Very bad blogger, I've just looked and I didn't post at all in April... so firstly, hello, I'm still here and kicking.
Part of the reason I haven't been blogging is I haven't been cross stitching, and I don't like to post crochet too much because I mostly do blankets, and I'm aware that once you've seen a couple of stripes you've seen them all... however, I finished my first blanket this week,which is a present for my Grandad. It also survived the washing machine, which I'm incredibly releived about. Having been working on this on and off for about six months I think I would have cried if it hadn't.
I have other projects to work on so hopefully I'll be able to post some more updates and try to remember to post once a week again, it's mostly crochet, but there are a few things that aren't blankets, and there is a cross stitch project in my future... I'm definitely missing my own projects at the moment, but I reckon it's going to be a few months before I'm able to get back to that... although my reward is to completely blow off my 2016 plans and allow some new starts once I've got everything I need to done.
The other reason for not posting is I did go on holiday for a week (I got sunburnt in Wales, I'm still amazed by that), and we've been manic at work, having had a few people off sick, so I've been working longer hours and coming home knackered!
Anyway, he's my pretty colourful blankets, and hopefully I'll get back to posting more recently.

Gorgeous blanket! Nice to hear from you. I hope things calm down for you soon and you find time to get back to your stitching.
That is gorgeous! Hope work eases up and you can work on some of your projects, no matter what kind.
Congrats on the finish! And on it surviving the wash lol. It looks great :)
It's beautiful and yay for surviving the first wash lol
The blanket is lovely :)
Congrats on your first blanket finish and, although I miss your stitch updates, I know not everyone can stitch 24/7! We'll be here whenever you get back to stitching!
Stress at work does wear you out! I know I want to just sit in front of the TV on days like that.
Lovely blanket!!
Lovely blanket finish! I think there's a pun in there LOL! Missing your stitching updates but love the plan to blow off all plans and make some fresh starts. Good job!!
