Colour is so important for us all, isn't it?<br />I love the two flowers that you have already given us. I shall look forward to seeing the next ones!

I love your color palettes for the two crochet projects that you have in hands and I look forward to see how they look like once finished. Thank you very much for echoing my challenge and joining it with these two beautiful flowers. I have created a Pinterest board to also gather all the flowers crocheted throughout 2020 there, and I've already added yours. I wish you a month of February is as happy and stimulating as January has been.

We have paths/sidewalks everywhere here on the outskirts of the town centre and even in the town. I can walk regularly every day because we have no snow or ice on the roads this year. I have created a good circuit in my neighbourhood which is virtually traffic free. Three times around is 30 minutes.<br />I'm glad you like the crochet!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-33453516249889129142020-01-28T01:17:51.668+01:002020-01-28T01:17:51.668+01:00Looks like you've had a good month, Sandra wit...Looks like you've had a good month, Sandra with all that walking and your crochet :) I'm so glad I have a cozy hobby like my cross-stitching to keep me busy during the cold winter months. I walk 4-5 miles each day, but usually on my treadmill during the winter. We don't live in an area where it is easy to walk--too much traffic and no sidewalks. But, once spring arrives, I'll look forward to walking outside again at a nearby park. Thank you for sharing all of your pretty crochet and photos with us once again. Enjoy this last week of January β₯Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-46405079554169987522020-01-27T21:41:06.082+01:002020-01-27T21:41:06.082+01:00Thanks, Catherine.

The next blanket will be bigger than 6x8, the sizes were important to make exactly 6, however, Iβm making more than that overall too. Beautiful daffodils.
