PHEW! Sorry for my absence... it has been all go here for the last 10 days or so. I have a new job as a Teaching Assistant in a local school - in fact in the school where I was a pupil from the age of 5 until 11 - so when I walked in for a look round I hadn't been there for over 40 years! Much is the same, some huge differences... none of my little friends are there :(
Also my hubby treated me to a long weekend in Seville for a Valentine's treat... what a beautiful place... I'll post some pics soon. If you follow me on Instagram you will already have seen a couple. The weather was like a good spring day in the UK.. what a treat to feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
To make up for my absence I am going to post details of quite a few squares today.... First Janice's squares:
Janice sent us these four gorgeous crochet squares for our Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013 when there was ice and snow at her home - I hope it is a little warmer now Janice!
I don't think Janice has a blog, I can't find details of one... let me know if I am wrong Janice. Here are Janice's squares:
A lovely granny square in a multi-blue yarn.
Janice designed this flower square pattern herself!
Janice wasn't able to find the designer for this lovely pinwheel square -
if any one knows maybe you could send us a link please?
Finally, Janice's personal favourite (and mine).. an owl square from Sarah's lovely blog - Repeat Crafter Me, which is called the Owl Granny Square and can be found HERE . This square is really popular at the moment - we have had 2 sent in for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013 :)

Do you know Shelley from All4meggymoo? Shelley recently organised a lovely 'I Love Hearts' swap for Valentines which was great - I blogged about it here.
Shelley has been kind enough to send us 3 squares for the BBB 2013:
These squares are beautifully made. All 3 patterns come from a book which I hadn't heard of called, 'Crochet Blocks in a Box', by Luisa Roberts. You can see more about the book here on Amazon UK
This is my favourite!
Can you see the filet heart within this one?
Thanks so much for joining in with the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013 Shelley!

If you follow Wink on her blog or on Instagram or Facebook you will know that she has been organising a 'Weekly Mandala' CAL for the last 17 weeks! Somehow Wink found time to make us these lovely granny squares too:
Four beautiful little granny squares in lovely spring colours on a white background.
Thank you so much Wink, Shelley and Janice! These are all beautiful squares for our blanket.
GOOD LUCK !
The draw for the winner will be tomorrow -
1st March 2013!
I have more squares to post - I will do another post this evening, one tomorrow morning, and then the draw winner will be posted in the evening!
Hugs, Jill x
