Needlecrafting Fun!

Well, most of you probably read about The Sweater I was making on my Nevada trip.
The yarn sat around for a month or so and I tried to find a different sweater pattern to try. I did try one, but didn't make it very far as the neckline turned out to be bigger than my waist:S
So, I started a baby afghan.
I finished it!
That picture shows the color and this one shows the pattern off a bit better, plus I like the black and white.
Now what should I do with a baby afghan. I don't need it, no.
Hmm, my dear friend Clara is having a baby!!
Her shower was last week.
See the little fabric bundle with the pink ribbon?
Yay, she likes it!!
She is a fellow blue-lover.
And even if she has a girl, every little girl needs plenty of blue in her accessories.
So there is a project completed.
I wanted to start something new and I still have yet to figure out crocheting.
So, the other night as we were watching The Sound of Music
I tried to figure it out yet again.
Yay!!!
I DID IT!!!!
I have this pattern for another baby afghan and so look what I have done!
I have to hold it up often and say, "Yay, I can crochet!"
Hehe.

    I love our afghan! I can't wait to force poor baby to love all of the blue things, too. :)

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
