Going with the flow

So I'm still plodding on with these cushions covers. No clear idea of what I'm doing, no pattern, nothing, just going with the flow.
It's a good job I quite like mismatched things because apart from the colours, they don't look anything like each other at all!!! Lol

So this is the one I'm making at the moment. I'll be putting a matching stripe on the other side of course but I haven't planned ahead any further than that yet.


I made this sort of granny triangle as I was thinking of using this somehow as the flap fastening. Not sure yet.



So onto other things.
I've had to put a word verification on my comment box, which I apologise for but unfortunately I'm getting lots of spam emails, so I'm hoping to prevent them from now on.
It's so annoying.
It's all on one of my older posts and I can't see how to block them. I seem to have blocked the actual comments on my blog but the emails are still arriving thick and fast. I've blocked the sender and the senders domain so it must be changing all the time and it looks like it's one of those computer generated things with links to sites they want you to visit.
Anyhow, I'm hoping this might sort things as it will hopefully stop them being able to access the comments.

Talking of spam, I'm off for a weeks holiday in a couple of weeks time, so I bought some internet allowance for my ipad so that I can spam up my blog with pictures galore, lol

We're taking our youngest son, my mum and an elderly friend of the family that we look after, with us.
So with 2 pensioners, one with heart problems and the other with dementia/ Alzhiemers, I think we will need to have relaxing evenings.
That being the case, I thought it would be good to take along some knitting or crochet or both!! Lol
Most people spend time debating which clothes to take away, me, I'm just like yeah whatever, they'll do. But when it comes to which project/s to take, it's a completely different ball game. Much careful thought and debating with myself is the order of the day. lol

Priorities and all that!!

  1. I love the colors of your cushion covers. The colors are like a garden. How brave of you to just wing it and create your own pattern. Congrats on going on holiday. I hope you have a wonderful time.

    1. Thanks Lorri,
      I'm not sure if it was brave really, might end up really regretting not using proper patterns, lol

      Still a week and a half until the holiday but I'm definitely ready for it.

    1. Thanks Pam, I hope they turn out a bit presentable by the time I've finished fiddling around with them. It all seemed like a good idea to start with, I just hope I don't mess up, lol.

  4. Good morning Kim, I think we as bloggers should use word verification, I personally haven't had any problems with G+ commenting but you're not the first to experience spam in this manner.

    I think your cushions with all the same colour way but different designs will look fab, the colours will match and the designs will make them interesting.

    Have a great holiday and choose projects that are portable lol xx

    1. Hi Linda
      So far so good, no more spammy emails I'm glad to say.

      I'm not sure my idea of portable projects and hubby's match up somehow, lol ;)
