Purple and White Granny Square Blanket



Please Share the Love

Nicole's Blanket
It's been a couple of months since I finished my last blanket. It was a special request by my daughter Nicole. 

 I was going to save it for Christmas but I was too excited and had to give it to her right away.

Jaxon's Blanket
My newest creation is going to be a Christmas gift for one of my precious granddaughters. I haven't decided if it will go to Lexi or Sidney. They both love purple.
Audrey and Her Blanket











 Lexi's sister (Audrey) and brother (Jaxon) have both received a crocheted blanket from me. 

 Lexi may be wondering why Grandma hasn't given her one yet.


Beth's Blanket
Oh, I almost forgot. Lexi's Mom (Beth)has a blanket from me too. You can check it out HERE.


Sidney saw me working on the blanket and she told me how much she likes it. And her Mom has the red granny square blanket.

 Oh decisions decisions. Who do you think should get this blanket?

    Your blanket is just lovely. I hope to make one as lovely eventually. It's so hard to decide who should get it isn't it? I'd be tempted to hold onto it until next year and give them one each...

      Maybe I should hold off until I can get two more done. I just get so excited and have a hard time holding onto a gift when I really want to give it to them right away. It's torture for me.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
