I managed a short walk at Bolton Abbey on a day when it actually stopped raining and the sun came out. Real, actual sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glorious, it really was. We spotted a heron soaking up the rays on the opposite side of theriver.....
....and the woodland was looking super-pretty wearing it's earlyAutumn colours.
I enjoyed the walk enormously, although I was pretty much dragging by the end of it and so glad of the café where good coffee was inhaled for essential revival purposes. We walked in our local woods at the weekend with Little B in tow - actually it was his idea to take a walk on Saturday morning, with the promise of a stop off in town afterwards for hot chocolate. It was a tad muddy, but delightful all the same, and for the umpteenth time I gave thanks for this beautiful patch of tree-filled land which is there for us to enjoy right on our doorstep. So........that's about all that's been going on here this month - a couple trips away, some serious germs to contend with and a few short local walks. Autumn has well and truly arrived. I've still got some Yarndale things to share with you all, I've not forgotten about that and was part way through creating the blog post just before I became unwell. I'll try and get that finished off and published very soon - it's half term next week which I absolutely can't wait for, I really am longing for some slow days of familytime.
Back

OCTOBER 03, 2019
YARNDALE AFTER AND BEFORE I spent most of the day alone in my studio today, something that hasn't happened in a long while. I bought fresh stems of sunflowers for my table, ordered up a latté and sat down with my lengthy email catch-up list and my laptop all set to Get Things Done. I figured that today was day four post Yarndale and I should be attempting to regain some normality, but the reality is that I am still in recovery and energy levels are pretty low. So I sat and admired my flowers and gazed at my tidy shelves, sipped my coffee and read through so many lovely messages written in my visitors book over the weekend, and allowed the gratitude to gently wash over me. It was a good, good day. I've slept a lot these past few days, sometimes crawling into bed at odd times with all my clothes on just desperate for some immediate shuteye. It's been an intense and emotional week but oh my goodness, totally worth it. Yarndale was amazing! I was going to try and write up a big Yarndale post for you today, but I'm not quite there with my thoughts yet, so for now I'm going to share a few snippets of things from the days last week. I tidied up my studio at the start of last week in preparation for it being open to the public. My shelves are still a bit chaotic but I sorted out a massive pile of yarn to give away (felt so good!), cleared out a load of rubbish, cleaned my floors and dusty surfaces and generally regained a sense of cosy order which pleased me enormously. I adore my little studio room, it means the world to me and I enjoy sharing it when visitors come to town. It's a working room and not a showroom and as a result it's often a little bit on the messy side, but it has a really good vibe and I always feel inspired and uplifted after spending time there. As you know, I put up all my lamp post wraps in the rain last week, a fairly big job which took around three and a half hours to complete. I do quite enjoy it actually, it's quite physical work but not that hard. I climb up my step ladders and secure the wraps top and bottom with cable ties, then a long seam is stitched down the back to hold the wraps securely in place. They look so good when they are done, and I know how much visitors and local residents enjoy them. I took them all down on Monday afternoon, they were very soggy so I gave them a wash in the machine and a low heat tumble dry and they are now all packed away until next year. The bears.....oh my heart ♥️ such an amazing, heart-warming project and a humongous success at the weekend. I took lots of photos so will share much more of those when I write up my Yarndale post proper next week. I'm awaiting the final total for the fundraising, but I know it went well and the lovely volunteers at Mercy Ships were blown away by the fabulousness of our crochet and knittingcommunity.
I realised today when I was looking through photos from September that I didn't show you my floral headband, how very slack of me?! I shared on Instagram, but not here on my blog, so thought you might like to see this quick little pre-Yarndale make. I fancied making myself something fun and yarny to wear and after a bit of pondering I settled on a hair decoration. I've seen a few beautiful crocheted "Frida Crowns" in the interwebs (this one inparticular
caught my eye) but I didn't want mine to be quite so sticky-uppy if you get what I mean. Less of a crown and more of a headband I think. I happen to have a very small head, so bought a very inexpensive narrow child's alice band from a local shop (this kind of thing ) and crocheted some little cotton flowers and leaves to decorate. I used oddments of Ricorumi Cotton DK, and crocheted some May Roses, Teeny Tiny
Flowers
and
leaves. I then took my chances in the Cupboard of Doom and managed to unearth the magic hot glue gun..... ...and a very quick and satisfying little make came together in anevening.
Ta-dah!! Not a very good photo I'm afraid (and gosh, I do look tired!) but you get the idea. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to wear it out and about in general public, but I did enjoy being appropriately yarnyat Yarndale.
I'll be sharing more Yarndale Tales with you next week - I need to sort out my hotch-potch collection of photos and attempt to describe the hugeness of being in a building with over 200 madly talented exhibitors and over 7000 madly excited visitors. It was pretty amazing I have to say. More soon! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 09:01 PM in Studio, Yarn

IT'S YARNDALE TIME
Helloooo!!!
Just popping by to say that I'm sorry I haven't been able to write a proper pre-yarndale post but I've been so flat out busy getting everything ready that time has escaped me. I put up the lamp post wraps in the park - 28 of them in total - on Tuesday, in the slanting rain. It was so wet and dismal but I pulled my hood up and tried not to be bothered by it, and my goodness they do look good! In a way, they look even better in the dull grey weather as the colours truly shine out - so many folks stopped under their unbrellas to admire the crochet and tell me how much they enjoy seeing the yarn in the park when Yarndale comes to town. It made me really happy, even in my soaked-to-the-skin sogginess. I'll share more picsnext week.
The past few days I've been working very hard with the Yarndale team up at the auction mart getting it all together. The bunting went up yesterday and looks as magnificent as ever - hard to believe this is it's 7th outing (you can read about it here).
I've spent all of today building the Creative Community display -that's the BEARS
in case you missed it! And just about half an hour ago I finished uploading the final photosto Pinterest.
All one thousand, eight hundred and seven of them. Yup - J and I have worked so hard on this, photographing every single bear and giving it a little ta-dah moment to credit the makers who joined in from 23 different countries around the world. 1807!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to make 18 separate boards on Pinterest, with around 100 or so bears on each, if you want to take a look >> https://www.pinterest.co.uk/yarndale/boards/ I am completely blown away by the respsonse. Thank you so so much if you made a charity bearand sent it to
us for this project in support of Mercy Ships. Your bears will make so many children happy, and I am all emotional and heart-squeezy over it, and can't quite find the words to tell you what this means to me. Butthank you.
I'll take a LOAD of photos and share more of it here next week. And for those of you who are coming to Yarndale, you will be able to see them for real and I hope you enjoy the incredible display. Right, I am dead on my feet and am going to fall horizontal now. I'll be back next week once Yarndale 2019 has been and gone and I amrecovered a little.

SUMMERS END
Today marks the Autumn Equinox and there's no denying it now - Summer is officially over for another year. The past week has been absolutely glorious, a truly beautiful end to my favourite season and I've been drinking it in at every opportunity. On Monday last week J and I took a flask of coffee and some chocolate and set out to climb The Crag - it's been a while since we were last up there and I'd forgotten what a beast of a climb it is. I felt like every cell in my body was screaming in protest, but the stunning views combined with the deep down feeling of achievement (and sheer relief) once I hauled myself up to the top was definitely worth it. It was a lovely walk in perfect late summer weather and I was so glad we made the effort to get out there to enjoy it. Our days this week have often started out in a very foggy way with a thick bank of whiteness hanging low over the landscape. It's been atmospheric and beautiful, and has made our morning walks to schoolfeel very Autumnal.
There is something very unique about the morning light in September, don't you think? There is a softness to it which I've come to really love, and even though it signals the end of summer I find I really don't mind it at all. Coming home after the hectic morning school run, I try and make time to sit quietly with a coffee for a short while to gather my thoughts and just breathe in the stillness. It never fails to make me feel that all is right in my world when I have a hot milky drink in my hands. I've been walking around town more than usual this week as I've somehow had a lot of errands to run which have taken me from one end of town to the other. It's certainly no hardship to run errands in my town. I've lived here for almost twelve years now and I absolutely love being able to walk from my house to the shops via roads like this ↑↑ ....and along pathways like this ↑↑ I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to walk along these watery pathways every day and never take it for granted. We gathered up Little B on Saturday and drove into the Yorkshire Dales to walk alongside the river Wharfe. This walk has become a firm family favourite during this past year, ever since we discovered the delights of the Old School Tearoom . In fact it was Little B's idea for us to walk there at the weekend, and I'm pretty certain that his decision was entirely banana milkshakeinduced.
Even though I've been holding onto the idea of Summer still being with us, the trees along the riverbank were most definitely displaying their Autumn colours. Most trees are still very green (hooray!) but the horse chestnuts are always one of the first to turn. They look lovely though, especially when the sun lights them up. Little B was on a conker-finding mission, although really it's still too early for them. He was overjoyed by the very small ones he found and we now have a very teensy collection of them sitting in a bowl inthe kitchen.
The tea room was delightful as ever and it was warm enough for us to sit outside to eat an early lunch. Note the banana milkshake of dreams (!), he was so happy with his drink and his conkers, bless him. I used to have a major addiction to buying tea towels, I wonder if youremember
?
I've not exactly grown out of it but have learnt to curb it and haven't indulged in a good few years now. I was looking on the Cath Kidston website for a new purse as my current 22 year old one has finally fallen apart. Somehow I found myself looking at tea towels instead (old habits die hard) and well, the 'shrooms just called out to me and had to come and live in my kitchen. I think they look very Autumnal and so blinkin' cute, I love love love them. I've got some glorious sunflowers on my table at the moment, a gift from a good friend for no other reason other than she knew I would love them. She wasn't wrong, I do absolutely adore them and every day they make me smile. They are very Septemberish I think, a real end ofSummer treat.
My mantel is still in Summer mode, and it shall stay that way until after Yarndale. We are forecast some rotten weather this week so I am doing all that I can to summon up some sunshiny summer vibes, just enough to get us through the weekend would be good. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 10:09 PM in Flowers, Home

ACROSS THE MOORS
Last Sunday on the first day of September we set out on a morning walk across the moors. It was our last jaunt of the Summer holidays, a chance for us to stretch our legs, breathe in the fresh air and mentally begin the process of winding down our holidays and preparing for the start of a new school year. As is pretty usual for us these days, we were walking as a family of three with both the Teens working that day. Mind you, even if they weren't working I doubt that it would have made a difference to our walking plans - Little Lady does still like to walk with us but more often than not she's made other weekend plans for herself. Her social life is like a non stop merry-go-round and she is always on the go with her gorgeous group of friends, which of course I'm super happy about. She is in such a great place right now, happy, confident and loving life and I couldn't be more pleased for her. So we are a threesome for walks these days, and that's quite OK, the transition has been gradual and it feels more normal now than it did ayear ago.
We mapped out a circular five mile walk around the two reservoirs (Upper Barden and Lower Barden) which sit high up on Barden Moor. We drive this way often en route to Bolton Abbey, but it's a beautiful place in it's own right and well worth an outing when the weather is fine. It can often be very wild and windy up here with virtually no place to shelter, so you do need to come prepared with the right clothes and some refreshments tucked in your bag. We passed a few other people walking as well as some woolly four legged residents but mostly we enjoyed having these vast moors and spectacular views all to ourselves. Upper Barden reservoir can't be seen from the road so it's always a lovely sight when it finally comes into view. Being that this was roughly the half way point of the walk, we had told Little B that we would stop here for a rest and something to eat and drink, so he was ridiculously happy when we arrived at the waters edge. Before leaving town, we made a quick stop off at a café which opens it's doors for the early morning breakfast crowd and filled up our flasks. J and I had frothy lattés and Little B had his very own flask of hot chocolate which he was delighted with. On the spur of the moment I'd also picked up a couple of chocolate croissants which I felt would hit the spot rather nicely once we were high up on thehilltops.
Sitting out in the wide open countryside with a picturesque view laid out in front of you is one of life's glorious pleasures and one of my most favourite things to do. If you add in a picnic blanket, a hot drink and a bit of something sweet and naughty, well the whole experience is elevated up a notch or two on the pleasure charts. It was just so good! It also really helped to give Little B an extra energy boost as he'd been dragging his little legs somewhat. Hot chocolate has magical properties I'm sure of it. We walked past the old Victorian reservoir keepers house - we were last here in the depths of Winterand I
found myself very intrigued by this remote house back then too. I wonder what it would feel like to live there? Blissful or lonesome? The heather was beautiful but definitely not abundant this year and there was far more brown than purple. There was lots of green though, and it made me immediately think of the first part of my Moorland Blanket.I
don't think I'll ever walk up here and _not_ think of the colours in my Moorland blanket to be honest, it's impossible for me to look at this very familiar landscape and not see Cypress, Lime, Khaki, Meadow, Pistachio, Mocha and Walnut! The winding track back towards the Lower Reservoir felt quite long and a little hard going - you can just see the reservoir in the distancethere.
But eventually we made it to the water's edge... ...and continued to follow the track across the embankment and up, up,up over the moors.
This felt like a veeeeery long part of the walk, and I was glad that Little B seemed to still be powering forward on hot chocolate energy because I was definitely dragging my heels. I loved this Rowan tree which was absolutely covered in berries, it looked so bright and cheerful against the more muted backdrop of thehills and water.
I love walking in the countryside and taking in all the colours and I find myself mixing up virtual colour palettes inside my Creative Mind all the time. I've always been this way, even as a teenager I can vividly remember walking in Dorset and being so drawn to particular colours around me, wishing back then that I'd had a camera to capture what I was seeing. Owning a digital camera has completely changed my life and I absolutely wouldn't be without it. I always carry my little pocket point-and-shoot camera with me wherever I go (it's this Sony one , in case you wanted to know) and love that taking photographs has become such an essential part of myeveryday life.
Hard to believe it's now three years since I was working on myMoorland Blanket
,
it's still one of my most favourite makes. I'm currently working on my next blanket design which I'll be ready to share with you in mid November (it'll be run as another CAL which will take place in Jan/Feb 2020). I'm super excited as I'm heading off on Friday for a little inspirational visit somewhere special. I might share some sneaky photos with you, I've not decided yet - it's hard to know how much to share and how much to keep as a surprise. Let me know what you think? Would you like to know what the colour inspiration is for my next blanket, or shall I keep it under wraps for now? I'm so so so so so excited about it by the way!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 04:29 PM in Children, Family

SEPTEMBER 04, 2019
LIFE IN AUGUST :: PART 3 I've loved writing my blog during this past month, and know from experience that these types of everyday-life posts are the ones that I'll most enjoy looking back on and re-reading in future years. Blogging is such an excellent way to capture memories and record the essence of time and place, and I so enjoy seeing my random photos come together to describe the little everyday joys of spending summer at home with the Little People. I guess this is my own personal window into the summer of twenty-nineteen, but I'm glad that you also enjoy peeking through my window with me. 24th August, a random Tuesday morning. We drove out to the beautiful village of Burnsall in the Yorkshire Dales and strolled along the riverside, it was sunny, bright and fresh and a lovely morning for a walk. Most of the river along this stretch is fast moving and quitenoisy...
....but I loved this bit close to the riverbank where the reflections played on the still surface of the water amongst the mossy stones. Turning away from the river, this part of the walk passes through beautiful fields and meadows. Mid morning and the sun is still low in the sky and the shadows are long in late August. There is a definite feel of summer drawing to a soft, gentleclose......
....and the very beginnings of the Autumn season beginning to show. We walked as far as our favourite watering hole in Hebden and for the first time all summer we chose to sit inside instead of out in the garden. This was in part decided by the wasps, but it's sooo cosy and gorgeous inside I felt I could quite happily move in. A leisurely brunch is definitely the most enjoyable meal of the day I've decided. I know it doesn't really work on school/work days but that's probably why I love it so much because it's so very weekend/holidayish! We've continued to make the most of the long days when the weather has been good, enjoying early evenings out and about after our dinner. It's mostly just Little B and me, the two of us seeking out the sunshine and enjoying a bit of playtime. We head to the park close to our house where I sit a while and daydream while he runs, balances, jumps, climbs and spins his way around the place. There is another small park that we sometimes visit, it's a bit further to walk and sits at the top of a veeeeeery long, steep, hilly residential street so I need to be persuaded to take that particular jaunt in the evening. Little B is very, very good at the whole persuasive thing though, and I do love the peaceful tranquility uphere.
It was definitely worth the steep walk as we got to watch the sun go down just after 8pm. There were rabbits nibbling the grass and a couple of people walking dogs, but mostly we had the whole place toourselves.
Another evening, and this time it's Little Lady who asks me if I'd like to walk with her. I immediately sense that she is feeling restless and needs to walk and talk, and I am more than happy to be the legs and ears that she needs. We climb up the big grassy hill to sit on the dry stone wall and look out over our neighbourhood.... ....well, that was the plan! As you can see, our usual peaceful long distance view was interrupted by the local residents who were very interested in coming to see us. Nosy things. 7.20pm and already the sun is low in the sky and the shadows are delightfully long. You can just make out myself and Little Lady in the photo above, well not us in person but our shadowy selves. Little Lady has grown tall this summer and is now around three inches taller than me (I am a shorty at only 5ft 3"), and I am still adjusting to that fact. It feels all wrong somehow. On our way out of the woods we found ourselves at the top of the high street and with a tilt of her head and a big persuasive smile, Little Lady gently asked if perhaps we might go for a drink together. It was a beautifully warm, clear evening and I could tell she wasn't ready to head home, so I did the decent thing and obliged her..... ....oh, it was really no hardship, as you can see!!! Haha!! We were drawn to the outside terrace of Alexanders Bar which really comes into it's own on a warm summers evening. I treated Little Lady to a mocktail, she chose a White Russian (a "coffee and vanilla infusion with crushed ice & cream topped with salted caramel" in case you wondered) and I went with a very delicious chilled Sauvignon Blanc. It was such an unexpectedly good end to a long, warm lazy day, a delightful memory that has stayed fresh and bright in my mind ever since. My sweet girl, I do love herso.
Days have been gentle and rather lazy during this past week or so. I've found myself lolling around the house in Holiday Mode and sometimes I've felt guilty about it and sometimes I've just been delighted by it. I found the above photo on my camera roll, and it just describes these kind of lolling days perfectly. I'm sat outside in my back yard, it's 5pm ish and I'm kind of in the midst of cooking dinner (well when I say "cooking" I probably mean plopping various bits of salad stuff onto a plate along with some cold roast chicken and appropriate condiments, crusty bread and dips). I remember it had been a warm sunny day because there is my duvet cover folded up ready to go upstairs after drying on the line (isn't that one of the most wonderful things about summertime weather?). I had been reading through some magazines after deciding to carry out a bit of decluttering around my desk that afternoon. Of course I had to read the magazines before passing them on to a good friend. Of course! And yes ok, that is a cheeky little gin and tonic there, hmm....I don't often drink during the week, but realise that these last two photos make it look like I really do. Holiday Mode and a relaxing drink gohand in hand, no?
I have to say that I don't enjoy the shortening days at this time of year and although I try not to allow it, I do experience a creeping melancholy at the thought of summer starting to wane. I try hard to be positive about it, but it's not easy for a summer-loving soul like me. I've been lighting up my candles in the evenings instead of putting the light on, and that does kind of ease the transition a little. I'm so enjoying this particular candle which was a gift to me from Lady B when she came to visit a few months ago. The scent is just beautiful, and it does feel like a real luxury to light it up and enjoy the fragrance as well as the dancing light. On the mornings when I don't have any particular agenda or anywhere to be, I've been getting up at around 7am ish. I head downstairs, empty the dishwasher, bring the milk in from the doorstep, feed the cat and see to the laundry, then set about making myself a cup of coffee. I like my coffee with plenty of hot milk and a dusting of chocolate powder, and always in a mug that feels morningish and good to hold. I tiptoe back to bed and sit and sip my coffee in the quiet of the house before Little B wakes up. It's one of those lovely little pockets of time in the day when I can be still and quiet and allow my thoughts to meander. I appreciate this slow start to the day very much as it's not something that can easily happen during school time. By the way, do you like my new mug? I came across it in the supermarket and couldn't resist it's wonky charms....it cost £4, a little treat from me to me. Happy Summer, Lucy!! Actually one day last week I woke up with a start at 7.15 and was just about to start my dishwasher-cat-laundry-coffee-back-to-bed routine when I remembered that I had a train to catch......and I only had 50 minutes in which to perform the catching!!!! Yikes, I had to rush around like a crazy thing to get myself ready and out the door in time for the 8.05 train, I only just made it. My destination was HebdenBridge....
....and can we just stop a moment and appreciate what a picturesque little train station Hebden Bridge is, it's really very lovely! Setting off so early meant that I was strolling the streets before it got busy, and that's a rarity in this popular little town. I don'tknow Hebden Bridge
very well having only been there a few times before, but from what I've seen it's a truly amazing place with a very creative, quirky vibe. There are lots of independent shops and cafés and a real feeling of community spirit (it's very much like that where I livetoo).
To make this trip even more special, I wasn't wandering the streets on my ownsome. I had journeyed to HB to meet up with my very good friend Christine as we'd not had the opportunity to get together since before the summer holidays began. We thought it would be a fun place to spend the day together, an easy(ish) train journey for each of us and a great place for a leisurely pootle with plenty of cosy places to sit, sip, munch andchatter.
I hadn't really considered the shopping possibilities in HB, but of course the temptation was there and it was hard to resist the lure of pretty things. We called into a few different shops but this was definitely my favourite - it's the very lovely Yorkshire Soap Co . I didn't know until about 5 seconds ago that there are actually eight shops in Yorkshire , which just goes to show how gorgeous the products are and what a treat it is to step inside thefours walls.
Everything was just so very pretty, not only to look at, but the array of sniffing possibilities blew my mind! I fell in love with the glycerine soap bars- the
combination of beautiful glowing colours and tempting scents made me a bit giddy (to be fair, it doesn't take much to tip me over). There are more than 40 fragrances to choose from, and rather predictably I chose this one................ .......uh, huh.......Seashore. I've not
used it yet but I have sniffed it excessively and can tell you it is delightful in every way. Fresh and zingy, it is meant to "_capture the essence of a bracing walk along a seashore_" which is right up mystreet.
Our day was such a tonic, a chance to take some hours to be just Me and not Mum or Wife. I do really love the summer holidays and being home with the family but towards the end I always find myself craving just a weeny bit of breathing space. Christine and I meandered along the very picturesque canal, wandered in and out of shops and spent an extensive amount of time drinking coffee and eating cake in the cosy upstairs of a small café. We attempted a little bit of planning which ended up being just a bit of list making for me, but that's not a bad thing by any means. All in all it's often such good therapy just to talk things through with someone who knows you well enough to offer honest opinions and objective advice when it's needed. I certainly always feel like my head space is clearer after spending time with Christine, it's like whipping a feather duster around my cluttered Mental Cavities and opening up a window or two. This week has seen us preparing for the return to school after our six week break and there has been a definite feeling of wanting to make the last few days count. On Sunday we decided to head up to to high ground and stride out across the moors. I was hoping for lots of purple but as you can see the heather on our local moor is pretty sparse this year. Still, we had a really lovely walk and I took lots of panoramic photos which I'm saving for another blog post. Lucky you. Yesterday was the very last day before school returned today, and I'd promised my time to Little B. The previous day (Monday) I'd given it over to Little Lady, going with her on the train to Leeds for a day of shopping and lunch. She'd managed to save up a fair bit of money from working so many extra shifts at her waitressing job over the summer, and was excited for a little bit of a well earned spending spree. It was a lovely day for us both, but honestly utterly exhausting. So back to Little B - I asked him what he wanted to do, suggesting all sorts of things including swimming, the cinema, a trip on the train to Leeds (even though the thought of doing it two days on the trot made me wither a little inside), and in the end he was adamant that he wanted to go here................... ..........Skipton Castle . Yes, that's right, this is the castle that sits at the top of the High Street, less than ten minutes walk from home. He had it in his head that he really wanted to see inside it - we had taken him years ago when he was toddlerish size so he was too young to remember it. So off we went yesterday morning, just him and me (J was suddenly _very_ busy, funny that), walking through that grand archway to buy our tickets and go on a jaunt through an eight hundred year old building. I adore this tree which sits proudly in the centre of the inner courtyard. It's an ancient yew tree, planted as a sappling waaaaaay back in 1659. Sixteen-fifty-nine!!! I don't know how many times I've visited the castle over the years, we used to go when the Little People were small using an annual voucher from the local newspaper which gave us free entry. But no matter how many times you walk the rooms and take in the views and soak up the immense history of the place, it never fails to impress. It's just so very, very, very old! I especially loved looking out of the windows to the side of the castle which overlooks the woodland as we've walk along that narrow pathway pretty much every week during the summer. There's something appealing about getting an aerial perspective of a well known placedon't you think?
We really had a great time actually, and Little B absolutely loved it. We read every single information panel in every single room and being that is was first thing on a Tuesday morning we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. We were able to freely wander in and out of all the magnificently huge rooms and generally breathe in the historical importance of it all. I'm not much of a one for historical appreciation, but even I felt impressed by the absolute ancientnesssurrounding us.
After buying a pencil from the castle souvenir shop, we ventured back into modern day life and went for a coffee in Starbucks, followed by a last minute dash to the school uniform shop. It's all about balance. The afternoon was spent like this ↑↑↑↑ (well for Little B, not me, although I was very tempted). You can just see his hand waving out of his "den", telling me that he is still alive and hasn't suffocated under the huge weight of allllll the crochet blankets and alllllll thecushions.
And so......there endeth our summer holidays and it's been back to school and work for us all today. I think we've had a pretty great summer this year and it has felt beautifully long and lazy for the most part. Our trip to Dorset seems like it was ages ago now (well I guess it was six weeks ago), and although we haven't had any big exciting holidays or trips out this summer it's still been extremely lovely. Oh, I almost forgot, we did have a second short break three weeks ago up to Saltburn - I started to upload some photos for a seasidey blog post so I'll try and finish that up and write about it quite soon before it all fades and becomes too distant. Yes, summer has been so, so good. And you know, it IS still summer, right up until the Autumn Equinox on Monday 23rd September. It really _is still summer _(it is, it is), so please don't talk to me about Autumn just yet. I'm not quite ready. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ps.

YARNING FOR YARNDALE I know many of you already know all about **Yarndale but if you've somehow missed it, Yarndale is a creative yarn festival, "a celebration of all things woolly and wonderful." It takes place here in my home town in North Yorkshire at the end of September and this will be the 7th year. As one of the the five original organisers, I'm involved with all sorts of behind-the-scenes stuff throughout the year - Yarndale has become quite a large festival with more than 200 exhibitors and over 8,000 visitors, so there is always plenty to be done. One of my main "jobs" for Yarndale is to head up all of the creative stuff, so today I thought I'd share a few of the projects I've been working on this summer. Every year I come up with a small pattern for the brochure. It's not always easy to think up something pretty that will photograph well and be a small enough pattern to fit on the brochure page. But my Creative Mind likes a challenge and always seems to deliver something appropriate when I need it - so far I've designed a jar cover, a birdie brooch, a small stuffed owl, a heart key ring, a felted bowl and a flower garland. I have to say I do really like the little decorative things that come forth from my imagination, they make mesmile!
This year I settled on a bag charm and I have absolutely no idea why or how this came to me, I just snagged the idea directly from my Creative Mind as I could see it so clearly. I could envisage little crochet balls and tassels (I thought about adding beads but didn't have any to hand at the time) in bright colours and a bit boho gypsyish in style? Not sure that makes sense, but I kind of knew what I meant at the time! I went to Amazon to find the clasp, it's called a "Lobster Swivel Clasp" if you are searching online for it. I chose the pretty coppery colour, but you can get this clasp in silver, gold and some other metallic colours as well, click on the link below :: {37mm Lobster Swivel Clasps on Amazon UK}
The clasps come in packs of ten, so they are great things to have for making small gifts, you could dangle all sorts of little crochet things from them and clip to a bag or keyring. I bought this cute straw bag a while ago, again from Amazon {{here }}. I wanted a neat little bag to take to the park and on holidays, something I could use to carry a drink and books/mags and a little bit of crochet perhaps if I was off for a picnic or a bit of relaxing-on-a-blanket time. The description on Amazon really made me laugh.... _"Special Design: This straw handbag is hand-crafted by our local Artisans, unique, delicate, and fashionable. Perfect for any occasion: beach, party, shopping, camping, and dating, it shows your special personal character" _...HA!! Love that! You can see how the bag charm just clips straight onto the bag, I do really love the effect of the bright colours against the straw. Making the tassels was sooo easy and super-addictive. I used cotton yarn (Ricorumi DK), wrapping a length around my four fingers (I wrapped 12 times I think). You then slip a length of yarn between the yarn-wrap and your fingers and ease it up to the top, then tie a tight knot to secure the strands. Then use a second length of yarn to tie another secure knot about 1 cm down to form a little bobbly bit at the top of the tassel. Use a needle to thread the yarn ends down through the centre of your tassel after you've tied both knots, but leave one long end at the top that you can use to secure your tassel onto your clasp. And finally, give the tassel a neat trim across the bottom. Easy Peasy! The pattern for the little crochet balls will be in the Yarndale brochure and like the tassels they are very easy and addictive to make. I love the finished look I have to say. You might remember me talking a little while ago about some stripy crochet I've been doing? During
Yarndale week these long thin panels will be wrapped around the lamp posts which line the pedestrian path through the park. I've LOVED making them, the colourful stripes have really ticked all my therapeutic-happy-crochet boxes. I already showed you the YARNDALEstripes above
, and I
think I also showed you the beginnings of my sunflower wrap inprogress.....
I made a bright sunny flower using chunky yarn and following a free pattern I found online ((here)).
The leaves were a made-up pattern (and I'm sorry I didn't write anything down for these so can't share how I made them). I think perhaps they are a bit small for sunflower leaves, but honestly I don't suppose it matters too much. I couldn't resist adding a little flying critter too, using scraps of 4 ply wool yarn and a 3 mm hook. This is such a faffy little thing to make but it is totally worth the effort - you can find the Bumble Bee pattern on my blog ((here))
What do you think?
I'm so happy with it! I hope all the folks who see it wrapped around a lamp post next month will stop and smile :) For the third wrap I crocheted up a whole load of green stripes to accommodate a flock of woolly sheep, as you do. The idea sprang into my mind one afternoon and would not go away, I was powerless to resist. So I set about designing a sheep pattern to bring my idea to reality, and I'm really delighted with it. I used scraps of Stylecraft Special DK in white, black (yes I do possess black yarn) and grey. Oh, and pink yarn too! Baaaaaa!!!! Love love love how this came out, I had such fun making the sheep and stitching them in place to graze on those green stripes. Ta-dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super happy with these, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them bring some happy vibes to the park in September. Many of you have asked for the sheep pattern, so I did the decent thing and made a whole tutorial for you. I've just been proof reading it, and do you know what I realised??? Can you see what's missing??? This poor little sheep has no tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I added a quick pattern edit to tell you about making the tail, but it's night time now and I don't have the time or energy to make a tail and re-photograph the sheep. You'll just have to imagine her with a cute little sheep tail waggling from herbehind.
You can find the pattern and tutorial by clicking on the link below >> 🐑🐑 SHEEP PATTERN🐑🐑
I've named the pattern "Sheep Appliqué" if you need to find it in my list of patterns in the sidebar of my blog. One of my biggest jobs for Yarndale each year is to organise and co-ordinate the large scale creative display which raises money and awareness for a charity. This has become an all-consuming part of my summers in recent years and although at times it's a pretty huge undertaking I do really enjoy it. The large scale creative displays are an amazing way of bringing together our fantastic worldwide yarn community and it's something I feel passionate about celebrating. I love the idea of us all connecting together through knitting, crochet and a love of yarn (and colour!) - I'm lucky enough to experience this sense of belonging and friendship every day through my blog and social media and Yarndale is a beautiful real-life extension of our onlinecommunity.
This year, the project is all about BEARS!! Aren't they lovely?? These crochet bears are very simple to make and were inspired by the old fashioned traditional knitted bears that have been around fordecades . There are
many different charitable organisations around the world who collect and distribute knitted bears to give comfort and hope to children in need. My job was to create a crochet pattern which matched the knitted pattern. Sounds easy eh? It took me three attempts to get the proportions right (bear number one had veeeeery long legs, bear number two had veeeeeery long arms and a body that was too short, bear number three had a head that was too small). It's difficult to tell what the different parts of the bear will look like during the crocheting process as the whole thing is constructed as a flat piece. But eventually I got it about right, and I loved the whole process ofmaking it work.
The construction is ever so clever - the legs, body and head are worked as one long continuous piece. It's then folded in half and the head/ears are stitched and created. Finally the arms are worked into the ends of the body rows so that there is no need to sew on limbs. This makes a strong, safe toy suitable for children. As with all critters, it's always so much harder than you'd think to get the face looking friendly/charming/cute, especially when you aren't able to use pre-made plastic toy eyes. A length of black yarn, a needle and some simple stitching and off you go...hoping you don't create an evil monster! Awww, I do so love the old fashioned simplicity of these bears, I think they are completely charming. I made a whole tutorial to help with the pattern and I named it "Charity Bear" if you are looking for it in my sidebar. Click on the link below to find it >> 🐻🐻 CHARITY BEAR TUTORIAL🐻🐻
I also made a written pattern PDF which you can download and print if you don't need all the step-by-step photos. Click on the link below to find it >> CHARITY BEAR PATTERN As I mentioned earlier, this isn't just about me making a few bears to sit on my sofa - this is all part of the Creative Community project for Yarndale 2019. The display of teddies at the festival will be in support of a fantastic charity called Mercy Ships (https://www.mercyships.org.uk ), and you can read more about the Bear project on the Yarndale website ((here))
As in previous years, I was able to put the call out on social media to get the project rolling and during the past month or so, bears have been arriving into the Attic from all over the world. At first there was a neat little well behaved group...... ....then more began to arrive and a bear party began! To date, almost 400 bears are hanging out with me here in the Attic, it's a riot! There is still time to join in with this project if you would like to, in fact I would be delighted! The more bears we receive, the more children will be given a very precious woolly hug ina time of need.
With J's help, we've made a start photographing each and every bear and adding them to Pinterest so that everyone who has contributed is credited. It's such a lovely, fun gallery of images, I adore it! Currently there are four separate boards (100 bears on each board), and I've got a massive stack of parcels in my hallway waiting to beopened still.
You can see all the bears ((here )) and I'll be adding more over the next few days as I try and catch up with the parcel mountain currently blockading my hallway! I love that these bears will be seen and loved at Yarndale, but that they will then be going on a very special onward voyage. It means that every single bear that is sent in will eventually be given a forever home with a child undergoing surgery or treatment on board the floating hospital ship currently off the coast of Senegal, isn't thatsomething?
If you are interested in making and contributing a bear, all the details for sending etc can be found on the Yarndale website ((here)).
Thank you for reading all the way to the end of this post, gosh my posts always end up waaaay longer than I anticipate, I can't seem to do concise writing, and I'm sorry about that. Well kind of. I don't know how to write any other way, so I guess it's not something I should be sorry about really. But thank you anyways. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Here are some links all in one place for you :: 💗 SHEEP APPLIQUE PATTERN 💗CHARITY BEAR PATTERN 💗 YARNDALE CREATIVE COMMUNITY INFO (includes address for posting, plus important bear making details) 💗 YARNDALE BEAR GALLERIES ON PINTEREST xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** _Yarndale is a for-profit organisation and I am one of the five organisers. Yarndale is not a charity. You can read more about Yarndale on the website ((here )). I know you know all this already, but I do need to be clear and honest about my involvement with Yarndale. I'm so proud of our festival and hope you've enjoyed a little bit of insight into some of the things that I've been up to.xx_

LIFE IN AUGUST :: PART 2 First things first - I want to thank you for the truly lovely comments that you've written to me recently when I've posted here in my precious Attic space, I've really enjoyed reading your words on my last couple of posts. I do so love to hear from you and I am grateful for the time you spend visiting with me and gifting me with your thoughts. Carving out quiet time to sit and write a coherent blog post during school holidays is actually quite the challenge for me, and it's really great to hear that you continue to enjoy my slightly random narrative. I am thankful for you! I continue to keep my camera close, and pretty much every day I manage to capture a few images here and there which describe these August days. The randomness of the photos means that they don't always feel like they make sense together but I still really enjoy seeing the visual story unfold when I sit down and string them along in a blog post. These images create an honest narrative that's for sure - I guess that summer holidays are in themselves a collection of utter randomness with no two days ever being the same?! We took a short stroll around the reservoir on Sunday morning which we've not done for far too long. Little B moaned like crazy about being dragged out of the house - it was half past nine so not a ridiculously early time, but still you'd think we were asking him to take an all day mountain hike in some remote, far away place rather than a short 30 minute walk a few miles away. As usual, as soon as we stepped out of the car and began to walk he was pulled immediately out of his funk and absolutely loved being outdoors with both J and I. I resisted the rather strong urge to yell "I-TOLD-YOU-SO!!!" although crikey, it hovered on the tip of my tongue for most of the walk as he was just so happy!! A shame we had to go through such angst to get him there, but it was totally worth it. Short local walks seem to be the way to go for us at the moment. The weather is so unpredictable that even if you set out in bright sunshine, the likelihood of getting drenched in a sudden downpour is remarkably high. It suits me though, I really don't seem to crave new things or new places at the moment, content to tread familiar paths in well loved locations. I seriously love where I live, and I don't think a day goes by when I don't see the hills surrounding the Attic and give quiet thanks for the fact that I am so happy here. I think I mentioned in my post last weekabout
visiting the farm shop , we go once or twice a week during the holidays, partly for the amazing fresh produce but also for the chance to walk a couple of easy miles. Plus (and this is a big plus for me personally) you can get really good coffee there, either to drink in at the farm shop café or as atakeout.
I don't eat a lot of bread (although I do love a bit of sourdough occasionally, or some dark rye bread for my poached egg addiction) but the bakery at the farm shop is fabulous. The bakers make the dough and bake it right there behind the counter so you can watch them doing it and it always smells soooo good. We picked up a ciabatta loaf this time, freshly baked and still warm, gosh it was hard to resist! If we decide not to spend time in the café then a takeout latté is the next best thing - strolling home through the park while sipping on a hot fresh milky coffee is pretty great - small daily pleasures, I'll take them. I try and remember to pack our bamboo cups in my bag if I think we might be getting a takeout (J has one as well, his is a manly black and red design). I love my cup, it works really well at keeping the coffee hot all the way to the bottom of the frothy deliciousness and best of all it can go straight into the dishwasherwhen I get home.
As you can see from the splodge of red child in the distance, our walk to the farm shop is very good for a certain nine year old with a shed load of energy humming inside his body. Sometimes he rides his bike, but on Monday he decided to walk, which actually meant he needed to run. And run and run. J and I strolled along with our coffees as Little B raced ahead - I've said this many times on my blog over the years but don't you think there is something so brilliant about the way that children run for the sheer joy of moving their bodies? It's just so lovely to witness. I love coming home with brown paper bags filled with all the fresh stuff, it makes me feel all inspired for cooking and healthy eating. Those tomatoes......ohmygosh, the flavour, so so good. Yesterday morning was a time for errands with my Little Buddy, and lookeeee.........the hand holding is back and I couldn't be more delighted (silent, internal happy mummy dancing). We set out early, first stop a haircut (for him, not me)..... ....second stop was some mid morning refreshment for the both of us. We had a lovely little chat over our hot chocolate/cappuccino, about food and books and school and holidays, just the general stuff of life that sometimes needs talking over. Third/fourth/fifth and sixth stops were a mish mash of essential shopping (drain unblocker, batteries, a birthday present) and non essential shopping which Little B somehow talked me into. Do you want to know what two things he most wanted me to buy for him, with a heap load of begging and persuasive argument thrown in? Number One........................ ......a giant two foot long bubble wand. As soon as we got home he was straight out onto the back street making the BIGgeSt bubbles you ever did see.... ....and I was right there with him attempting to photograph the BIGgeSt bubbles you ever did see, which is much harder than you might imagine. It was windy and the giant bubbles went sailing up to the rooftops before I could even think about aiming my camera. I managed one very poor shot of a low-flying pair, aren't the colours pretty? You want to know the Number Two purchase? He was so desperate for these that I just didn't stand a chance, I had to allow the indulgent purchase...... ......bath marbles. Of course! Just what any boy would wantdesperately?!
You can see the appeal mind you......they're little mini scented bath bombs and are set out a bit like a pick-and-mix sweet shop, with paper bags for you to select your own collection. You get to choose ten for 3, and well, I figured that if it helps make the whole bath-bed routine a little more fun and not such a grind then they would beworth it.
Life on the home front has been pretty easy this week to be honest. The Teens pretty much take care of themselves, both of them have been working extra holiday shifts at their weekend jobs (Little Lady waitresses in a café, Little Man works in a really lovely local pub in town). I'm so proud of them, they are saving up their money and seem to be enjoying their independence very much. Little B has perhaps been a bit bored at times, spending his time watching films and gaming a little, but also reading, dressing up and building dens as well, so I guess it all balances out one way and another. Laughing now, remember at the start of this post I told you about the randomness? Well this is a case in point - here I present to you my breakfast.....crikey, how can you stand the excitement of allthis???!!!!!
However....I have the same breakfast every day pretty much and I have to tell you I love it. LOVE it. I put 40g of oats in a bowl with a little splash of milk and some fat free vanilla yoghurt and leave it to soak overnight in the fridge. Then in the morning I add in half a sliced banana and some warm/smushed up berries (frozen "wonky" berries,
defrosted/warmed in the microwave for a minute so they go all gloopy). OH my goodness, it's like eating pudding for breakfast, you reallymust try it.
A cute little posy of the brightest, sweetest summer flowers on my table too, cheering up my days no end. The mini dahlias are surviving the mollusks in the back yard and I am so in love with them. There is crochet happening too of course - some things that I can't show you just yet which are making me giddy with excitement, and some things that I can show you and will gather together in a separate blog post. I finished off my third lamp post wrap for Yarndale this week, and I think I'm going to write up the little sheep pattern I designed for it. Would you like that? I'm not sure what use a little appliqué sheep will be to anyone, but maybe you would like to give it a go -let me know?
Last week we snook off for a few days for a short little family holiday beside the sea....it was absolutely blissful and I loved every minute of it. I took my usual stack of photos so will share with you in a few days while it's still fresh in my mind. We were so lucky with the weather, it rained of course (this is English summertime after all) but not ever enough to stop us in our tracks. We had such a good time, it was exactly what we all needed last week I think, a blast of fresh sea air and a little bit of somewhere different. Wonderfulstuff.
I hope your week is shaping up nicely and that life's randomness is making you happy - tell me what you're eating for breakfast these days, I really would like to know. Honest! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 09:42 PM in Children, Flowers

AUGUST 13, 2019
LIFE IN AUGUST
These August days are flying past and already the first half of our six week summer holiday is over. We are having a lovely time of it and although nothing remotely exciting has been happening, it just feels really, really good. The days feel kind of light and easy and blissfully unstructured, with the exception of food provision which remains very structured indeed. Little B has a very sturdy, in-built food clock which will not be ignored, so 8am is breakfast, 10am is morning snack, 12pm is lunch, 3pm is afternoon snack and 5.30pm is dinnertime. It means that days spent at home are punctuated with these regular requests for fodder but I am not complaining in the slightest, in fact I like the way he gives some gentle routine to my own days. The Teens do not appear to have any routine at all and are completely ruled by their own weird and wonderful teenage body clocks. So aside from our evening meal which we all eat together, they will happily see to their own food throughout the day. I am so grateful for the fact that I can be at home throughout August, and I'm enjoying my Little People very much at this age. J and I are both juggling working from home with family life this holiday and I think we are doing a pretty good job of it so far. On the days of the week when J isn't working, I try and take a bit of time out as well. I'm lucky in that I can work through into the evenings if I need to so that I can free up time during the day and it's so good to get out into the countryside together, even if it's just for a few hours. Mostly we just have Little B with us and to be honest I think he really enjoys having our undivided attention when we go out and about. One day last week we decided to drive up into the Dales to walk one of our favourite paths along the riverside from Linton Falls to Hebden. It was warm and muggy, and the countryside is definitely on the gentle slide into late summertime now. We saw so many butterflies and the tall dried summer grasses looked beautiful all along the river bank. Little B and I are still going on our evening walks and it's always such a sweet hour of my day. Last week on our meander along the woodland footpath we spotted a huge heron perched on the fence ahead of us, he really was magnificent. It was a bit of a stop and awe moment - we do quite often see these amazing birds around the canal and the beck that runs through the woodland, but the size of them always amazes me every time. You can't tell from the above photo, but as we strolled along this peaceful pathway a thunderstorm began to roll overhead. Loud rumbles of thunder followed by a heavy downpour of torrential rain meant that we arrived home looking a little soggy and bedraggled! It was fun though, and Little B seemed oddly delighted by the fact that neither of us had coats (I was wearing sandals too) and we were literally getting soaked to the skin. It was the nicest thing to come home and get changed straight into pyjamas (it was 8 o'clock by this time) and it really did fit the definition of cosy. We've had some stonking wet and stormy weather during the past few weeks actually, with the kind of rain that makes a huge sound as it falls. But it's remained pretty warm and humid and there has been plenty of sunshine in between the downpours. I've loved the rain (now there's a surprise), the sound and smell of it has been refreshing andsoothing.
Little B hasn't really asked to do much so far this holiday, we've been into town a few times to our favourite cafes and we've walked/cycled through the park to the farm shop. But one morning last week (Tuesday) he asked if I could take him on the train to visit Salts Mill. To be perfectly honest I didn't much feel like it at the time and I was very tempted to say no. But he asked me so sweetly in a way that gave a great big yank on my heart strings, so I found myself looking up train times and agreeing to go, and he was so happy! We only live a short walk from the train station, so last minute decisions to go places is made pretty easyreally.
We enjoyed Salts Mill, and being fairly early on a weekday morning it was quiet and peaceful. Little B chose a new reading book (he is an avid reader) and I got to browse in the very-expensive-daydreamy-home part of the mill where Little B persuaded me to buy some very-expensive-daydreamy hand wash. I then had to recover with a stiff cappuccino and a slice of coffee and walnut cake in Salts Diner (I did share the cake with Little B), but it was altogether a lovely little trip for the two of us. And the hand soap smells delicious - the child has good taste it has to be said. On Thursday morning last week we walked at Bolton Abbey, it's been a while since we'd been there. It was a warm, still morning and we walked a fair number of miles along the woodland and riverside paths. I do try and be In The Moment when I'm out with the family, but I am so easily distracted by nature's details and feel compelled to capture on camera the little things that catch my eye. Everything looks so lovely in summertime! As delightful as the walk was, I absolutely couldn't wait to get back to where we'd parked the car to sit down and enjoy this....... ......ahhhhh, that was so good! Little B had a much deserved ice cream and J and I inhaled our frothy coffees and all was well in my world. We walked for a good few hours so had covered some miles, that coffee was well earned! We did a little bit of gardening last week, working on tidying up our very overgrown front garden. It was a joint effort - J cut and strimmed our unruly patch of grass and I trimmed back all the foliage. Our buddleia is flowering anundantly this year and we've had so many butterflies on it every day - peacocks, red admirals, large whites, painted ladies and small tortoiseshells. It's been wonderful to sit and watch them flitting about. I trimmed all the dead flowers off and tidied it up a bit - there were some casualties from the football so I snipped off the broken stems and popped them in a glass on the dining table with some other bits from the garden. Summer right there in aglass.
I've been trying to eat healthily this holiday and aside from the odd bit of cake here and there I've been keeping all my meals as wholesome as possible. Lunch is one of my favourites as I usually cook just for myself - nearly always an egg now I come to think about it. I love poached eggs soooooo much! Yum, yum, yum, especially with avocado ontoasted rye bread.
Thank you for all your kind comments on my last post, and a doubly big thank you to everyone who made the journey to come and see me at Wool Warehouse on Sunday. I had such a lovely time! I traveled down on Saturday afternoon with J which was a treat in itself as we'd booked into a lovely hotel and enjoyed a gorgeous meal out and a welcome little slice of child-free time. I was so excited to see the Warehouse and it did not disappoint, oh boy, it was magnificent! The wall of Stylecraft Special yarn was inspirational and I love love LOVED that little mini Attic24 blankets had been made to showcase my colour palettes and designs...... ......look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so neat, and really useful to see them all displayed likethat.
In the showroom there is limited space so it's not possible for all of the many thousands of yarns to be displayed. What they've done is so clever - there is one ball of every single type of yarn they stock, with a label giving you all the information you need (weight, yardage, price etc). You can then look at the colour ranges on the computers and request for any balls you might want to take a closer look at. I loved seeing so much variety and found my brain spinning with creativeideas.
It was a truly amazing day...super busy from start to finish and so many happy, friendly and enthusiastic visitors to chat to. I loved meeting everyone and hearing all about the projects you've made and those you've added to your list - lots of yarn packs went off to new homes so I know there will be some lovely new blankets in the making very soon. It makes me so very happy to think about it, gosh you just can't beat the feeling of starting out on a brand new blanket journey. I love making blankets very very very very very much.......you'd never have guessed that would you??!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 10:00 PM in Children, Crochet

YARNY WEEKENDS
A few days before I went down to Dorset at the end of July I packed my bags, hopped on and off a couple of trains and journeyed across to West Yorkshire to spend a few days with the Stylecraft team and some of my gorgeous fellow Blogstars . We are lucky enough to enjoy two get-togethers a year (one in the winter and one in summer) and it's something I really, really look forward to. Over the years that the Blogstars have been meeting I think it's fair to say that we've all become very good friends. We obviously have a huge amount in common in that we are all crochet/knit designers and bloggers and I love being able to chat about all things yarn/crochet/blog to others who not only get what I'm on about, but who are willing to share their own thoughts, projects, advice and experiences so freely. It's a nurturing, uplifting and super-kind group to be a part of and I value these yarny friends very much. You can see who all the Stylecraft blogstars are and find links to theirblogs {{here }}
After a fun social on Friday night and a relaxing stay in a local hotel, we made our way to the Stylecraft mill for some serious yarn chat on Saturday morning. The team at Stylecraft gave a detailed presentation to us, showing new yarns and patterns that will be coming in the season ahead (Autumn/Winter 2019). We were given a little insight into fashion influences and design/colour trends (which fascinates me beyond measure!) and shown new yarns and new colours coming to existing ranges. I absolutely love all this - much of it isn't directly relevant to the way I work (a lot of knitting patterns and yarns that are more suited to garments) but I still get a real buzz out of seeing how design collections are created and photographed and how themes and colour palettes work their way through from concept stage to finished item. It's an insight into the yarn industry that I feel very privileged to have. Usually we all make our way home after the day spent at the mill on Saturday, but this particular meet up was a little bit special. As well as the Blogstar get together, it was also party time! Stylecraft are celebrating their 30th anniversary this yearand as part of
their celebrations there was a going to be a much anticipated Sunday tea party. A part of the working mill had been cleared and spruced up and the Stylecraft team did an amazing job of making it all look very welcoming. It was to be a very busy day with 60 guests (winners from a competition) and 30 local yarn shop owners invited to the party. I loved the schedule of the day which included yarn-themed party games, prossecco and birthday cake, I mean, how can that not makeanyone giddy?!
One of the games involved this wall of mini jumpers made from Stylecraft Special DK - there were fifteen colours missing and I can tell you I had a load of fun with the blogstars attempting to nail down the missing ones. I know these colours inside out, but it was still quite a challenge! There were a couple of other really fun games too, including "Stylecraft Special DK Bingo" - the winners of a full line and full house were gifted with these beautiful yarny bouquets which I thoughtwas amazing.

After lunch, it was time for some workshops. The blogstars who were teaching had each set up a little display area - as I had traveled by train I was limited with what I could carry but I was really happy to give some of my blankets a little outing. It's always so nice to see people enjoying my blankets and telling me about their own crochet makes, I love our creative crochet community very much. For my workshop I had chosen to teach a simple mandala using Stylecraft Classique cotton DK. I had ten gorgeous ladies at my table..... .....and a whole lot of colourful yarn. The pattern I designed uses 8 different colours and it was great fun to see everyone making their choices and working out which order to place them in. I say I was 'teaching' a workshop but honestly, these ladies were all very, very good crocheters and picked up my pattern with ease. I gave a little bit of colour advice, but mostly I just watched in awe as the most beautiful mandalas grew in front of my eyes. Oh......there might have also been cake involved........did I mentioncake already???
Cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! The workshop lasted for two hours so it was quite speedy and before we knew it, the afternoon was wrapping up. I managed to get a quick snap of the mandalas made by all the ladies, it was one of the most fun (and fast) workshops I've ever done. Don't they look amazing?x
photo credit : Wool Warehouse This coming weekend also promises to be very, very yarn filled as I am heading south to Leamington Spa to visit Wool Warehouse for the very first time. Over the years I've met the WW team on many occasions but I've never had the opportunity to actually go to the very building where all the magic happens....I'm so excited to see it! There is a beautiful new showroom which I am really looking forward to exploring, but best of all I get to share the day with a whole heap load of yarny friends....................... .....yipppeeee!!!!!!!!!!! You see, this isn't a personal, private visit for me on my own-some, but a whole OPEN DAY where you are all invited too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry for the very short notice, August has kind of crept up on me a little and suddenly it's nearlyblanket show time.
But if you are able to come along, it would be fabulous to see you - it's this coming Sunday 11th August, 10-4. I'll be there with ALL my blankets, and guess what? There. Will. Be. CAKE!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I have it on good authority that there will indeed be tea, coffee and homemade cake, and of course there will be yarn, loads and loads of yarn. You can browse and shop and have a chat with me if you like, and generally have a really lovely day out I hope. There is a page on the Wool Warehouse website with all the visiting information (including local pubs where you can have lunch or park the other half for a few hours) - click {{here}} for the details.
I've spent much of today running up and down the cellar stairs with armfuls of blankets, giving my entire pile a wash and a spruce up. That's one of the beautiful things about Stylecraft Special DK, it washes like a dream. I put three blankets into the machine at a time on a short wash (40 degrees) with my usual laundry liquid and fabric softener. I gave them an extra spin to loose as much of the water as possible, then popped them in a cool tumble drier for around 30 minutes. They come out feeling sooooooooooo soft and delicious, I just wanted to cuddle up and snuggle them to bits. I love my blankets so,so much.
So I hope to see some of you on Sunday, and I'll be back in the Attic next week to share some more yarny goings on and some general summerychit chat.
Have a fabulous weekend, I hope there is yarn (and cake) involved xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted at 09:43 PM in Outings, Yarn
