Puffy flower blanket

 Good morning :) All 130 puffy flower squares are finished and put together.. I even finished the border Friday night ! I made a ruffled border like I did on the Big flower blanket .. I did 3 rows single crochet, 1 row half double crochet , then one row of 3 dc in first stitch , 4 dc in next stitch around to form the ruffle. I love it :)

 I still need to sew in all the ends.. Maybe tonight !
 I loved making this pattern and the sqaures worked up so fast since there are only two colors


Ronnie had to try out the blanket and make sure it was soft enough !


In remodeling news, we have moved around the furniture again, put back the china cabinet and put all the Lilliput Lane houses back in. This view is from the stairs.

 This is the view from the kitchen .. Hard to believe a few weeks ago there was a wall here with a big UGLY mirror on it !
 We still need to get the drapes and a coffee table..more pictures on the walls too.


This dining room set is coming to live at my house tomorrow and I am very excited ! Can't wait to decorate that hutch !





Getting closer to the finish line with this stocking ! Just that little area to the left and the name area across the top ..Those little areas will take forever but I am getting alot closer !
Thanks for stopping by, and all your nice comments  ..Hope you had a great weekend !

It's finished ! ( at least the front side is )

I finished the border and sewing in the ends on the front yesterday..Oh my gosh there was a ton ! This was the second border I did. Ripped out the 4 rows of the first border.. Just didn't think it went well with the blanket. For the border I did 3 rows of single crochet and then a v stitch using single crochet instead of double crochet.



You can see the join as you go stitches connecting the squares in this photo. I have wanted to make a granny square blanket with all different color squares but didn't know how to join them without having to use one color to crochet them together.I used up alot of my small yarn balls.. didn't have to buy that much yarn to complete this .


This was the first border.. I had two layers of ruffles.. I think the blanket was too busy for this border.


Still stitching my Prairie Schooler Santas.. Finished the fisherman and almost finished with the flower cart Santa.. Going to have to make them into ornaments soon !
Hope you all have a great week ! Thanks for your visits and nice comments :)
