Hello

I am back today with another card for JayGee's Nook.  I have used a new set  from BasicGrey/Hero Arts called 'Brilliant'.  I have also used the 'totally' sentiment from Paper Smooches.   I masked all the pencils in the jar, and used dimensionals to pop up the stars and pennant.

Crochet {two}

Hello

Here is another crochet project that I was asked to do a couple of weeks before Christmas.  A Christening Shawl.   It needed to be done before I went away and I had no pattern, but I did have a chrochet shawl that my oldest son recieved when he was born, so I copied that.

I am sorry but I don't have the exact measurements, and I was so rushed with it, I didn't write the pattern down ...

Fortunately I was able to work out the correct stitches and did more rows on each section as the yarn and crochet hook were a different size.

Yarn:  'Spring clour' Cotton (Benidgo Wool Mills)

Hook:  4.5 mm

and have a great day!

Good Morning Crafty People

... and welcome to another week with JayGee's Nook DT.  I have been away for a couple of weeks enjoying our holiday with family and friends.  I am sure you have all seen the 6x6 paper pads from My Minds Eye (for me it was love at first sight LOL!).   I know that my style is more CAS + cute, and these papers are more shabby chic, but they are still gorgeous!   You can find these and lots of other new goodies over in the SHOP.

Crochet {one}

For the past 12 months I have been going through a 'crochet faze'.   This was my first rug, and I have used lots of 'granny squares'. 294 to be exact.  By the time I had sewed them all together it was quite large.

For the edging I did 1 row of double (dc), and then another row of treble(tr) with shell pattern at the seam of every square.

I have decided to start recording my crochet here on my blog.  I hope that is ok with all my papercrafting friends.  I just want to keep a detailed record of my wool craft too. 

The yarn that I have used for this rug is from Bendigo Wool Mills.  The yarn is 'classic' and comes in a 200g ball (which is great for rugs), and the colours are:

Java

Seaquest

Celery

Lipstick Rose

A Simple Thankyou

Happy New Year

I hope your and your families all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  It's going to be hot down here in Melbourne today (40*), so the boys and I will escape to the movies where they have real air-conditioning Ha!

Anyway, here are some thankyous that I made for a baby girls Christening.

Stamps:  Garden Friends (Jane's Doodles), Butterfly Dreams (PTI), Tiny Treats: Halloween (PTI)

Card:  Certainly celery + DP, whisper white, regal rose + DP

Ink:  Regal rose, certainly celery, true black, copics

Accessories:  Grosgrain ribbon, satin ribbon, rhinestones (coloured with copics), xponge, dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by

and enjoy your day ...
