June 9, 2019May 15, 2020 Charlotte

This time 8 weeks ago, I was in hospital. I was tired. I was sore. I was a mother.

Sunday; slow and simple. Feeling grateful for sunshine. 🌞

🌞 this looks idyllic but really he refused to walk, screamed at me while I carried him down a steep embankment of stones, threw one stone then screamed at me again and we left about 10 mins after we got there so if that’s your idea of idyllic then eat your heart out xo

“It is like any other snow, but from a different window, and there lies the singular charm of it.”

What a difference a (couple of) day makes. ❄️ R’s first snow day. We’ve been outside to play, now warming up with hot chocolate and waiting for more to fall!

Today felt hopeful. There was a tiny hint of spring in the air. It’s been a while since I felt that kind of promise. 💛

Running out of things to say about the world at the moment. So will probably be a little quiet here for a bit until I can find the words again. I miss humanity, art, wonder, adventure and normality. So I’m going to take a little step back and reevaluate and breathe. I think it’s what’s called a hiatus. Maybe it’s just space. Whatever it is, I’ll see you on the flip side ✌🏻

Day 1 of my first #marchmeetthemaker and it’s brand! I’m by no means a global conglomerate, but it is pretty cool when you get little stickers with your little logo on them 😍 Hello Rainbow was born in lockdown 1, when I had taught myself to crochet and realised I loved it and was actually not bad at it! It’s also the name of my little blog (which has been a bit stagnant for a while - too much going on!), and the inspiration is my little rainbow Ru. He is every colour all in one; bold and bright and beautiful. 🌈

Had so much fun putting together something new for a custom order - a little cauliflower! One of my favourite french words - choufleur 🤍

Dinky pumpkin 🎃

Oh my gourd, it’s October next week. Not likely to go pumpkin picking this year are we? So crochet pumpkins will have to do! This is a little vintage pink number 👀 and these can be made in pretty much any colour you fancy!

Another little custom peanut for another teeny baby peanut 😍 sorry things have been quiet lately, new job and new routine has been hard! But it’s autumn now... and you know what that means... 🎃

Now that this has arrived with the lovely @mapleandpea, I can share it with you! This little pumpkin garland was SO much fun to make for baby pumpkin 🎃🧡

Did you know in September 2001, a biscuit taken from the Titanic before her ill-fated maiden voyage fetched £3,525 at auction in London. It was described as being “in almost perfect condition with signs of moulding”.
