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 !

Burlap spring wreath

Good Monday morning ! I had such an exciting weekend , I can't wait to tell you about it !
But first I made this wreath last week...I wanted to make a burlap wreath and use some of the black /white check burlap ribbon in it. I went to Hobby Lobby and they have decomesh that looks like burlap, so fun ! So that made the choice easy !

This time I used a straw wreath for the base , I left the plastic on since it will be outside.

Don't you love that black/ white check burlap ribbon ? I sure do !

I gathered the decomesh and used florist pins to secure the mesh to the wreath , then added a blop of hot glue over each pin for security .

This is the wreath with just the mesh and burlap ribbon

I added daisies that I cut down the stems to about 4 inches and glued them in.

Here it is on the front door..I am going to make a pillow for the chair that sits on the porch in black and white this week.. Haven't decided how , but I think I might try painting black and white checks, or do a little subway art in black and white!

Ok, now for our exciting weekend .. We drove down to Kentucky for the Spring blue and white game.. Our son is a walk on freshman Kicker/punter.. He told us he was dressing but wasn't sure if he would play ..

He got to kick 3 extra points ( made them ) 2 field goals ( made one , went wide right on the other ) and punted once.. His team won 24-23 ...

Seeing him up there on the huge scoreboard ...AMAZING ! He is # 90 in the back waiting to kick

It was so exciting for all of us .. The stadium was packed ! They had over 50,000 people there !!!

Thanks so much for stopping by ! Hope you all have a great week !
As always thank you so much for your nice comments !
