Crochet

 Hi

Today I have quite afew crochet items to share with you.

This ia a lovely peppermint and white baby shawl done in the Corner to Corner stitch with Bella Coco.

I also use this stitch when I do blankets for the dog rescue centre, just using any odds of wool.

Very pretty colours isn't it???

This is all white and a tutorial by Alison Russell.

Again, it is quite easy once you know the basics of crochet.

She added a lovely border to hers but I just did a scallop edge.

This one is Diamonds and Cubes by Fiber Spider.

Again, for a baby and quite delicate but very pretty.

Once again, I added a scallop border to finish it off.

Next up is something for me for next Winter  -  a Poncho.

I never had a poncho as a child and I bought this wool in the sale at my local Craft shop because it had Merino wool in it.

There were odd balls, 3 terracota, 2 beige and 1 blue.

I mostly followed a pattern by Bag O Day Crochet but adjusted the neckline

And again added a  Scalloped Border.

Finally another baby blanket in white.

Pattern by Blossom Crochet very similar to a granny square.

Another Picot Border.

I'm presently crocheting another Star blanket in various baby colours with yarn my Sis brought  with her when she visited last week.

Take care all.

 Hi

I was a little late going to Craft Group on Friday as I had a Hospital appointment, or rather 3 of them.

 I had problems with my hearing since September so after medication these were my follow ups with hearing tests and specialist. All ok now thank goodness, you dont realise how much you need something until  you no longer have it.

**************

Anyway, this weeks challenge is Butterflies.

My card is using Embossed Butterfly folder and some of my mini punched Butterflies with a diecut.

Quite CAS  but very pretty I think.

Truly Scraps

 Hi Everyone

These cards are all made using my scraps.

The backgrounds from strips of card leftover and the sentiment on leftover pieces of parchment.

They are all the same really, I just thought I would show them all.

Some for men and some for ladies.

What do you think??

 Hi

Happy Easter to all.

My Craft Group Challenge this week is a sketch and I made 2 cards for this as they are Man cards.

The images, I aquired are from some craft stuff from one of my Groovi ladies, I think they are from CraftsUPrint.  The papers are from an LOTV 8x8 paper pad and a craft magazine.

And this is the sketch to follow.

Anything Spring for MAWTT

 Hi

My second post today, as it's the 1st, is Moving Along With The Times Challenge and a theme chosen by Brenda

Anything Spring

So I made and Easter card for 2 of my Grandaughters, Hollie And Tessie.

I used an LOTV Topper with a bunny and daffodils, added my own sentiment, a doily and some gems and punched flowers in the bottom corner.

I left this at their house when I visited last month with a little treat inside too (money), that's what they are most interested in now, more than Easter eggs!!

Outlawz Challenges

 Hi Everyone

Today is Outlawz challenge day, both ABAC (Anything But A Card) & Twisted.

First I have my ABAC make and it is my tiny butterflies that I punch out and layer and add gems or pearls.

This is the punch, or rather, one of the punches I use.  It is about 1 cm across and I punch a base from coloured paper or thin card and a top layer from parchment.

I use a good glue like Glossy Accents and do the layers first.

These I added blue diamond gems on, left over from Diamond Art.

These I added Green diamond gems.

I these I added mixed colours of  pearls.

I use these on my cards, gift boxes and I also add to the raffle prize for my Craft Group.

***************************

Now onto the Twisted Challenge.

The theme is

A Sketch

My card

Clarity Designer paper, a topper that was in some stash I was given, I think its Crafts U print.

 Hi

A nice easy challenge for the Craft Group this week

PINK

This is my card and I'm not sure where the topper came from, maybe in some stash I sorted from my friend Val.
