Plotting & Planning....

Found myself a great new book to teach myself some interesting crochet shapes......... one slight problem though. I now have too many ideas jumping around in my head competing for dominance.

Do I play around with leaves & flowers. 'Piece' together some hexagons / octagons / pentagons / circles in to a 'quilt'. Or create a wonderland of snowflakes?

What evil person put that book in my path to distract me from my current projects??

Ah well I will be strong & work on my belt-in-progress. ......In between bouts of experimenting ;)

And now for the FNSI...

You can never have enough belts right?....

Well that's my excuse for this project.

Working on it a bit at a time......really need those new glasses!! lol

& Now for my main project for the last couple of days......

It just needs the tails tucked & done!! :)

Here come the photos!!

It took a bit to figure out bit finally......

My 1st attempt at scales......

Not sure the fluffy wool quite does the pattern justice.

On the Go.....

Well I finally figured out that little problem thanks to help from some ladies @ the quilting group I go to.... started a belt..... & nearly finished another project not to be named until completed.... ;)
Also plotting what to do for the Adelaide Festival of Quilts challenge :)
Photos to come........

Grrrrrr......

Sometimes teaching yourself crochet con be nice and easy, & go like a breeze......... but sometimes...........

It's a confusing, messy headache......
There's this one style of 'round' that just isn't making sense......maybe next project will be mum's cushion. :)

The things one does for famly! ;)

My work today.... more 'flowers' & practicing the 'mug cozy' pattern my sister found via the FNSI winner post & Pretty pleaded for me to make her one.....

Yup, I'm a pushover! lol

Uh oh..

Who knew you could put your back out doing crochet? :) looks like I'm going to have to get myself a proper adjustable table to do my crafting on....

Practice makes...... new ideas!

Well, as you can see, I still haven't managed a flat one..... but these have given me an idea for a flower garden theme quilt. Just a few more colours & sizes & I'll have something to work with. :)
Meanwhile I have ideas percolating in the back of my mind as to how to create the background to put them on.

My Not-So-Flat Circle....

My 1st attempt at round crochet..... unfortunately not the flatest creation ever. :)
Think I need to work on the rate of increasing next time. The wool looks a lot more mushroom colour in person. Though at least my work gets bigger quicker with thicker thread. :)

To Edge or not to Edge?....(FNSI)

First try at crochet edging.... not so sure about the style combined with colour....
Oh well... no mistakes only creative opportunities. We shall see what happens to it.

Hello World

Greetings..... I exist!! ......... Unfortunately I'm not much of a talker. :)
Dabbling, however, is another matter entirely.

.....

My crafty artist family & FNSI have inspired me to attempt to navigate the scary universe of.... BLOGGING!

So plaese bear with me while I get set up :)
