It is hard to believe its already November and nearly Christmas! All the Christmas decorations are in the stores and the busyness of end of the year has begun. It has been a very busy week and my husband was also away on business. We spent a much needed relaxing weekend at my nieces apartment in Camps Bay while she is way overseas. There is something so simple and beautiful about this seaside little bay near Cape Town city centre. We took a long walk along the coastal road and stopped at a favourite coffee shop "Baked". Delicious cinnamon croissants and the much needed strong cappacino!
I never get tired of watching the sunset with my man!
Sunday morning we ventured back to our coffee shop for almond croissants! I think this could become a Sunday morning tradition! Just like every morning in Paris!
I could not resist this pattern when I saw it on one of my favourite crochet blogs - http://byhaafner.blogspot.co.za/! The first square of a new blanket! I am using MoYa yarn in a gorgeous - Lilac colour. This pattern is using a new stitch I learnt - the Popcorn stitch! I love the way it "pops" out!
I started joining the little hexagons together for the little baby blanket for my niece. Slowly making progress.
My first large granny square blanket is now all finished and being put to good use! Magazine, coffee and chocolate break!

A friends yarn order is all packaged and ready to deliver! She chose a lovely cream -" Sand" and is making a beautiful skirt. I will post pictures when she is finished.
I am now a MoYa yarn supplier - so if you are interested in ordering please send me an email and I will send you my catalogue of colours.
This week I plan to start a few gifts for Christmas presents and a new little Christmas cross stitch!
What are your Christmas plans?
Happy creating xx
Shirley
