FO - Finished Objects

Remember this project, Messenger Bag?  Well it was made and lined.  I frogged my strap today as I realised I didn't do it right in the first place.  It came out much better.  Attached that, added heart buttons and made the flower.  What am I going to do with it?  Not sure.  Probably add it to my Etsy shop.  Ravelry said I started it in April.  LOL Well at least it's done.

Another one is this pink cowl.  I found it in my project drawer.  Pulled it out and kept crocheting until it was near out of yarn.  And also started making more African Flowers. I forgot how much I like making these. 

What have you made this weekend?

Weekend fun

Hello all!  This past weekend I managed to go back to a started project, thanks to the 100 Deg weather.  I had started this Granny Messenger Bag.  Well bag is now finished and am working on the strap.  Then I will line it and add a flower or something. 

I also stopped to smell the tea.  LOL Using here this very hand tea thing.  You put your tea leaves in it, it acts like your spoon and even has a plunger on the end that squeezes the leaves.

We went to a nearby festival this weekend, on the Sunday when the weather was more bearable.  Called Sunfest.  There's many stages around the park with different cultural music performed, this one was more popular as it seem to have the more lively music and the beer garden.  As well, all different kinds of crafty items and things in vendor booths. 

And my fave the owlies!!!

Chaos

Have you ever thought you had adult ADD?  I do.  You're at work and your trying to focus on your job and you get distracted by thoughts of personal life things, or your crochet projects etc. LOL.  Or is it just a woman thing and our great ability to multi-task?  Either way, this is why I start so many projects, and that I get bored and just need to work on something different. It's been a more settled week but just a bit mentally burnt out.  My parents are still both being cared for in the hospital, hopefully that will continue. And last weekend I decided to change my hair colour from brunette to blonde and do it myself.  Well, it's been a challenge all week to tone down the reddish orangy colour of the blonde.  I should of just went to my hair guy.  So still working on that as I have to get some more conditioning treatments in before bleaching again. Anyway, on to progress made this week...


I've been wanting to make this Half Mood Shawl from the pattern off the Lion Brand site for some time now.  A friend made it with their Homespun yarn and it was so cozy.  I had a few skeins in the stash from a remnant bag that I wasn't sure what to use it for.  This project was perfect for it.  It has bobbles in it but this photo you can't see them.

This is from one day progress. And for 2nd day progress....

It works up quick.

And the ripple blanket has been growing as well...

I think maybe double that length should be good for the twin bed.  

And that Granny Messenger Bag I started last week, I got a few more rows done.

I did get another square done in my new colour scheme.

And all of them together..

So I guess I did get some things done this week.  But you know the saying... So much yarn so little time. 

Happy Sunday All!
