Scrapbook/Card Making Workshop

Went to a Scrapbook/Card Making Workshop over the weekend, I would really like to get into the Card Making, this would be very useful. The Scrapbook side I said (not for me) but after attending the workshop, what is the old saying - never say never. hehehehe.
After seeing all the achievements and projects the others were doing with their photo's, well hmmmmmmm. I just might drag out all those old albums I have stored in boxes etc.
Besides doing the crafty thing at the Workshop, what a nice day and good company was had by all, I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to attending another next month.

Hat Box

A much needed box to keep my hat safe (for red hatters), I couldn't find a large enough one within my price range, so decided to have a go and make one. Must admit I'm very proud of how it turned out although there is room for improvement, which I will keep in mind should I need to do another. LOL

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all you mums out there. Been down in Brissy since Thursday (baby sitting) mind you he doesn't really need looking after (15yrs) the shops are so near for wandering around and finding things (the old saying do you need it or do you just want it?) LOL Heading home today, not looking forward to the drive.

Wow! two days in a row for writing in the blog. Until next time

Shoulder Wrap

Scarves

A couple of crotchet Scarves I have done recently.

The Magic Ball or Scrap Wool Rug that I crotched, great way of using up all those ends that you seem to accumulate.

I used to strands of 8ply with a 9.00mm hook.
Using a strand of black (any colour will do) and a strand of Magic Ball.

Started of with a chain of 150 stitches.
1st Row Treble.
2nd Row Double Crotchet
Repeat the two rows until you are happy with the size. (ending with a treble row)
Then I did a row of double crotchet around the rug to finish it off.
