To Do

notepad by modernmotive on Etsy

It’s Thursday afternoon and I’m already thinking of my To Do List for the weekend.

In no particular order (as the X-factor results man always says):

  1. Photograph the eight blankets and list on Etsy (I already have buyers for two!!! So happy!);
  2. Update my Ravelry notebook to include photos of the edgings I made using Edie Eckman’s Around The Corner Crochet Borders book;
  3. Write Christmas cards for friends and family living outside the UK;
  4. Start, and hopefully finish, the crochet edging on a fleece scarf for a friend. I’m meeting up with her next Saturday and would like to give it to her as a Christmas present so time is of the essence;
  5. Fix the seam of my grey work trousers*;
  6. Do the housework*;
  7. Work on the Identity Crisis blanket (only doable when hubby is not snuggled underneath it despite the inevitable half finished row and  ball of yarn hanging off the side. He really got tangled up in the yarn the other day. I had to unwind him! He says sitting under the  blanket is like getting a hug from me and he just can’t resist :-)) ;
  8. Work on my Winter Scarf
  9. Bake something nice. Don’t know what yet, but I’m in a baking mood.

*These items may will probably be deferred to next week.

 

Terrific Tuesday

autumn, converse, leaves

On a Monday I can still remember the fun I had over the weekend, Wednesday is the middle of the work week, on Thursday I start getting hopeful and on a Friday I can taste the weekend. But what about a Tuesday? It’s so…. just there. Weekend memories are too far away and the upcoming weekend might as well be a year away.

What we need is a bit of colourful inspiration to get us going on a Tuesday, don’t you think? A pretty picture, beautiful scenery or colourful imagery. Yup, that’ll liven up Tuesdays and turn it into a terrific day!

From now on I will go through my holiday snaps every Tuesday and find us a pretty picture to add colour and joy to the day.

I just looove wearing converse and I loooove autumn leaves, so this photo is the ultimate Makes Me Smile photo. I hope it does the trick for you too!

Check out the granny square afghan on Big Bang Theory, Season 5 episode 3! And yes, I paused the show and stood in front of the TV to take a photo.

Slightly crochet obsessed and loving it!

Green sleeves

No, not the old Tudor song:

 

but a crocheted green cotton sleeve for my Starbucks cup at work.

I whipped this one up with a no. 6 hook and Drops Paris cotton yarn. I used the “House Blend Cozy” by Lion Brand yarn pattern as a base. In the end I had to almost double the foundation chain and as I didn’t do mine in stripes, I ended up doing it in Amigurumi style where you just keep on going in the round without a definite start and end to the row. I basically just used their pattern to get the shape of the sleeve right.

All things considered, quite a thing of beauty me doth thinketh.

Here are the nine fleece blankets that I will be selling at the Christmas markets in November. I’m very excited about these and I looooved making them.

All of the edgings are from Edie Echman’s book Around The Corner Crochet Borders. Highly recommended!
