Baby Bear Blanket

Happy Saturday! I crocheted this big granny square baby blanket this week and then crocheted the bear applique for it last night .. Isn't it the cutest !

For the blanket I used 2 skeins each white and light blue I lOve This Yarn from Hobby Lobby .. I made a big granny square using 4 rounds of each color .. making sure to turn the balnket each round ..If you don't turn it it gets lopsided.

I found the bear applique on Etsy from NellasCottage .. it was easy and turned out very cute.. I did not use buttons for the eyes I just crocheted a little ball shape right onto the head ..This was very quick to make ..another blanket for the grandson to be ..

This weeks You Tube ...

A Stitchy Valentine Vignette

Happy Thursday !
I set up this Valentine vignette in the living room ..Two cross stitched monthly pieces ..a couple thrift store books with red covers..a dried hydrangea from our garden and a wooden love sign.

Last year I made this chalkboard with crocheted flowers for Valentines day decor.. My daughter wanted it for her house so it hangs in her hallway ..

I also made these crochet rose heart pillows..I still have one its on our bed..but surprisingly 2 of them have ended up at my daughters house too :)

My progress on the giant granny square blanket ..a few more rows and the border..and sewing in all the ends..

Yesterday after more snow the night before..

Today the sun is shining .. this was the sunrise this morning !
Have a wonderful weekend!

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 !

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

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

Granny Square Blanket Finished !

Good Morning ! Hope you are having a nice weekend !
I finished up the granny square blanket I was working on , using up my scraps. I did the join as you go method to connect the squares , so it went really fast. There's 180 squares .. I used mostly red heart acrylic yarn..

Don't you love the springy colors :)

I had trouble deciding on a border , I didn't want scallops or the big ruffle I've been using and ripped out several before just trying something and loving it ! I think this is my favorite border ever !

I did a row of single crochet around the whole blanket , then 2 rows of half double crochet.

I attached the yarn to the first row of half double crochet and did a single crochet around the post , chain 3 all the way around. This makes little tailored ruffles. Then for the second ruffle row I did sc , chain 3 in each stitch around the 2nd row of Half double crochet.

I finished 2 cross stitch pieces...silent night from Country Cottage Needleworks, and another Prairie Schooler Santa for my Santa tree.

Yesterday my son who is at the University of Kentucky texted and said to watch for him on ESPN college game day show .. So we turned it on and I thought how are we ever going to find him in a sea of thousands of people .. there he is even waving to us :) He's in the grey and that's his dorm mate from last year behind him.. Too funny ! They were all over the TV! Its nice to be able to see him when hes so far away !

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

Have a great day !Thanks so much for stopping by ! I love your visits and nice comments !

Grannies, Stitching, Soup ,Snow and Cold !

Good Sunday morning ! Hope you are having a great weekend !
I am still working on the Granny Square blanket , Probably 1/3 of the way finished .. Still loving it !

The other blanket is the Puffy Flower blanket I made last year ..

I completed this ornament for January .. Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks , started a facebook group and Vonna suggested to stitch an ornament for each of the 12 months , so at the end of the year you will have 12 ornaments from LHN or CCN.. Couldn't resist that :)

My progress on Silent Night , hope to get some stitching in today for #santasundayxs on Instagram !

I have supervisors for Dog Lessons..

Yesterday I made the Pioneer Woman's tortilla soup .. I make it ALOT .. I do a couple things different.. When I cook the chicken I use 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper and 1 tsp. chili powder with a little garlic salt for the spices..( This chicken is also really good just sliced on top of rice with colby jack on top ) Also.. instead of big peppers I use a whole bag of the mini sweet peppers chopped..and I add a quart size bag of frozen zucchini from our garden ..I omit the black beans ( just don't like them ) sometimes we also add corn ,either frozen or fresh. Great way to get lots of vegetables in :) I fry the corn tortillas for the top.. and you have to have fresh cilantro .. This soup is amazing !! If I ahve alot left over , I put it into single serving size plastic containers ..It is great to take one of them out for lunch :)

Since I now live in Antarctica...( just kidding , Chicago suburbs) We had more snow last night and tomorrow it will be -6 for the high ...-24 overnight !!! Wonder if they will close the schools again ..

They were all enjoying watching the snow plow..

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

Have a great day !Thanks so much for stopping by ! I love your visits and nice comments !
