Blended Scraps Ripple Finished!!! And a few other projects :)

So here it is!! All finished. YAY! I finally added the last few rows needed to finish this afghan. I love it!

There are more pictures on my facebook page and in my Etsy shop.   I will be starting another ripple afghan soon. But this new one has planned out colors.

Here is Petunia. She is here just in time for Easter :)  I actully finished her awhile ago. But am finally getting around to getting some  pictures of her. You can see more pictures of her here and here.

And finally here are a bunch of dishcloths I have finished. :) I have been making a lot of dishcloths lately.

I found the round dishcloth pattern at http://www.bestfreecrochet.com/ .

Maggie Weldon is doing 365 days of crochet dishcloths. And she is providing patterns everyday for different dishcloths.

Finished Some more dishcloths

 I finished some more dishcloths.  This is my 2nd set with cotton and thread together. I wanted to give them a more finished looking edge. I am much happier with them now. You can get the pattern for them here. I am working on another dishcloth using white cotton and burgandy thread. Looks interesting. LOL! I wish I could find a size 10 thread in yellow here. But so far no luck. :( 
  I don't have any new pictures of the Blended Scraps Ripple right now. But I have started the next section. I am doing reds now. :) Hopfully will have a new picture to share later this week.

Some of my projects

I am not always working on afghans. LOL!

Here is one of my newest dishcloths. I used one strand of 100% WW cotton in white and one strand of crochet thread in Orchird pink to make the above dishcloth. I added the thread hoping that it would give them better scrubbing power. :)

Here is another one using the same pattern. The only difference is that I used a Frosty green thread instead of the pink. On these dishcloths I also included a loop so that they could be hung up.

This is a prayer shawl that I am working on. I am using Bernat Kashmere in Pink for this one. I really love that yarn and wish that they still made it. It is super soft.

Thank you Mom :)

I received an unexpected package in the mail yesterday. :) It was from my mom. She sent me the beautiful knit dishcloth you see above. And it is in the colors we are using in our kitchen. So cool. :) The picture dosn't show it very well, but that is red and orange. :)

My mom is also a very crafty person, but does more crafts than I can/know how to do. She also does counted cross stitch, crochet,sewing, and quilting. :)

Along with the dishcloth she sent a set of Balane hooks for my daughter Kyra. :)

Thank you Mom :)

Fiber Friday- A couple little projects.

 I made up a couple more pumpkins in some non traditional colors. Looking at this picture though, the colors make them look more like apples. Hmmm! I think I need to keep working on these. Maybe I can make up a little basket of fruits and veggies. That would be neat. :) I have not been following a pattern on these so they don't all come out exactly the same. The rose one is made with Red Heart yarn in Cafe brown, Paddy Green and Light Raspberry. The green one, I used what was left from the hat. It is Loops and Threads in Fern Greeen, Red Heart in Cafe Brown and Paddy Green

 I also finished off another set of Dishcloths. I used my own pattern for these. 

I used peaches and cream cotton in Bright Navey, Burgandy,Ecru and Cranberry Blues.

These are a for a friend from church. :)

And lastly, here is Sean! FINALLY was able to get another photo of him. He really dislikes me taking pictures. LOL! I picked up a new craft to try out. It is a knitting Loom. I think I need to go back and get one of the round ones. :) He is working on the start of a scarf in this picture. :)

I am joining in a new Linky today. YAY! If you would like to join as well ..... you can find Fiber Fridays and Visions of Sugar Plums

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

A few finished projects

Just finshed this set of dishcloths. :) They are a gift for a friend at church.

I used Peaches and Cream in Earth Tone and Desert Sunset

Here is the Pat Hat, completly finished. Yay! I really like this pattern and would loke to make some more in different colors. This hat is now avaliable in my Etsy shop.

And in keeping with the Fall/Halloween theme. Here is my Pumpkin Flower Hotpad. :)

I used peaches and cream in Pumpkin Orange and Emerald Green

Have a great day everyone :)

Fall ?

Can you see the small touches of color in the tree? Fall officially starts at 11:09 pm Wednesday.

But it sure dosn't feel like it here. Atleast not during the day. We are still hitting the low 90's. Was 93 out yesterday. And we are close to hitting a record here. The record was 88 days at 90 or above during the summer. Right now we are sitting at 82 days.  We shall see what happens..

I am really hoping for a cool down soon. I am really ready for Fall.

A couple more pictures of the trees. I don't think you can really see any of the touches of color in these last two.

I have been working on some new dishcloths. Here is what I have finished so far. Can you tell I have been thinking about fall? :) The dishcloths are done using my own design. The colors are Country Red, Sunburst Orange, Gold, Jute and Celery.

And here are some coasters I finished also. These are made from my own design as well.

The colors I used for these are Lilac and Tangerine.

Have a great day everyone!!!

 The last couple of days have been beautiful outside. Far better than those days in the upper 90's and low 100's. Maybe fall really is just around the corner. :)  Yesterday was the start of the Fall Softball season. Kyra was working on being the catcher for her team last night. Thursday she will be putting on all the gear and trying it out again. So its looking like her and Bree will be the catchers for there team. Her coach is also trying to decide if he wants her on 2nd or 3rd base. So we will see how it goes. Normally she plays centerfield.

Happy Memorial Day

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs this evening. YUM!!
