I couldn't come away without bringing a little bit of something to do, even though I've not managed to do much yet. So I brought the little bag I made (and shared) a few weeks ago, which I've turned into my 'little project' bag...it's just the right size to hold a few balls of yarn and a hook. Inside there are several balls of different coloured yarns, a hook and scissors and yarn needle. I am making a granny square throw, something I've said I'll make for ages but not quite got round to. I'm know I'm not alone with the planned-but-never-quite-started project! What's yours? I'm aiming to make squares as and when I can, in between other things, though being honest I do seem to have a few unfinished projects lying around. ...
I've also brought a little project for Caoimhe to do. We watched Kirstie Allsop together a month or so back and Caoimhe was fascinated by the cross stitch she did. So I searched for a little child's kit for her, eventually finding one for a couple of quid in Wilkos. We've made a little start on it but really need to get time on our own to do it I think as Tig was desperate to get involved too. It has been some time since I last did a cross stitch too so I am a bit rusty!
It's time to have a look at Handmade Monday and see what everyone's been up to. And we should get ready for a (rather wet) day out in York. Have a great week.
Til next time!

Helen, I can fully understand the 'planned but never started' things. As well as that I have loads of planned, spent a few minutes on the abandoned'. Very frustrating and I keep telling myself that if I run out of things to do, I have lots of go back and finish. As if! Hope you enjoy your holiday.
Your bag makes a great little place for carrying some crafty bits with you - there's always so many little bits and pieces that otherwise get lost. I first did cross stitch as a child and its a great introduction to crafting.
I have a few of started but not quite finished things :)
Granny squares are a great thing to do in between other things or to take on holiday as it's not too much to carry about with you. Have a great time with the kiddies.

A lovely bag. Unfortunately I have several of these types of bags (non as nice as yours) that have various projects in, in various states! If only I could limit myself to one.
I always take something crafty when I'm going to be out for at least one night. I hate the idea of not having anything to do.
I have a few projects on my to do list to. A granny square blanket is one of them but I need to learn how to crochet properly first!
I hope your daughter is enjoying her cross stitch.
Have a great week.
Hope you had a great time in York! I love it there! I have recorded Kirstie programme and she has another series too - just have to wait till hubby out the way lol!
I always have my knitting bag with me, with a project on the go. It's great your daughter is joining in with the crafty stuff as well. Have a good week, Jo x
