Hello and welcome to Happy Friday!
This is the time of the week when we try to gloss over those tricky, sticky moments (and goodness knows there have been a few of those!) and reflect on the bright side of life. A bunch of flowers, a little one’s milestone, a new project or in my case, a project rediscovered…
I was shamed this week by being reminded of a particular UFO* lurking in the back of a cupboard after seeing someone else’s finished version on Instagram. I brought it out, and was embarrassed to find just how long it had been in the pending tray. The pattern, by Jane Brocket, was in the second edition of Mollie Makes, printed in 2011! eeek!
But the happy discovery that I had made a lot more squares than I realised which were still waiting to be added on to the work so far…
…and that actually I’m not so far off making something of a useful size has filled me with enthusiasm to get a grip and get it finished, and that has definitely made for a Happy Friday!
So now, over to you. What Happy Friday moments would you like to share? This week I would also like to welcome the Handmade Habour Linkers whom Wendy Massey has pointed this way. I just know your handmade goodness will make people very happy!

The pictures alone are already cheerful…..
Have a great weekend, love from Mirjam.
Lovely cheerful project. What a shame it got shut away in a cupboard for soooo….. long. So pleased you found it and found the inspiration to get it finished. I shall look forward to seeing the completed article.
I am one of the Handmade Mondayers and would like to thank you so much for the very warm welcome. I have enjoyed your blog for a while now and am very happy to be taking part in Happy Friday.
Happy Friday Penny! Your blanket is going to be beautiful. I love the way the cream colored yarn sets off the bright designs in the middle. Thanks again for hosting this party 🙂
It will be a wonderful bright blanket when finished and a great find that you have so many
more squares complete ?
That is a very happy-making blanket! And really 2011 isn’t so bad … I have unfinished quilts from (gulp) the mid-90s.
Happy Friday to you Penny!
It makes a lovely cheerful blanket!
Thank you for hosting
What a pretty and cheery blanket. Thanks for hosting the party.
The blanket is coming along beautifully – hurrah for finding it and rescuing from the depths of the cupboard. Too many projects and too little time seems to be a pretty universal problem among crafters! Thanks for hosting the Linky party again xxx
Isn’t it a treat to find something that’s nearly finished? It feels like a gift! Thank you for hosting the party, I’ve really enjoyed finding my happy moments to join in xx
Your blanket is going to be amazing…as always! I have about 12 UFO’s lurking around. One of my goals this year is to either get them done or frog them. We’ll see. Thanks for hosting the Link Party. I always love to have a look at what others are doing.
Your colourful granny squares are perfect for brightening up our dull days. It will look gorgeous completed.
I have a UFO I have been making for my Mum for 18 months. I just can’t fathom the sleeve pattern.
Thanks for hosting. It’s starts the weekend on a happy note.
