Cool Weather Brings New Projects....

Do you have the same crafting enthusiasm in the summer?  Not me.  Mine leaves.  Gone.  All the extra time I have with vacation and the longer days but I'm just not in the mood.

Then at the end of summer back it comes and I just long to have more time.  Go figure.  Well I'm making Christmas products for my business and I'm working on presents too.

I finally started working on this sweet fleece.  I cut

and pinned....

then measured and cut strips and tied knots...

and it became a  cozy throw for snuggling.  The other side is a plain lighter colour...

Aren't the puppies sweet?

Adorable close up...

  A snuggly Christmas present but I can't tell for who right now...

I have also spray painted 3 more drawers..I'm getting ready to make more clocks...

See here completed drawer  for Geoff or this one for Richard if you missed the original spring posts... 

Sweet Abby gave back the yarn she was holding for me...

and I crocheted a flapper style hat..

here it sits over my phone...

but I am going to run a ribbon through it and add a felt flower.

When I'm all done I'll show it to you.  Hopefully it'll keep me warm once the cooooold weather comes.  It'll look nice with my new coat though I'm not much of a hat person.

Funny how the fall brings on the cool weather and projects are on the heat again....

  Do you have new fall projects on the go?

Hope you have a great day... Judi xoxo

Spiral Scarf - But Not For Spring....

Its already March 13th and so many of you have spring where you live. I have enjoyed the new season through your pictures. You're happily taking out your spring clothes and seeing the pretty spring flowers.

At my place the temperature is hovering slightly above and definately below freezing point. We had some more snow last night. It warmed up enough today to melt the snow on the car but the snow is still on the ground.

So I was googling knitting patterns today looking for a certain pattern. Instead I found this free pattern for a multi-coloured Spiral Scarf. This is the pattern.


While I'm not sure whether I'll get it knit for this "spring's" cool weather I think I really would love to have one for next fall. Its pretty isn't it? Are you wearing spring/summer clothes where you are? Enjoy this almost spring day.... Judi xoxo

Crochet Dolly and What Will Her Name Be....

I finished my big project this weekend. Yes I finished the final details of the Labour of Love quilt I made for Geoff and Kiley for Christmas. I will share the pictures with you later in the week.

I decided to take a little crochet break to crochet a little doll for Madeline. I didn't think of taking pictures until she was at this stage....

then she looked like this with her colourful hair...

Her big dark eyes....

a bow in her hair....

and she is complete. She has a cute little nose but she doesn't have a mouth....she has a totally happy expression without one..it just means she is always happy... :o)

I'm going to give her to Madeline when she comes over later this week.. I just can't think of what her name should be. Can you? Can you think of a cute little name for her?

If you are interested in crocheting a little dolly the inspiration came from HooksandEyes

Have a sweet day... Judi xoxo
