Heart Blanket

One year ago I made a beautiful heart blanket. The blanket is made by stitching together hundreds of about two inch granny squares. It didn't take very long to make each individual granny square, but it was tiring after a while to have to make and store so many little squares. In addition, at the end, I had to stitch together all the squares to create the blanket. The result was a truly beautiful blanket which made it worth all the hard work.

Pictures Posted

I finally had a chance to take pictures of the items that I had recently created. I had already taken pictures of some of them before, but had forgotten to download them to the computer. This morning I had time to do all that and update this blog with those pictures.

Candy Cane Suncatcher

A year or two ago, I bought a suncatcher kit from Jo-Ann's after Christmas. It was on sale for 75% off. The suncatcher kit comes with three pots of "paint" and a paint brush. This particular suncatcher is in the shape of a candy cane with a bow and some holly on it. In order to paint the suncatcher, one drips the paint from the brush onto the suncatcher. I've been meaning to complete the kit for a while now and I finally finished it on May 6th. It doesn't take very long to complete, but it is a smart idea to let the paint dry over night when switching colors.

Crayon Scarf

I finished crocheting a scarf on May 4. It is multicolored, but not varigated. It has "flecks" or shorter pieces of each color. The colors are similar to that found in a crayon box.

Alphabet Pillow L

I finsihed making making the letter L alphabet pillow today.

Alphabet Pillow N

A while ago, I started making alphabet pillows. They are created by making two copies of the same letter, and sewing it together. I made one side of one pillow a while ago. I didn't know if I had enough yarn to finish making the other side, so I finally finished making the other side and crocheted the two sides together.

Blue Homespun Scarf

I finshed knitting a blue Homspun scarf on April 29th. I found some leftover, scrap Homespun yarn and decided to make a scarf out of it.
