New Crochet Blankets - another WIP

Some random colour choices and progress. Always with the granny squares!

And the sun has finally started to shine, for a couple of days at least!

Crocheting again...

Oh yes. My wool problem has returned. I've taken to making smaller things lately... yes, my five year blanket is still going. Sad. But true.

In the past, I've gone into projects without a means to an end or without direction or an end date. So now, I like to think I've learned from my mistakes. I finished a pillow cover, a hot water bottle cover and two hats for the boys in a few weeks. It's a record for me!

The rainbow pillow was something that I had been wanting to make for a long time. I had drawn out the colour pattern ages ago and originally wanted to make a blanket, but we all know how blankets end... Or don't end... So a pillow it is. 

The hottie cover was without a pattern too. And noticeably so. But it serves it's purpose and keep my hottie hot until the late morning. Heavenly.

The hats were from a pattern (micahmakes.com). And thank goodness. While Willem's (the blue one) is slightly small, I'll easily be able to make another. 

It feels good to actually finish some crochet projects. It makes me want to do some more smaller pieces, but what to do...?

What are you working on this weekend?

*personality colour quiz

Mmmmm. Quizzes! Check out this colour quiz found via How about Orange (love her blog!!!!!)

Pales colours inside are for sure my thing. My lounge room at my last apartment before I moved in with my hubby, was mostly white, black, tan and reds. Black and white images framed with white matts and black frames, and another set of images in white frames....

The more I started putting my own images into my space, the more colour seems to creep in. Now I live in a house that is mostly beige and browns, but the lounge room has these bright cobalt blue couches and more colourful painting on the walls. I like to think that I am growing in my appreciation of colour.Bring it on!!!!

*more seaport photos

Hi hi!

I've just posted a few more prints on Etsy.

Sometimes, I really miss Connecticut. There is this amazing history that just seeps through the ground, into your toes and through your fingertips. Everything you touch has a story of at least one hundred years. The colonial way of life burns bright in the sunshine. The mysteries of those lives lost in wars and lost out to sea lurk in dark cemetaries and the dark corners of your mind.
