Thrifty Blanket

Look what I found!!!

I had to share with you the cutest blanket that I found at the thrift shop today.

I couldn't resist it! I always have a weak spot for anything crochet at the thrift stores or estate sales.

Perfect size for napping and cuddling. Sophie loves it of course! I'm amazed how much work went into this beauty! It's quite big (fits on my full size bed) and is great condition (no holes or pills).

 Thank you all for the sweet comments and support on my last post. I can't tell you how much each one meant to me!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Instagram

Hi everyone! I know I have been a naughty blogger and haven't posted in a while. 

Things are a little stressful here. I'm not ready to discuss it yet, so things may 

be a little slow here for a bit longer, but I promise it will pick back up soon!

In the meantime I have officially jumped on the instagram bandwagon! You can find me 

there as hopscotchlane, and can keep up with my everyday happenings which includes

lots of crochet, Sophie, and home coziness. If you are on instagram I would love to 

find you (I'm always looking for more fun people to follow)

so feel free to follow me or drop me a comment :)

patchwork pillow

I've been a crochet machine this past week. A few pillows made and a couple blankets started and some almost finished.

My favorite part of every night is curling up in bed with my puppy, netflix, and my hook and yarn with a couple hours of complete relaxation. It has been such a great stress reliever lately.

Here's the latest pillow. It is just a simple granny square pattern made with 100% cotton. I am loving the happy colors!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

WIP Spring Day Blanket

Here's a little sneak peak of the newest blanket I've been working on. Pattern inspired by Haken en Meer! More details to come :)
 

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day my lovelies!

 Hope you all are spending it with those you love! 

Have a wonderful day!

Needlepoint

Not much creativity has been happening at Hopscotch Lane, it must be the winter doldrums. February is always the longest month for me to get through.


I did get a little bit of stitching done. This was my first time trying needlepoint and I loved it (so much faster than cross stitch). The pattern is from Cath Kidston's "Stitch" book.

4 years today

Hi everyone! Can you believe its already a week into February?!

I just had to share a photo of  little Sophie! It's been 4 years today that we adopted her. Time sure does fly!

Hope you are all having a great week!
