I haven't been out again today though not through choice, Cassie my Picasso was at the garage having MOT and service and failed :-( She needed new brakes lines and fluid, is now all fixed and is good to go! :-) I have been worried about her all day, silly as she is only a car! But I do love her so, she is lovely to drive, spacious and I feel very safe driving her. We have had her now for six and a half years and she is a good family car and tow car <3
So not much crocheting or card making done today as I have been having a minor but boring spring clean in the house. I have also gone through both freezers and the fridge and had a sort out. Anything that was old, half used or not been delved in for a while has gone in the bin. I need to go shopping again now to re-stock.
Today I made this blue crochet flower garland (1). I have hung it up at my kitchen window (2) to brighten it up!

I also had a go at making this crochet hexagon (to make a table runner) which was in Homemaker magazine which I received yesterday. It is very pretty and delicate. I haven't got any thread that thin though so I thought I'd practice on wool............lets just say that I'm still not up to following written patterns just yet!
1 - Here is attempt 1, I know where I went wrong, I put too many stitches in so it looks "fluted"
2 - attempt 2, again I put too many stitches in so started again with number 3
3 - I stopped deliberately at this size as I thought it would a be a cute size for a coaster!
4 - attempt 4, still not perfect but getting better!
I will keep trying, practice makes perfect!

No pancakes for pancake day here, I can't believe we have run out of eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! We always have eggs in as Roman is mad on them, but I used them all up yesterday to make boiled eggs not releasing it was pancake day today, aaargggh!
EDIT - Woo Hoo!!!
I tried to do another hexagon before bed, I left it for a few hours to start again with fresh eyes and I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (almost!)
It is still not perfect, if you look into round three, one of the treble corner crochets is a group of three when it should be a group of two. Never mind, it is not that noticeable and at least this one has regained the hexagon shape! I will try to do another one tomorrow.
