london 2012 yarnbombing


When you are the only house in the street to have any Olympic decorations you really have to make an effort.


So I proudly present my Olympic yarnbombing.


I thought it might have produced some baffled looks from the neighbours, but I guess they are getting used to us...........


It feels like the Olympics are being brought into my living room through other bloggers, it was a joy to see Stephanie's photos of the wildflowers which are to die for,  and Nancy's tales of the opening ceremony have made me tell everyone I know that "I know someone who went to the dress rehearsal".

Now please excuse me, I might have to make a few more crochet flowers to calm my nerves, the men's road race time trials have started.......

  5. Thank you. Was nearly sobbing when the men's eight got bronze- so gutted for them. But you and Wiggy have cheered me up no end.
    No houses in our street have 2012 decorations. Think will have to remedy that...

  11. Love yarnbombing and bunting.......your flowers are gorgeous, someone has got to wave the flag and get into the spirit of things.
    Must head over to Stephanies and check out the wildflowers.......they have inspired me to put some on a tea cosy. Wish I could see them in person....oh well....
