Finished Crochet Blanket

Well after too many months to count and a few design / use changes along the way I have finally finished the project I started on the "A Granny A Day" initiative. I've made a blanket for my baby's pram.

I've still got another 6 weeks baby cooking (assuming no early or late arrivals) so teddy has stepped in to model the blanket in the new pram.

He looks nice and snuggly...

A-Granny-A-Day Update #3

I've been feeling a little under the weather this last week, so even though I've been on holiday from work (isnt that just typical !!) I havent done half the crafting I was hoping for. Thankfully R and I were planning a quiet week at home anyway so haven't wasted an expensive holiday abroad, still annoying though....

...so I've been resting for most of the week and not getting on with all the lovely things I had planned...

- I haven't touched my quilt

- I did make it to jewellery class which was good for a couple of hours on Thursday evening

- and I've only managed to make a handful of Granny Squares for my Granny a Day Challenge so here are some of the squares I've put together....

I've been concentrating on crocheting the smaller squares into families of 4 and will then stitch these families together. I'm aiming for 100 little squares and 25 families....still a way to go then

Back to work tomorrow ...

A Granny-a-Day Update #2

Ok so I'm totally failing on the challenge of doing a Granny-a-Day, but I did have a bit of a spurt over the weekend and have 24 mini-Grannies

I'm planning on making 100 of these and then stitching together with some edging...so 24% there...not bad for 2 days work I think....only 76 to go, hmm thats a pretty big number

My Weekend in Pictures

So this was my weekend in pictures

:: there was flowers, lots of flowers, my house is brimming with red roses, tulips and lillies....

:: there was sewing...the front of my quilt is really taking shape...

:: there was chocolate brownie....yummy...

:: there was cosiness on the sofa with the latest fashion and home magazines

:: there was crochet..still behind on my granny-a-day challenge, oh well I'm only human and as we are told as kids "it's the taking part that counts"... I did crochet this lovely flower though, inspired by the beautiful flowers filling my house

:: all in all a good weekend

A Granny A Day Update #1

I've kept up with the challenge, here are my first 4 squares








I've also started the quilt and as soon as the pile of 2.5" strips of fabric covering my dining room table start to look more like he end product I'll be sure to share it with you.
