Some craft is still happening

All be it slowly but it is happening....
While everything has been boxed up I have managed to finish a crochet blanket with lots of scraps used up. The pattern was shown and given to me by a friend. Thanks Lyn. I love this pattern and it is so easy once you get going. I need the instructions to get started again but I think this will be my blanket to go to when I have left over yarns....
A great use of scraps


A nice size blanket


I have slowly been working on one of the splendid sampler blocks. EPP hexagons. Keep in mind that these are being put onto a 6" block. They are tiny. Not my favourite stitching so it is going very slowly. I keep avoiding picking it up. Here goes. At least I have started...
My tiny HEXIES for the Splendid Sampler block

oh my word Jo, you're brave to tackle such tiny ones! Very pretty fabrics there & I'm sure they'll look great as (on?) the block when it's finished. Thank you for linking up , I know it's been a huge few weeks for you x

You must have very nimble fingers to attempt sewing such minute pieces! Love the crochet blanket, an excellent way to use up bits and pieces of leftover yarn.
