I love a good granny stripe blanket, and a while ago started this project inspired by Just Be Crafty. I loved the colours and simple pattern.
I tend to try to complete one crochet blanket a year, but with life having been a bit crazy the past two years, I’ve neglected crochet a bit until lately.
I usually get asked who I’m making my blankets for, and while in the past I have made special blankets for family members, I feel no shame in adding to my unhealthy pile of crochet blankets in our lounge. My motto is, you can never have too many crochet blankets.
So here’s to another fun blanket completed, and here’s to a new one I’m about to start once I’ve uploaded this post, and I can’t wait!
Well, it’s been a while but we’ve finally finished the last indoor room of our house - the family bathroom.
Before and afters:
This room was a dark wooden and very damp room and needed quite a bit of work which included my poor husband having to build a whole new wall for our shower due to the walls being so un-square!
We toyed with the idea of a new bath or keeping the claw foot bath - and of course the claw foot won. We also toyed with different layout options but decided to keep the privacy wall for the toilet area and are happy with the final fresh makeover.
There is still a floor spot to varnish and a couple of walls I’d like to find art for, but overall we are super happy with this space!
Massive shout out to my long suffering husband who did most of this renovation on his own - love you 😘
Room Details:
Walls = Dulux Half Haast with Okarito ceiling and trims.
