When I first got really into crocheting and knitting about 10 years ago looking back at blog post, Attic 24 blog was a big inspiration for my creative crafty side. I've followed Lucy's blog since as many of you I'm sure follow as well. She always comes up with wonderful color combinations for her projects and famous blankets. Every years she's published a Crochet A Long CAL that I've always wanted to try and never have. This year, her colorful Dahlia Blanket CAL was an instant draw to the colors she chose for this blanket inspired by the flowers. Last weekend I just ordered the Dahlia yarn kit from the Wool Warehouse. I was surprised how fast it arrived in Canada from the UK. Opening and drooling over the colorful goodness made my day.
I made the sample on a card to keep track of the colors. I chose her colorwash version of the blanket as I love the blend of the colors together rather than the random strip version. It's a nice easy pattern that I can do in the evening watching TV.
Last weekend I made a few more of these blocks.
And here and there I pick these up in the evenings as well. English Paper Piecing these together for
who knows what the finished product will be. I thought they we be nice from charm pack I got.
I got my babies a new toy, motorized butterfly they love to swat at.
We've now had this sweet guy for 4 years now. When we caught him he was just over a year old.
Shy, cautious but such a sweet kind soul. He's still cautious but loves his brothers and sister and
loves to give them licks. I'm happy they all get along so well.
And this guy, our second stray is the most loving, snuggly, always happy cat.
His tail is always up and loves to play all the time.
Happy weekend all!
