Grey and Yellow Ripple

 The grey and white ripple is growing !  I think I have about 5 more color changes and it will be finished. I am going to make 2 more of the big roses for the other end and maybe some smaller ones in a lighter or darker yellow. This is the pattern I am using for the ripple , I did make it larger than the pattern calls for. ( wider) and here is the rose pattern  ..

 I am making this for my daughter who is buying her first house , she is going with a grey and yellow color scheme for her extra bedroom. Things seem to be moving along and she should be able to close on the house the end of the month . Won't this look pretty draped on the end of the bed ?

 Here is my progress on the Prairie Schooler July sampler.. Still hoping to finish by the end of July :)

My back sidewalk is finally starting to bloom... Lots of coneflowers and other perennials ...I scattered zinnia seeds on  both sides and they are starting to bloom also . We actually got our first cucumber and tomato yesterday !

I have a new helper in the watering .. he just loved playing with the hose.  Won't go near the sprinkler but laughed like crazy as he watered himself.

Hope you have a great week !

Thanks as always for your visits and comments !

Baby Girl Owl Set

 Hello ! Last week I had a request for a baby girl owl blanket and hat ... Isn't this just the cutest :)

 I used Red Heart Yarn in 2 colors of pink and one color of brown ..I previously made this set for a boy , you can see that here ..

I have picked strawberries 3 times now out of the garden for a total ( so far) of 7-1/4 pounds.. Not too bad for my little patch !

I have made baby spinach , strawberry, apple and bacon salad with a balsamic vinagrette twice ( so good) !

My daughter made this box chocolate cake that we split open and topped with berries and whip cream ( Amazing !)

It was the oldest grandsons birthday on Sunday , so I made a white cake , bought some of that cool whip frosting ( its very good) used that in the middle with some strawberries , then topped it with more frosting , fresh strawberries and crushed oreos ! Looks fancy but so easy !

We have been having unusually cool weather in the low 50's last night , that it seems our garden is not growing as fast as it should! Supposed to be in the 90's this weekend so hopefully that will help. The only thing that is growing really good are my potatoes in pots ! They are huge ! This is my current crochet work in progress.. My daughter wants to do her room in grey and yellow, and she wants a chevron pattern..So I am making a grey and white ripple blanket and I found the pattern for these huge roses on pinterest..They are at least 6 inches across.. I plan on doing a couple clusters of them and maybe some smaller ones too on each end... here is the pattern for the roses. I am about 3 times this far on the blanket right now..

Thanks as always for visiting and your nice comments ! Have a great day !

Football blanket is finished, and more "FALL" !

The ripple blanket for the college boy is finished! I made the football http://crochetncrafts.com/crochet/football-placemat.html from this pattern .. and then hand sewed it around the edge and a line down the middle. I was going to put his initials on the football, and tried making a B last night and it didn't look like a B .. Unless I cut them out of felt.. and sew them on.

This is a coffee filter wreath I made last year , I hung it over our foyer mirror .. I made the decomesh garland above it ..

The decomesh garland has ribbon, burlap ribbon and lots of sunflowers , leaves and some berries..

Last winter on Pinterest there was a big plank of wood like the fall sign that said JOY .. I had to make that sign and this is the backside of it , that I painted the word FALL on.. Just did this this morning.

The porch is in desperate need of pumpkins, gourds and cornstalks..I watered all the mums this morning and thats whats all over the cement.

Its hard to get decent photos in the foyer , but here is a little closer up shot of the decomesh garland..

Thanks for reading, and all your nice comments ! !

 

Fall tablerunner project & starting to decorate for Fall !

I made this table runner yesterday from osnaburg and some plaid homespun.. I saw a subway art table runner on pinterest and this is my version .. Today I got out my craft paints and foam stamps and used fall words to stamp the runner.. I am going to cut out shapes from felt ( I think)of pumpkins and leaves and sew them on in a few spots. Also when the stamping dries I am going to add another ruffle in a coordinating homespun a couple inches up from the first one. Those big empty spots actually have the word family in a light goldish yellow.. just doesn't show up in the photo

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with the finished project !

The roosters on top of the buffet in the kitchen got a little autumn treatment.. love the sunflowers.

And some fall flowers for this rooster area..

The front porch where the scarecrows are hanging out .. I got those mums yesterday at Walmart for 2.98 and they are big !

Decomesh wreath on the front door, made this last fall but yesterday I added the mesh burlap ribbon and some glass bead picks from hobby lobby.. I bought the picks for a decomesh garland I am making for my hallway but they didn't show up enough so I will go back to get something different..

I still need some cornstalks and my carload of pumpkins and gourds.. That won't happen until Sept. 22 , but I am ready ! Love pumpkin picking day !

Scarecrow couple sitting in a pumpkin chair in the hallway..

Family room mantle, I made the banner with my Cricut and scrapbook supplies.. I added some fall leaf garlands , some burlap ribbon and some dried hydrangeas from my neighbors yard .. love the hydrangeas

In my backyard it is still summer ! Flowers everywhere!

Tomatoes still by the ton.. getting a little slower to ripen..still making lots of roasted tomato sauce

The little orange flowers are a kind of zinnia ..

The big orange ones are zinnias too !

In the crochet world, I am still enjoying putting this granny square together as I go .. ( not too much progress )

My sons blanket is almost finished..

I started crocheting the football while watching the reall housewives of new jersey and got so engrossed in the show I messed it all up and had to rip it out.But heres a photo of what was left after the ripping..

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and for all your nice comments ! I appreciate all of you !
