Days 21 to 40 of #100DaysofPatternCBC challenge....

It's time for another round-up of the current #CraftBlogClub challenge. I can't believe we are nearly half way through already.  

These photos come from a trip to Norfolk, a week in Wales, one from the archives as well as from my craft den.

Days 21 to 24 ~ patterns in the sand / a uniform row of trees creating a pattern / old knitting patterns that were passed down to me from my Nan. I remember her knitting an outfit for my dolls from this pattern / bridge

Days 25 to 28 ~ a polka dot table cloth / a slate footpath / a close up of a tapestry / a top in a charity shop window display


Days 29 to 32 ~ a row of colourful beach huts / a cracked pattern in a glass window / a geometric pattern on a geometric shaped lamp shade / a slate wall
Days 33 to 36 ~ My watercolours / wooden beams / a pattern in a wooden gate / a throwback to when I went on #MadebyMrsMPhotoWalk

Days 37 to 40 ~ I was having a sort through my papers in the craft den and came across two pretty floral designs and a harlequin pattern. The Happy Birthday repeat pattern was a design I was working on for a customer order.

Days 1 to 20 of the #100DaysofPatternCBC challenge....

Recently I launched a new #CraftBlogClub challenge and if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my photos for the #100DaysofPatternCBC. The challenge is to share a photo of a pattern every day on Instagram and/or Twitter. Here are my photos from the first 20 days.... 
Day 1 - 4 patterns of.... a fat quarter that I bought just because I love it / my favourite mug to have my morning coffee in / my favourite pen / creating my own pattern for a phone cover using honeycomb crochet stitch and funky yarn
Days 5 - 8 patterns.... I spent a lot of time on the motorway that particular day! Inspiration can be found anywhere / I was sat in my conservatory and accidentally took a photo of the roof / nature's pattern in the sky / I love the colours and patterns of this selection of fat quarters.

Days 9 - 12 patterns.... creating my own patterns for new birthday cards / found this sewing pattern in my craft room / interesting pattern in a tree trunk / a reflection of my lamp on to my glass cutting mat

Days 13 - 16 patterns.... from the Art Deco photo walk / the sun shining through the blinds making patterns on the carpet / creating my own background patterns on this coaster /  a beautiful tiled house from a trip to Lisbon a few years ago

Days 17 -20 patterns of.... a pattern in a field / the back of my to do list pad / the beach / a tiled floor

I'm enjoying this challenge it encourages me to look at the world differently and I'm finding patterns everywhere!
