More spring

I made a new Easter items for my nephew this week. I should be seeing him later in the week for a meet up with my cousin for my birthday.  Of course my suck loves it when I'm covered in my crochet blankets so he can cuddle.

Here is an interesting tree found on a nature walk last weekend.

You know it's spring when you spot your first Cardinal in the back yard.

Happy Weekend all!

Spring is Here

Time flies when you work a lot. Last week I worked 60 hours so there was little time for my crafting. I did however get some done on the weekends.

I made this little mini bag for a co-worker's birthday this week.  

A mini Lucy bag if you will.

I've still been plugging away at this crochet stripey blanket. 

I'm planning on giving to my cousin's little one.

Still knitting away.  I love this self striping yarn. Had I know it was going to knit up like this, I would have not made my caplet with it knitting in the round.

A few weekends ago we went for a walk at a local conservation area and the deer

were out in full force.  They are such beautiful creatures.

Happy weekend all!!

This and That

Not much in the crafting department this week.  I did a bit of knitting here yesterday.

Work has been busy and is only going to get more busy to come. 

What I have been doing to keep calm and sane is my new addiction.

I'm on Season 4 now.  I even saw a PBS documentary about the Highclere Castle that the show is filmed in, so beautiful.

It's been really cold here in Ontario this month with freezing rain earlier in the week that has left snowy fields iced over.  I had to get some pictures.

And to leave on a note to make you smile.  My cat.

Gotta love the fisheye filter.

Happy weekend all.

Goodbye February

My collage for February.  It's been a busy month but I still have managed some craft.

I knitted this neck cuff. Just knit 4 purl 4.  It's so very warm.

One month till my vacation week and birthday.  I hope it'll be nice enough weather

to get out my bicycle.  This winter has added some pounds. March 1st and it's snowing.

Just a little collage of my fur babies.  They are waiting for spring as well. 

And yes, my cat loves cantaloupe.  He's weird.

Happy weekend all.

Keep Calm and Keep Warm

I have WIP ADD.  I admit it.  I know many other crafters have this same disease. 

Is it curable? Doubt it.  It's just how we roll.  

I'm still getting some rows in on the green, blue and white blanket.  I started a scarf in a 

stitch my co-worker recommends.  Just knit 2, purl 2 for two rows and then switch for two 

rows.  It makes a nice textured surface and an angular pattern.

Then I wanted to stash bust with some chunky yarn so I started this red, white and blue

something.  Maybe a cowl or a scarf.  Anything to aid in keeping warm with our record breaking temperatures here these weeks, wind chills ranging from -30 - 40 degrees C.

I know it's Canada but we're the most southern part and usually the warmest.

I had my ears re-pierced again. I had let my main one close up. Ear piercing isn't as cheap as I remember it.  Of course it depends on the earring you choose.  I'm not extremely sensitive so 

I chose this Hello Kitty one.  Yes, I'm a big fan still at my age. 

And for cat lovers out there, I saw this cute story.

Happy weekend all!

Happy Valentine's Day

It's been a stressful week at work.  I've worked 10 extra hours this week and have had no desire to crochet.  That is bad.  The only good thing is the nights at work flew by.  

Thursday night I came home and honey surprised me with this, having been so stressed all week I just weeped, but it felt good.

This is the only projected I managed a few stitches on.  It shall be a baby blanket.

And another project I pick up here and there.

I still haven't heard from my giveaway winner Jackie who commented.  I'll give it another week.

If I don't hear from her, and want to win please comment again on this post.  

Hope everyone is staying warm.  It's a super cold one here today.

Crochet Cushion

Happy weekend all!! I am late posting as I had to work on Saturday, more money for yarn I guess. I finished my cushion.  I added a flap and heart shaped buttons.  It's so cuddly and happy how it turned out.  

And for my Giveaway for my 1000 Bloglovin followers, I had my honey pull a name and the winner is Jackie who commented on my last post.  So Jackie, please email me your info to laydilyke@yahoo.com

I added some goodies to the scarf.

Well keep warm everyone.  We just got a good dumping of snow overnight.
