What I should be doing: packing boxes for our imminent move. Our we’re NOT moving again move. The one where we move to the seaside and ooh it’s really exciting because I’ve always dreamt of living in a big rambling Victorian house by the sea.
What I am doing: making crochet hearts because I can imagine them hanging across the big black iron fireplace in the grown-up sitting room. Because there IS a grown up sitting room. And a playroom with a huge oak fireplace. And an attic that looks over the roofs to the sea.
(the pattern for making the hearts is here, incidentally, for those of you on the Facebook page who asked – if you’re not on there, come and say hello).
So I think there should be a bit more packing boxes (look, the joy of instagram is you can even make packing look pretty)
and a bit less faffing about making crochet hearts. But anyway. We’ll get there in the end.
PS – the finished garland. Now I MUST pack.

I use that same pattern (also the butterfly, from the same website), but never to do anything as ambitious and clever as stringing them together and hanging them up. I sometimes affix them to a plain card for birthday/thank you cards.
Envious of your end destination, but not the packing and moving. The last time, we moved something like 36 tonnes of stuff — a tonne of books alone, according to the movers. Where are they now, five years later? In boxes, in the garage.
