On my hook...

Linking up with ChrissieGinnyTami and crochetaddictuk

The current state of my potholders...How sad is this? 
 I have a bad habit of leaving them too close to the eye. 
I may have actually started a small fire once...
Well I am happy to report, the old ones have been tossed, replaced by the following....
 I used Lily Sugar and Cream so they are nice and thick.

A size 3.5 hook 



pattern available at Made in K-Town Spring Mandala

Once I had the potholders sorted out it to time to get back to Valentine's Day decorations:

Yarn wreath for my front door. 
 Another  hexagon for a candle


I am currently reading "The Letters of Vincent VanGogh"  It covers his last 25 years..everything from his religious beliefs, his mental states, attempts and failures at romantic relationships, a very special relationship with his brother and of course his inspiration for his art.
