Sometimes when something I make isn't perfect I feel I need to change it. I have something I'm working on now that I wasn't happy with but I'm going to finish it and appreciate the character of it like you said. Have a wonderful day!Becahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024493869226636181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-19035549890991456302011-05-12T16:59:47.372+01:002011-05-12T16:59:47.372+01:00I've always been led to believe that the reaso...I've always been led to believe that the reason granny squares go wonky is because they're not turned at the end of a round.YarnRoundHookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236467315705385693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-21891226607332050012011-04-16T07:07:28.819+01:002011-04-16T07:07:28.819+01:00Hi Gilly, I just came across this blog post that s...Hi Gilly, I just came across this blog post that suggests a way to stop the large granny squares from skewing.

I couldn't work out what was going on as there were no errors. I still don't really know about blocking because I'm new to the crochet game, but I just kept tugging at it in opposite directions and it straightened out eventually. I was a bit rough - so lucky it survived! I always remind myself of something my dear Nana used to say ... "a blind man would be pleased to see it". It always makes me feel better when I've made a mistake. Have a lovely week!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245743010825956078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-34483631672453991062011-03-31T22:27:51.287+01:002011-03-31T22:27:51.287+01:00Thanks guys, you all say the nicest things!

I adore Camellia plants. I tried to plant a small one last year but it didn't survive for some reason.. will have to get another one! I agree about the red lampshades they do give a nice feel to a room.. and the crochet and patchwork cushions are just beautiful...the wonkiness is barely noticable!

The camellia flowers look lovely floating in water, such a shame to just throw them away. The cheesecake looks delicious, what a talented daughter you've got and the pretty dish just sets it off. Your crochet cushion is gorgeous, homemade is so much more appealing than perfection. I keep seeing lots of crochet on blogs, I'm going to have to learn as it looks wonderful.

I do try to make it cosy, comfy and welcoming above anything else, and try not to follow interior design trends but just see them as inspirational! On a budget it makes it so much more fun......<br />And of course you only see the tidy bits and not the mess eveywhere else as I naughtily spend time sowing and sewing instead of cleaning and vacuuming!gillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-30138310969000046262011-03-31T14:20:05.671+01:002011-03-31T14:20:05.671+01:00Wow your polka dot dish is amazing...along with yo...Wow your polka dot dish is amazing...along with your shades it was so fun seeing your beautiful home and that lovely glass cabinet!!!<br />George went to the groomers yesterday he's so little now with all of his hair gone!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009418311664981767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-52891855169577873812011-03-31T13:23:32.730+01:002011-03-31T13:23:32.730+01:00Hi Gill, thanks for the mention, you're very k...Hi Gill, thanks for the mention, you're very kind, so glad you are happy with your scarf!<br />I love your TK Maxx dish, it's gorgeous and your daughter's cheesecake looks yummy.<br />I can't see any reason for your cushion being wonky, have you tried blocking it, it may just need stretched into shape, the colours are wonderful! :)<br />Vivienne xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-18509976114503989142011-03-31T13:18:49.957+01:002011-03-31T13:18:49.957+01:00Love your post today, your home looks lovely and I...Love your post today, your home looks lovely and I adore your pink and red theme :)<br /><br />Bee happy x<br />Have a delicious day!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543516391837137832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-55438337998110645832011-03-31T13:06:27.171+01:002011-03-31T13:06:27.171+01:00Lovely Gill, your home looks cosy and welcoming.

I was thinking how the colours in it really gave the whole arrangement some va va voom! Surely you could just give it a bit of a tug and it would be square? Love all your finds, you really are a bit of an expert bargain hunter. Loving the pinks and reds too. I could just eat a bit of that cheesecake now too!
