Patriotic Pinwheel Tutorial

Please go and check out my first designer tutorial at Therm-O-Web.

The Patriotic Pinwheel.

 

 

It is quick, easy, no-sew and full of sparkle.

Going Frog Wild

So, I finished what has to be my favorite of

Brooke's Advent Animals.

 

I give you Mr. Fitzwilliam Frog

 

Isn't he just dashing? 

Love the fabulous mustache.

I also finished Mrs. Sheila the Sheep.

She was supposed to be knitting,

but since I am a crocheter. 

She had to change her hobby as well.

 

 



 

 

I also made the rest of the animals

that I had finished into ornaments.  

I used Moda Honeycomb Precuts for the

ornament and outlined the Aida fabric in

using Aurifil #2250 12 wt.  thread.

 

 

Here are the eight that I have completed

so far.  I am only  four behind now.  

 

I can't wait to see these on our tree this year.

Are you creating something special for the

holidays?

 



Sophie's Universe Finished

 

Guess what I finished up last week?

 

It is a little less that six feet square.

I absolutely love this afghan and

my garden in is full bloom, so it makes

the perfect picture backdrop.

 



 

 

 

 

I mostly used my scraps and

stash to work it up.

I only spent $20 on this beauty.  Very gratifying!

I have a second one already

planned. 

 You can find the pattern for this Sophie's Universe

at Look At What I Made.  

It is free pattern and I really can't say enough

for the pattern and the pictures that accompany it. 

It is very crochet friendly. 

 

Now off to visit a few flowers in my garden.

 

I adore lots, and lots of color. 

The more the merrier. 

I have always been drawn to the old

cottage gardens that are full

of all types and colors of flowers. 

Maybe, I can get out tomorrow to catch a few

more photos of the flowers that

are loving all this rain

we have had.
