Lazy Daisy Jones

Crochet Lifestyle

Its a wrap, crochet garments

02/05/2013


I love all the catalogues that come through my letterbox…

Some are printed on lovely thick paper and are as thick and as heavy as a magazine! Most of the clothes in them are expensive. So I end up just looking at the pictures….

Now I do NOT like to crochet clothes….I like to crochet ‘things’ critters and suchlike…

…….and to me a good old  granny square really does look best on things like blankets and cushions and rugs  not clothes…….?

Lacey is ok but it does not keep us warm and just catches on everything…

Unless you look like this, then you don’t need to be warm and you are probably never ever cold…..

and the prices…..Goodness gracious £89.00? From this label

Now I do believe my age may be peeping out at last…Grump old woman moi, what are your views

would you wear a granny?

Bestest….

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

First dress #isabellatop by @hubbadingpatterns 
Second @mccallpatterncompany #m7969
Third my favourite #validress by @patternfantastique

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
