It's been a while since I've joined in it seems, a while since I've had anything much to share of the crafty variety. But this last week I've been doing a bit of crocheting. My brother and sister in law are expecting their 3rd baby in a few weeks so I've started this Rainbow Ripple Blanket I found on Ravelry. I decided not to make it a rainbow of colours because I don't know what gender the baby will be so I thought a plain colour like white would be perfect for either a boy or girl.
I also made myself this crochet flower brooch, the pattern found in this book. I plan on putting it onto a bag that I'm still to sew up for myself.
Lovely, lovely crafts there Catherine...the white is perfect i think! I love your choice of fabric for bunting...hope you share a pic with us when finished!
ReplyDeleteAlso glad you are getting alittle time to spend on some crafting...good for the soul i am sure (says the girl who has had the sewing machine out on the table for two weeks to finish dresses for the twins and yet to get there!!)xx
Beautiful photos as always! Those fabrics will make the sweetest bunting...

Oh that baby is going to be so spoilt....I can feel it already! Such beautiful creations, I just love the flower
ReplyDeleteLove the bunting fabrics, perfect for a High Tea party! The baby blanket will be just lovely and you can never go wrong with white! x
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket, what a lovely present!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasured gift your blanket will be. My aunt made me one when Grace was born and I was so grateful for all the time and love that went into it, just as I'm sure your brother and sister-in-law will feel about yours. Love the bunting fabrics and your brooch is cute. Is it something a beginner like me could attempt or is it a more advanced project?
ReplyDeleteWhite is definitely the perfect choice. Nice to see your crochet work. Those fabrics are very pretty and will make a very nice tea party bunting. Have a fabulous Friday! Tammy
ReplyDeleteWonderful creative endeavours. I agree with you about the baby blanket - yours look just right in a plain colour, classic and more versatile.
ReplyDeletehi love your photos and projects, hope to see more of them once they are finished, great work
ReplyDeleteps i've got that book , you took the flower from, its one of my favourite crochet books
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is going to look beautiful. I like your use of a neutral colour as I think it will show off the texture really well. All the best with the birthday plans. I remember frantically sewing loads of bunting (done very simply with pinking shears and twine) the night before Luca's last birthday. The good thing is it can be saved for next time.
ReplyDeleteThe croteched blanket will be beautiful, what a lovely gift for a new born. We got given a white knitted blanket when our second daughter was born & still cherish it now. It was the softest thing to wrap my babies in:) Nx
ReplyDeleteOh I think the crochet blanket is going to look amazing! I love that you picked white instead of a rainbow of colours.
ReplyDeleteYour crafts look beautiful, love the crochet and your fabric choices look gorgeous.
