Nuts about Lock down

I'm nuts about most things, most of the time. I sit here typing as my embroidery machine stitches up a design I created last week, next to my ever growing lovely pile of 'Nuts about squares' crocheted squares. Once the embroidery finishes, I will begin another square.

Its lock down time you see. I'm working from home but its the last weekend of the Easter holidays so I have thoroughly loved sitting in the garden crocheting these Nuts about squares designs.

I'm an Engineering lecturer by day and when I ponder on how that happened, but more so how that could possibly relate to my crafts, it all falls at the feet of repeat patterns, shapes, geometry and symmetry. Throw on top of that my extreme love of colour, and here I am!



It's all in a Nutshell designs can be found here. Enjoy!

Hope and wonderment in 2010

Somewhere out there is a bright shining star. 
It shines as bright as I do, strong, powerful and capable. 
There is a winding path to this star, it is lit up all the way but I can only see up to the first bend. 
It is lit in oranges and reds, winds off in front of me then bends away towards the right. 
I would love to meet this star that shines as bright as I do, and wonder if I have already. 
Is this just hope or do I really see it? 
I suppose they are one and the same.
