Unfinished Friday – Busywork blanket

By

Some folks post finished projects for a ‘Finished – Friday’.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a finished project.
So, I decided to do an ‘Unfinished Friday’ and post an update on my unfinished busywork blanket.

I have the panels finished but haven’t joined them together. I plan to get the blanket finished soon and post a finished update.

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend.
Happy crafting.

 

 

Latest Busywork Busy-V Blanket Update

By

I’ve decided to make a few changes to my latest Busywork Busy-V Blanket.
I’m using just 2 colors and making it a smaller throw.

It’s not as much fun making this throw (so far) as it was the other blankets.
The reason my enthusiasm is less this time, it’s been too cold and snowy for me to sit outside and crochet. :/

Wishing you all wonderful weather
for a pleasant rest of the week.

 

Patchwork Busy-V Blanket

By

I’m happy that I finally have a new project to do.
I had better luck getting my supplies together to make this project.
Yep, it’s another ‘Busy-Work’ V stitch crochet blanket.
busy-vcolorboxI’ve planned for the color blocking to be more squared to give it more of a patchwork look.
As you can tell, my busy-v pattern is my favorite, right now. This is Busy-V blanket number 3. I like that it’ll keep me busy for a few weeks or more.

I hope y’all aren’t getting too bored with my Busy-Work blankets. I figure my enjoyment for working this pattern may eventually run its course. Or maybe not… I never know about me. 😁

Wishing you all enjoyable busy work!

Decorating my Special Lanterns For Christmas

By

My husband really likes the way I’ve decorated the lanterns he gave me. I’m quite happy with the way they turned out.
These lanterns are special to me. It took me awhile to figure out how to decorate them without permantly changing the lantern body. I’m happy with the way I figured it out.
For the lower part, I took some plastic canvas and cut it large enough to fit like a collar on the lamps. I sat it on a piece of parchment paper to protect my table. I cut up a few inexpensive flower bouquets and hot glued them around the plastic canvas.
For the top, I crocheted a collar and hot glued some greenerery and bows on them.
Both of these decoration accessories are removable from the lanterns.
I had a fun day of designing and creating these decorations for my lanterns.
I’m probably going to make other decoration accessories for the lantern for other special times of the year. I think it’d be fun.

Wishing you all happy holiday crafting!
