Hooking Happiness - It's Cheaper Than Therapy


I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something you can be thankful for..no matter how simple it is. 

I purchased this gorgeous hand dyed wool in March when I was staying with Mum, originally it was for me, however, as I hooked away during the weekend the colours just didn't 'grab' me but I knew a little girl they would look perfect on.

Started Friday night - finished Monday morning 
My first ever beanie . . . completed!
Thank You Leonie and Katie for your help and encouragement along the way when I was stuck and frustrated with myself  

Now to get one made for a big boy who is about to spend the school holidays with Grandma

Linking in with Leonie at Show and Tell

 Show & Tell Thursday's

And with Meghan at Loving
