Woah! July flew by!! Here's a look back at a busy month at SFMGS and some sneaky previews for this month's coming crochet, craft and Narrow Boat goodness...
No Monday Mandala today because... pinch, punch, it's the first day of the month! šš
Here's July in review šššš
Wow! It doesn't seem long ago at ALL that I was writing Goodbye June, Hello July! It's been another BUSY month... full of all the 'B''s....
- Birthdays
- Mr B
- Boats
- Boho
- Broken feet... šš
So at the start of the month, my Uncle got in touch and asked if we'd like to stay on his little 30 ft Springer project narrow boat!! Wow!! We chomped his hands off!
It was getting a little claustrophobic at home and we were putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to have already saved more pennies for #PROJECTLIVEABOARD and feeling a bit glum that we hadn't hit our targets for the month.
For 4 nights of the week and visit ALL the days is AMAZING!
The Marina where she is moored up is where we already planned to make our residential marina too so it's perfect for getting a feel of our future home and life on the water.
And just about everything is better on a boat... crocheting, blogging, cooking, cleaning (it takes like no time!šš) EEEK! I cannot wait until we have our very own permanent live aboard Narrow boat!!! Staying here has confirmed this is defo the life for us!
In crocheting... wow... my SFMGS Instagram account now has over 1450 followers!! ššš Each and every one totally awesome!
The crochet community is so supportive of one another! ššš Come join me @setfreemygypsys0ul.

This month was Mr B''s Birthday so of course, I had to crochet him something. Every year it's a tradition that we both give a DIY gift for every special occasion and this year he got the Granny Spike Stitch Sweater!
