I love art, knitting, books! On the 1st July 2025, I started my #knittingthealphabet where I'm attempting to knit through the alphabet! ๐Ÿงถ Mostly knitting, crochet and nature posts.

Oh thank you so much! I was initially hoping to finish the alphabet by the end of the year, but that's definitely not going to happen! ๐Ÿ˜ The crochet project is the Scheepjes yearly blanket CAL, but my Mom has been telling me how lovely it would on her table from Part 4, lol!

Hehe, it was yummy!! I tried a cinnamon and nutmeg base for the apricot portion, but it was slightly tart - think I would tweak it a little if I made it again and perhaps try a crumble topping!! Was delicious with the vanilla ice cream though!! ๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿฐโœจโœจโœจ

Thank you so much!! And you should do it!! โœจ๐Ÿงถ Lol, it's been a lot of fun, and has inspired me to try some things I wouldn't normally do!

Lemon Drizzle Socks pattern by Debbie Ford A sweet treat in the afternoon, with some knitting, and a cup of tea is one of my favourite things to do before the busyness of teatime and getting ready for work or school the next day. This collecti...

It's a stunning pattern, and a free Ravelry download too!! And I completely agree about the name it is wonderful, but the best part is the yellow yarn's colourway is called lemon too! ๐Ÿ‹

This blend is from a local company, I have a few others too, clarity and focus, and the breathe blend. Never thought of trying one for sleep, I'll definitely be looking for a sleep roll on, thank you for the suggestion!

Lol, I think the name is little misleading, when I saw the it I was thinking more earthy notes, like cedar, sandalwood or bergamot, but... It's a floral blend of rose and vanilla, it's lovely though and I find it quite soothing, it seems both rose ans vanilla reduce stress and anxiety โœจ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
