I can't get over that gorgeous blanket, its lush! I bet they were delighted with it, I know I would be! As for jam making again, putting me to shame. Another item that's been on my list, it is my usual christmas present, so I better get cracking on. I am just a little in love with that kitchen of yours, eeesh, I have kitchen envy!! xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158185159178181078.post-20226865865113428032014-10-22T13:58:02.432-07:002014-10-22T13:58:02.432-07:00I have just stumbled across your blog via pintrest...I have just stumbled across your blog via pintrest.

The blanket you made is gorgeous, I love the edging and it's always my favourite part of blanket making too, it really turns a blanket into something special I think. I have made a couple of things which people have paid me to do and I really did not enjoy it at all! I like working with colours I like that I have chosen and I don't like to feel rushed with what I'm making....so never again! Love making gifts though!<br />Marianne xLadybird Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981357993554999915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158185159178181078.post-48226977490257195462014-10-16T01:29:44.282-07:002014-10-16T01:29:44.282-07:00Ah thank you Amy, you truly do always say the swee...Ah thank you Amy, you truly do always say the sweetest things.

It looks as though you have gotten masses done. I don't know how you would begin to work out to charge for one of your beautiful blankets, they are so lovely they must be worth thousands of pounds! (unrealistic I realise!) I love the leaves for your flower vases, such a lovely idea and a great way to use the leaves and bring the touch of autumn in! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158185159178181078.post-48122493322422691062014-10-15T08:47:10.901-07:002014-10-15T08:47:10.901-07:00Hi Kate,

I have only made a couple of small things for people that have been paid, and I hated it! As soon as I accepted it, I felt under pressure. I didn't like having to make it to their colours (as there are some colours I just REALLY struggle to work with!) and I found it a complete chore and not a joy. It made me realise I'm not cut out to make and sell! Never again!<br /><br />I'm loving your autumnal jars. Such a wonderful idea, and they look so cute!<br /><br />Have a fab rest of a week!<br /><br />Vanessa xxxCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158185159178181078.post-64446887091621785002014-10-15T07:34:10.685-07:002014-10-15T07:34:10.685-07:00Hi Kate, what a truly beautiful blanket! I love yo...Hi Kate, what a truly beautiful blanket! I love your monocromatic blankets very much. And the border is the most important, of course. I also love working with lists but sometimes I just don't dare writing a list because I know that it would get too long. I just squint my eyes and try to deal with the most important things not thinking about all the other odds and ends that need to be done. Your chutney looks delicious and it reminds me that I have to make apple puree out of our tons of apples patiently waiting in the garden....
