As you may know i started my journey this time last year so have been busy planning a giveaway!! yipee with 50 Followers too what could be better?
but first lets take a sneek peek back in time ~~~~

I made squares for Sibol :0) that have been incorperated into a blanket or two, maybe 3 maybe 4 haha
now you'll have to forgive me because i know there's a few missing one or two Christmas squares a bonfire square guess i was too excited to mail them off before snapping their pics :0) Do pop over to Flickr to the lovely MRS TWIN'S photostream to see all the blankets made, and squares recieved to date, they're fabulous ....
you might just catch a glimpse of the missing squares i'm talking about hehe  

I also made granny square's for a swap over on Ravelry ~~~ again there's a set missing as i dashed of to the post office to send before snapping it's pic what am i like haha
The famous trademark butterfly by Netspets made an appearance in every single set :)
I made some blanket's some finished some not quite hehe

Ooh i remember these well one of the not quite finished ones  is very near it's tadahh post :) hehe

Did you have fun on my journey :) ?
I do hope so ~~~ so what has 2011 in store in this creative mind of mine? well let's kick off with a gorgeous pattern available from the Royal sister's Blog and the lovely Michelle :)
I spotted a cushion she had made last year and decided that i wanted to make it for my son so following her link to her etsy shop  i purchased the Grandma's English cushion pattern :)
i hope i did it justice for her xxx

I did a Ben sherman's logo for the back, he loves it but hasn't given me chance to sew on the button's yet!! haha He even picked them out himself before dashing off to his bedroom and clinging onto it like there's no tomorrow haha That's ok i'll leave it a while longer just so he knows it's deffinately his bless xxx
let me tell you a little about the yarn i used ~~~ it was bargainous Merino !! i spotted it in a lovely quaint little yarn shop in the sale! As luck happened there were plenty red just 3 balls of navy and the one off white ....
so i purchased 2 red 3 navy and 1 off white, I used less than half of one ball of red and off white and just started the 3rd ball of navy :) good ay This was adrafil classic 100% merino machine washable :)

I also pounced upon this Material at a different shop but fell head over heels with it

I'm thinking a bag liner or case liner or or or ...... hehe
I also a little while back came across this little beauty to store my hooks in
