That chair.

IMG_6936 I wish I was the owner of this chair................ sadly I'm not, and I didn't crochet the blanket either...................... But the weather is making me want to curl up in this lovely chair, with today's choice of beverage, (yesterday it was tea), a large French bowl of chocolatey, creamy, delicious smelling hot chocolate. IMG_6938 If I sat in this chair, I would be surrounding myself with coziness, but most importantly, colour.................. glorious colour. Looking at, and remembering this chair, makes me want to create something similar for my home............... it makes me want to get crocheting blankets, and knitting cushion covers, and ............cozying. IMG_6935 And I wouldn't object to sharing it with Mr.White Cotton-socks here ................. He can cozy up too........................

looks just perfect for snuggling in, and feeling colourful, warm and cosy.

(you have no idea how hard I had to try and not pun on purr-fect. Oh no, done it now anyway....) x

That chair looks so cozy and makes me want to crochet again - haven't in years - although granny squares were one of my first projects.

I do believe that every home needs a chair like that. Complete with the cat ;)

It looks like one of those chairs that makes all your worries go away the instant you sit down.

that granny square afghan looks almost identical to one I made!
Our dog, Harley has taken it as her own. She likes anything cozy.
we had to buy an ottoman for her so she wouldn't hog the couch!

I've been crocheting with some lovely colours this week too.
It's funny how cats always find for themselves the most perfect places, and we can't ask them to move, because we would feel mean!
