WOYWW 860 Squirrel,& blanket crochet

Hi all,
I’m joining in with our weekly bloghop care of Sarah’s craftshed. Sending big hugs to Neet in hospital and hoping you’re on the mend. 
Firstly, here’s my desk. I suspect shares in Schminke masking fluid will have gone up this week, as I’ve used so much on my squirrel painting. I think another coat of dark green is needed, but here’s what it looks like now. 

I’ve also been colour matching for the fur. 

I’ll be back at art class tomorrow, where we’re learning about techniques for painting fur. 
My chevron blanket is nearing completion and I’m still steadfastly looking away from my next project as I need to get the blanket done. Bella is helping of course. Here, she’s testing it for snuggles. It passes😻
My shoulder has improved, thanks to a steroid injection from my friendly physio, and my finger’s getting better. That’s enough now!
It was a beautiful day today, cold but bright. I see our apricot tree is getting confused as it’s flowering already. Not good news as we doubt these blossoms will set fruit. 


And finally…



I’ll be round to visit after art class - put the kettle on!
Happy WOYWW 
Hugs

Oh the funnies made me laugh out loud!! I’m so glad your shoulder and finger are better, that’s good news. I’ve never used masking fluid, should give it a try - in the New Year, I’m going to be setting aside more time to paint, I’ve got all these glorious colours and they’re just sitting in the drawer….daft eh? The blanket colours are gorgeous and Bella looks very snuggly indeed!

Great to hear your shoulder and finger are feeling better. Bella enjoys your crochet! I look forward to seeing your squirrel progress. Happy WOYWW. Angela #4

I depend on those funnies to give me a lift every WOYWW. You never disappoint. Bella looks comfy, and the background on the squirrel is looking fab too. Very misty and atmospheric. Love how it's beginning. Relieved to hear you are improving. Let's hope it keeps up, and no tugging on bags. Let them lie and let the hubby sort it for you! That's what I am learning to do, rather than tumble over and get myself into strife! Happy day late WOYWW!

Hi Lynne!
Great news on the shoulder. I never could get the hang of the chevron stitch. I have an afgha in chevron my sister made me 53 years ago. I was 12 - you do the math LOL. I still use that afghan every wintr.
Those funnies.... oh my! LOL
Creative Blessings and gigles!
