<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've not taken part in a Crochet Along before (CAL for short) but this one has really taken my fancy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A friend introduced me to the Facebook group last week. It is being organised by <a href="https://www.blacksheepwools.com/spice-of-life-cal">Black Sheep Wools </a>in collaboration with Sandra from the <a href="http://sandra-cherryheart.blogspot.co.uk/">Cherry Heart</a> blog.</div>

I've finally got round to doing something I have been meaning to do for ages!<br />
<br />
List my Ombre Crocheted Granny Square Blanket on Etsy...<br />
<br />
Over the years I have loved making these for friends, sometimes for their babies, or their wedding present or special birthday celebrations.<br />
<br />
I make them using three strands of wool at a time, adding a colour and dropping a colour as I need to to get the ombre effect I love.<br />
<br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I'm making another ombre blanket. About half way there. Just wanted to document my thought process for how I choose colours. Sometimes the colour scheme takes on a life of it's own. I find it gets very addictive as I can't wait to add the next colour to see what effect it will make.<br />
<br />
This blanket is being crocheted with two strands of double knit acrylic yarn with a size eight hook. Each colour combo is crocheted over two rows before dropping and adding a colour. <br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Made the enriched dough recipe for my bread machine, used 3oz wholewheat flour and 6oz of white. Mixed 300gr shredded chicken, handful of cooked broccoli, 2 tbsp pesto, and handful of grated cheese together. Rolled out the dough into a rectangle. Spread out the mixture. Roll up and slightly pull. Sprinkle some flour around the roll. Cut into 8 pieces and public in a warm place to rise for 20mins. Put in iven and switch on to 200/gm6. Cook for approx 30 mins. Check after 20 mins.<br />
<br />
Allow to cool down before ripping apart and devouring heartily.<br />

I made this in May for a dear friend's little girl. I wanted to give her something that would be practical and pretty, and also something I hope she'll like when she's older. The pattern can be found {<a href="http://appleblossomdreams.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a>} on a fab crocheting blog called Apple Blossom Dreams. There is even a Youtube tutorial if you need it.<br />

I love this owl punch from Stampin' Up. I was commissioned to make a baby boy card for a friend (that's not scribble on the name plate, I just blanked it out a bit). The lace border punch is also from Stampin Up, ooh and the pearls! I can't stop using them!<br />

Sorry I've not been blogging much of late. Been having lots of busy days with the school holidays and doing some classes. I don't know if you remember, but a while ago I was choosen to be a guest designer for <a href="http://www.scraprevolution.co.uk/home.php"><b>Scrap Revolution</b></a>. I had a lovely package of paper, buttons, lace, chipboard letters and card stock sent to me last month. So I have also been busy working on three items that will soon be revealed on their <a href="http://www.scraprevolution.blogspot.com/"><b>blog</b></a>.<br />
