It has been a busy and blustery week this week. Having took some time off work whilst we had some decorating completed, I found myself able to sit out of the way of the workman and inspired to finish some WIPs!! Yes, you did hear me correctly!! Having initially planned to do this back in January, it didn’t work out so well!!
So, my first finished WIP this week was to complete my second of two bolster cushion covers, ready for the ends of the sofa in the freshly decorated living room. The carpet will be going down this week, so, I am looking forward to getting back to a little normality as all the furniture returns to its rightful place!

These cushion inserts were bought . I mentioned in a previous post, I took the motif pattern itself from a bag pattern inside a wonderful book called ‘geek Chic Crochet’ by Nicki Trench. You can find the book .
The weathers continued to be blustery and downright grey looking all week, and I found I was heavily reliant on my wonderful new Daylight lamp which my hubbie got me for my little craft corner for Christmas. You can find one
I found I needed it one day this week, as I even got a cross stitch WIP out! I have been working on the Lavender & Lace ladies for some time now, but, gradually, as crochet and other yarns projects have taken over, have. It done so much of late. But, as I worked on my project, I remembered how much I used to enjoy it!

This is the last one of the collection that I have done, this particular one is Winter. I am almost done with the bottom edge of it, then it requires beading across the whole image. You can see the patterns
Finally, just yesterday, we had some of our doors returned from the door strippers! We are removing the original ones and one by one taking them back to their original state, replacing door furniture and are about to begin waxing them soon!! I was saddened to find though that one of them has a considerable amount of damage on one side where somebody has been at it with a blow lamp!! So, my quest now begins to source a replacement door which is similar to the others, or to find a way to restore the damage if at all possible!
So, here is my current hallway situation!!

The more observant amongst you may notice the damaged door at the far end. It has blackened burn type patches all over it on one side!
Well, I have a feeling it is going to be a busy week ahead!
Hope you are all healthy and happy wherever you are!
