The Cutest Crocheted Rose Valentines Pillows

Good Morning ! Are these not the cutest ? I l-o-v-e them ! I am not usually a Valentines day decorator , but my imagination wouldn't let me not make these ! I wanted to make pillows with this red ticking stripe at Christmas time but I just didn't get around to it..I do have some ideas for next year :) So I love these crocheted roses and whats more Valentines day than roses ?

I bought the red ticking stripe fabric and the duck fabric ,pillow forms and yarn at Joann Fabrics. The fabrics I used are in the utility fabrics if you are going to make these. I used 1/2 yard for the red stripe and a yard for the duck which made 2 -18 inch pillows. I just made 18 inch squares and sewed a small 1/4 inch seam on 3 sides .. then hand sewed the bottom .. Super easy ! You could even glue it all if you don't sew :)

Each 18 inch pillow took 14 roses ..These are the same roses I used last year for the sweater pillows .. I used a G size hook and worsted weight red heart yarn.

I used hot glue to attach the roses , you could sew them also .. I just layed them out and glued away :)

For the red stripe and one of the cream ones I glued them on after the pillow was stuffed and the bottom sewed up.. The other cream one I did without stuffing it first and I didn't like the shape of the heart as much ..I even tried to peel the flowers off , but they weren't coming off !

I think the cream colored ones are coming to my bedroom after Valentines day ..

Anthropologie Inspired Wreath

Today I am sharing my Anthropologie Inspired pompon wreath ..I neede a wreath for the door to the basement that is in our kitchen .. It needed some dressing up..

I used a Styrofoam wreath form..and red heart cream colored yarn ..

I used one whole large size of the red heart yarn ..I cut a square of cardboard and wrapped the yarn around to make the pompons.

Tied in the middle and then cut the loops ..and trim to make them round.

I hot glued 3 rows, one on the very top, one in the inside and a row on the outside.

I looped the ribbon around the top and we just stapled it to the top of the door.

Isn't it just the cutest !

Hope your Christmas preparations are going smoothly , We are still trying to finish our shopping !Thanks so much for stopping by !

Granny Ripple is Finished and Another Big Flower Blanket

Hello !
I finished the granny ripple this weekend and started another big flower blanket. You can see the first big flower blanket here..

These granny ripples work up pretty quickly . Here is the first granny ripple I made ..

I changed the pattern up on this big flower blanket , from a 4 stitch granny square to the normal 3 and left out all the chains except in the corners I did 2 chains. It makes it not so loose.. I am doing the join as you go and it is going pretty fast.

I have a bunch more flowers to be put into squares..All the yarn I am using is red heart yarn..

Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments ! Hope the rest of your week is great !

Giant Granny Square blanket Finish

It's finished ! My summery giant granny square blanket is finished :)

For the edging :I did a row of single crochet in each of the colors I used for the blanket , then for the white row.. I did sc,ch 3 sc in same stitch twice ..skip 2 stitches and repeat all the way around . For the corners I did sc chain3, sc chain5 , sc chain3

All the yarn is Red Heart , except the watermelon color which I got at Michaels.

In these 2 big pots we have planted potatoes .. They are growing so big ! Can't wait to see if we get alot of potatoes out of each pot. I saw online that they sell bags to grow potatoes in , so I figured why not plant them in pots !
