Christmas Crochet (amongst other things!!)

Christmas crochet has been the name of the game, this week!



I made a few Christmas mats, in reds and greens.



They are backed with red or green felt and trimmed with Ric Rac.





Whilst crochet was on my mind, I noticed this book on Amazon...but it's not out until 2010!

Tomorrow, I am venturing to the Torquay Town Hall Fleamarket...held every Thursday morning. It's a small affair
but I live in hope that I will unearth a hidden gem... or two!
On Friday... it's our wedding anniversary!
How we've ever made it to 16 years, I will never know...words like 'fortitude' , 'determination'... and 'tolerance' spring to mind!!
LOL! ;-)
We're off out for the day ...so watch this space!

    I love those - perfect for under a Christmas cuppa! I wish I could remember how to crochet - I was taught as a child but it has been forgotten somewhere in the recesses of my brain!

    Hope you & Mr Snippets have a super day on Friday.

    It looks to me as though you are truly back in the groove Sal.. Don't wear yourself before the big day. As for the other big day.. I hope you and T both have a very Happy Anniversary.

    Welcome back Sal ... so glad to see you back in action and what lovely crochet ... there's nothing like settling down on a dark cold evening with the old hook and some lovely yarn is there. Good luck with the flea market x

    Very pretty mats, but I see you're working hard again, so do try and pace yourself even though you love crafting (is there such a word? Well, there is now!)
    And Happy Anniversary for Friday!
