Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

Christmas gifts and now I have to do two more


Well soup bowl cozies finished and handed over to daughter NΒΊ 1. Success because she has asked me to make 2 more. Cookie's Monster High dolls' bag completed too. It's as weird as the dolls themselves. :-)

Time gap


Dearie me what a long time since my last post. I'm really fed up of saying time flies...and time this and time that ....in fact when I think about it everyone is complaining about lack of time! I get the impression we live at a faster pace than ever now and that having plenty of time is a rarity.    Anyhow I keep up with my crochet as its part of my therapy (self-imposed) and I've finshed Cookie's Monster High bag....she was very pleased with it even if it did turn out a little larger than I had planned and three dolls can fit in it. I'll post a photo soon.   I also finished the soup bowl cozys in time to give them to my daughter for Christmas...soup bowls included. I took  a trip with hubby up to Agost one Sunday morning and picked up some terracotta bowls...the finishing touch. They were a success and daughter No.1 asked for two more to make it a set of 4 bowls + cozys. I don't really like repeating a pattern but under the circumstances and being daughter No 1 I will have to.   Ok photo of that soon too. :-)
