Crochet Countdown

It's nearly only a month away from Christmas and I still haven't made as many gifts as I'd like.  But I did accomplish some smaller projects this week.  

An kids Angry Bird Hat.  

And more work on the ripple, granny square to cover a cushion and Lucy's Triple Layer Flower from Attic 24 tutorial. Really quite easy.  I will have to make some more of these.  And to all you American's out there, Happy Thanksgiving!!  I'm off on Friday whoohoo.

Might see what sales are on for Black Friday or if it's just hype.  

Flower Swag

Well, I managed to finish my flower swag and am just posting this quick blog post via Android.  I probably could of made it a tad bit longer, but it works. And, looks super cute above the window. Now I can wake up to my Happy Flowers.

    I've been too busy working on these blanket projects that take up more time.  I wanted to make something more fun.  So I have been wanting to make Lucy's (Attic24) Happy Flower Decoration for a while now.  I was surprised it didn't take too long.  It was just a bit more time to assemble and put on beads and buttons.  Also some blocking time.  So here is my version.

And closer the bit at the bottom.

Now, where to hang it.  I might just have to bring it to work to brighten my cubical. LOL

Now, get back to another ongoing project or make another one of these. Hmmm.....

I just had to share this picture.  My honey was hold these two and it was  just too cute how the were craddling each other. 

Bed Throw and more

I've managed to get quite a few rows done on this bed throw that is queen sized in width.  This was started by my aunt who gave it to me with the yarn to finish it.  It's cotton yarn so light enough for the summer.  

I made up a a little flower that I wore on my headband today.  Here it's pictured on a coaster that I had gotten in a swap last year.  

Honey and I went for a bike ride and I brought some saltine crackers as we go by these man made lakes nearby that the Canadian Geese swim in and we were lucky enough to see some baby ones.

 I've worked on my shawl a bit more.  Not so much on my ripple.  I got addicted the a new TV Series on HBO, Game of Thrones.  Great acting, story and costumes based from books by George R.R. Martin.  I also started reading a book called The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs.  Only in chapter one, I've been reading it on my phone on breaks at work etc.  I don't always make enough time to read as I once did before technology took over my time. 

This weekend is a long weekend for us here in Canada.  Monday is Victoria Day in honour of Queen Victoria.  And so far, the weather forcast looks amazing.
