Talking about time travel...I am already in the first day of March. Here, it is exactly 8am on a warm and humid Friday morning. 😊
Although I did visit Paris once when my eldest son was two years old. We were waiting for the lights to change so that we could cross the road to a bakery on the other side of a busy Rue Saint Dominique. My little son was in my arms but just as we were about to step off the curb, a speeding scooter whizzed by! We got such a fright! But it almost instantly turned to delight when the girl passenger on the scooter tossed a large teddy bear our way! She laughed and waved as we caught it! Doux et beaux souvenirs de Paris💗
On another more "work" related note. For all you Yarnarinnas who are well into hooking your High Tea, hang on to those warmed up hooks because the extended part is not far off! As I mentioned before, High Tea is part of four large floral themed afghan blocks. Each block will be extended to a Throw. The extended parts will be offered as a separate pattern so that you can mix and match extensions and squares! However, you don't have to extend your block. You can make all the squares and then work them together to make a blanket of any size you like ( depending on the number of squares you work together ). I'm into being flexible. Can you tell? 😁
If you're on Instagram please do #highteafloralblock or #hooksntales to share your finished pieces so that we can all admire your lovely work. Oh my word, you are all so talented with your colourways!
I can't share them all here but do view them on IG, and on the Ravelry pattern page.

DeleteLove these colors..Thank you...
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! xx
ReplyDeleteHi, Jen, I love, and have most all your designs. I know you love the florals, and they are out of this world. I am asking if you could come up with one of your blocks for a "Man's Man" design, not just colours, but a real macho type design?
ReplyDeleteCould you have a go at that?
Thanks in advance. From Edith in HOT hot Australia at the moment.
Hello dear Edith! Thank you for you kind words.:-) xox It's SO hot here too...can't wait for Winter! :D In reply to your question the answer is no,nopey no, no. Hahahaha...you see, having being raised in a very boy-centric household, and with three sons myself...I am holding on tight to all my girly-things, pink, bling, skirts, earrings and perfume, and floral crochet blocks. If I ever make a Manghan you'll know I've been abducted by Aliens who left behind a replica of me. :D
DeleteOh, I know what you mean, I am from Army background, Father army, 4 army,one navy brothers, both my kids navy cadets. I have tried to come up with a few things myself, got one block that I don't think is too bad. Made loads of front post stitching for warmth and texture. I'll see how it goes. I had a "good belly laugh" reading your comment, the Aliens thing got me.do keep your girly stuff alive,we need that.Thank you ,Jen, for your beautiful works.
