It's been so snowy here in Chicago these past few days. It's put me in the mood to stay home and work on some of my craft projects. I made this little bunting/banner out of chip board and scrapbook paper that has a burlap look to it and some scalloped circles that I punched out from an old German book from the thrift store. The flowers are from the $1 bins at Micheal's. Nothing fancy just a little something to hang on the wall behind my sofa. I didn't hang it up yet because I want to move the mirrors on the wall around a bit.
Here is the crochet project I've been working on this week. I started this blanket project way back in Jan 2010!!! lol!
HERE is the link from Flickr photo back in Jan 2010. I also made another "Cath Kidston Style" blanket back in 2008. You can see it
HERE and
HERE. I actually did finish that one!! Yay!! I LOVE to crochet and I always start too many projects at once and
many most ok almost all of them are still lying around unfinished!! lol Fellow crocheters will understand this! ;) My problem is I love to look at crochet blogs or google to see what other crocheters are up to and I see their current crochet project and then I get all fired up and inspired by their beautiful project and then I want to make one like that and the rest is history.... lol
So when the crocheting mood hit me this week I went down stairs looking in all of my bins for yarn to start yet another project and I came across this unfinished blanket and decided that I wanted to work on it again instead of starting a new one!! Yay!! I'm getting better!! lol. I'm so proud of myself for not starting yet another blanket! Hopefully I will FINISH it!! lol
I love these colors! Back in 2008- 2010
Cath Kidston colors were my inspiration for many of my crochet blankets. I'm enjoying working with these colors again! So cheerful!! The perfect thing to be working on during a gloomy winter day. Nothing like snuggling up in a comfy chair with a big cup of hot tea with lemon and honey and a crochet blanket project! :)
Hope you enjoyed seeing what I'm up to this week.
have a blessed day,
Pattie
