Stash Busting

Last weekend I completed another border row on my crochet mood blanket. We'll see how many rows I will add.  Just going with the mood. LOL

I've also been working on this round ripple a bit.  Possible Christmas present/stash buster.

And I made a few Maybelle flowers, more stash busting.

Happy Weekend All!

Keep Calm and Bike On

I've been adding another row of squares to my mood blanket. Slow

but surely.  

I'm crocheting a seat cover for my bike.  I have since got a basket and

a mirror. Of course the basket still needs to be decked out with a nice

sewn liner and maybe some crochet mini bunting for the outside. 

I will post a picture soon.

I have my first Cath Kidston piece, coin purse.  Her stuff is hard to 

come by in Canada but thanks to Ebay.  I also have a purse coming 

soon as well.  Such lovely prints she uses.  

Last weekend honey and I went for a walk through a nature park.

The deer were out in full force. 

Woodpeckers

And the finches were friendly as well.

Happy weekend all!!

Colour Love

This week I joined another row on my mood blanket.  Exactly 6 x 6 square.

I got some new happy sewing goodies and made this little purse. I still have

to add a strap but that was enough for one day. 

I did start another new project, but maybe I will post on it next week 

when I have more done on it. 

Happy Weekend everyone!

Squares

I started stash busting with my bright Caron yarns.  A psychedelic granny. Maybe for a cushion or bag.  We'll see.

And my crochet mood blanket.  I have another row of squares done but I haven't attached 

them yet to this. 

That's about all I have to report this week.  I've worked on my ripple a bit as well, 

pictured here is my tote bag I made. 

Happy weekend all!!

Winter Blahs

Slow progress on the mood blanket this week. I have completed a few more

squares than what is shown, but now I'm trying to color co-ordinate the rows

in random fashion and join the rows.

Another commercialized holiday behind us. 

Here are my heart creations for this year. I was 

thinking of turning them into a hang up like the Boho

Pendants from Cherry Hearts Blog.

Another row added to this ripple blanket. 

Has everyone been enjoying the Olympics?

We're hockey fans here and waiting for 

Canada to win the gold. Fingers Crossed.

USA and Russia are currently playing, good match.

Happy Weekend All!

Winter Progress

 This was an interesting and productive week. I started another mood blanket.

Again, in attempt to stash bust.  I wanted to do another ripple and have had these

colours for some time. They do look lovely together.  I have added more squares to my original mood blanket.  I have more done than what is attached here.

And since my yarn arrived this week I completed my minion hat. I used Repeat Crafter Me's Pattern (picture shown top) and my hat bottom, girl version 

that is.  I love it. I may just have to make myself one.

Tis the season for hearts.  Just messing with some patterns out there.

And yes, my yarn arrived.  The black for the hat and light peach. I started 

making some squares for my blanket with the peach.

For the trouble, they even sent me these free pattern books. 

So nice of them. 

I managed to get so much crocheting done as last Sunday I brought

my honey into emergency. He's had a terrible pain in his left side for

some time now and Sunday it was too unbearable.  Dreading the long

hospital wait, I packed up my yarn projects a few snacks and were there

for a good 7-8 hours.  He hat a CT Scan done and was given some

anti-biotics. Yesterday went back for ultra sound. They believe it to be

appendagitis. But who knows. A while back he had walked into a half

wall divider between our living and kitchen area while half asleep

and he may have done something from then. Wait and see what the 

follow up will be with his doctor. 

The joys of getting older. Health issues. 

But sun is shining today and the Olympics have started. It was a wonderful

opening show. Happy weekend all!!

Keep Calm and Keep Warm

The best part of being a crocheter is you'll always be warm.

My mood blanket is coming along keeping me toasty as it 

sits on my lap joining my squares. 

This week I realized I had ordered some yarn from the Yarn Outlet 

here in Canada only to realize it was delivered two weeks ago via 

UPS and I never saw it.  Mind you the weather has been very snowy and

windy so chances are the package blew away or is in a snow bank.

UPS site just said delivered, left a door.  Nice.  Next time I know to 

request a signature. 

So the shipper is re-sending my yarn.  I've only been waiting for

the Caron Simply Soft to finish a minion hat I'm making for someone.

The deal was so good I couldn't pass it up.

I also felt the need to bust into some other stash and start a ripple. 

Beige, light green, dusty pink and I will be adding a white.

Even the cat is keeping warm in my knitting scarf. 

Happy Weekend All!!
