The Giant Granny Finish

Happy Sunday !
Yesterday I finished the giant granny square blanket I was working on .. I started it last Friday ..so it took 9 days.. There are 52 rows of grannies and 6 rows of border and 2 rows of the little tailored ruffles..

It looks kind of gingham check in this photo ..

This blanket will be in the mail to California this week to a family that helped our son who was out in California last semester at a junior college.. They fed him home cooked meals, took him places , put pictures from the football games on facebook for me to see and texted me with game details at the games we didn't go to..We truly appreciate all they did for him..and us :)

The border is 6 rows of single crochet .. Then I did the little ruffles by chain 3 single crochet around every other post of the last row of crochet .. Then chain 3 and crochet in every other stitch at the top. It gives a little texture and I love the little tiny ruffleyness ..

We had a play in the snow day with one of the Grandsons this week.. My daughters little dog loves the snow ..She hops like a bunny and doesn't want to go inside !

I started and finished this one yesterday .. A year in chalk .. how perfect for me.. chalkboard and stitching.. Its from Hands on Design .. I tried to stitch It on the 30ct WDW gunmetal that the pattern suggests , but I had to get black 28 count Monaco. I need the stiffness of the Monaco vs. the linen. I will be off to find a way to display these today. Hoping to get February's pattern soon so I can get to work on it.

Two Blankets.. A Blizzard.. and Thrifting

Happy Superbowl Sunday !

I have two new crochet blankets I am working on ..I am using I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby for both.. The first one is a giant granny square ..done in blue/green, peach,pale yellow and white. This one is a gift and the colors are to match their bedding ..

I have made 3 other giant grannies you can see them here here and here.. This is super easy to make just make a regular granny square increasing with every round. Also a secret is to turn the blanket every round so it stays in a square shape. Sometimes you see peoples blankets and they aren't square ..its because they don't turn them every round :)

The second one is a join as you go granny square blanket for my daughter's living room in aqua, red and white.. This is also super easy and pretty fast to make ! Here is a link to the join as you go instructions I use..

I started this granny square blanket off without the white , and I wasn't loving it ..I took it all apart and added the white and I love it now ..Last year I made this join as you go granny square blanket..

I found this table at the Goodwill before Christmas.. It was $8.50 I haven't decided whether I am going to paint the legs or not ( and leave the top wood) What do you all think ? I also got that amazingly huge soup tureen on the bottom shelf last week for $4.99..Isn't it amazing ??

We here in Illinois are under a blizzard warning today ! 7 inches so far and its not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow..

I finished stitching this Little House Needleworks ornament last night .. Trying to stitch one LHN or CCN ornament a month for the Little House and Country Cottage group on facebook..I just realized I forgot to stitch the reins for the horse :)

I also am stitching this cute chicken design for Prairie Schooler..

Thanks so much for your visit ! I Hope you have a wonderful day !

The blue puffy flower blanket is finally finished ! It seemed to take me forever !! :)

I have already made a blanket using these squares. This one is for my daughters bedroom at her house..the yarn is a mix of I love this yarn from Hobby Lobby and Red Heart Yarn. I just tried to find as many shades of blue as possible

She has a really pretty all blue and white comforter ..I think it looks pretty good !
Apparently the dogs love it :)

you can find the free pattern here. Last week we went to the Wisconsin State Fair..My daughter, daughter in law , and the three grandsons..

It was great ! Can't wait til next year to go again !

Its been a year since my daughter bought her cute house .. I keep telling her she needs to start a blog :) She loves to garden and do lots of diy projects !
