This is the beautiful sunflower wall hanging I told you about. I still have not hung it up but I wanted to show you anyway. My brother Chris made it as a surprise for me. He used the sunflower pattern found on Dawn's blog, Fiddlesticks. The rest he made up himself. I soooooooo love it, it's awesome, the best part being that it's from my brother, who as I've said, is my best friend. We're now working on tree skirts, I'll show that soon as well. Till next time....<br />

<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Hello again! Popping in to show a couple of things..</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">This is one of the afghans I was talking about, it uses the woven stitch. I got the pattern from Hooked on Needles. Pattern <a href="http://www.hookedonneedles.com/2008/07/how-to-crochet-woven-stitch.html">here.</a></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">I relly like this stitch, it moves fast and has a great texture. This will feel great to snuggle under and read!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13;"></span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">I set him next to the first owl pillow I made, that was from a free sheet I found at Jo-ann's. I might have to start a collection..</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Finally, a bit of fall. I made a handfull of things, I did forget to add a leaf I made to the picture. I have also finished another pumpkin like the large orange one but it is gold. I'll have to get a picture soon. I also found a few things I made a while back that I forgot about. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">The orange pumpkin is a pattern from Lilana Wofsey Dohnert. The acorn and cornicopa are also from her. The leaf I made as well.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13;">The pumpkin, squash and eggplant are free from Lion Brand. The indian corn I made from two different patterns. The tomato is from Lily sugar and cream. Last are the other three pumkins, all made from a pattern in Stitch Craft Create magazine. I've been busy..and my brother and I started a granny tree skirt today..my fingers are busy busy!

<strong><span style="color: red;">Hello...I got a couple of pictures on my computer so I want to show you two things I've made lately. I still have to take pictures of several other things but I have these two for today. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>I made a sunflower using Dawns pattern. Her website is called Fiddlesticks and you can find the pattern <a href="http://dawndavis.blogspot.com/">here.</a><span style="color: red;"> Actually takes you to the current page but the pattern is in the July archives. Love her designs. And oh jeez, you should see the beautiful wall hanging my brother made from this, it was a surprise for me. I'll get pictures very soon, I need hubby's help hanging it up. It's so awesome..</span></strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">The pumpkins I made using a pattern from the current issue of Stitch Craft Create magazine. I bought it at Walmart and I've seen it at the book store as well. </span><span style="color: red;">Super easy and fast pattern, I made a huge one with giant homespun but sadly it looks terrible so no picture of it..I've alo made a cornicopia and some vegetables and have two afghans going..I'm on a rip as I said. Ooooohhhhh and a really sweet owl pillow, it's adorable!!!! I need to get the dang camera out..my husband has had it up at Lowman a lot, trying to get a record of how the cabin building is going. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">So busy things right now..I'm super stoked fall is coming, love love love it!!! I get fall fever instead of spring fever :) I think that's about it for now, I want to visit some blogs I have missed lately and work on my afghan some more, it's single crochet so it's going to take some time. Back soon with more pics..have a good one!</span></strong>kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-83853423120732389902012-09-08T11:04:00.003-07:002012-09-08T11:05:31.895-07:00Oh hello hello hello!!!! I'm posting really fast, just wanted to pop in and tell you I'm in the middle of setting up my new computer, my old one pooped out and I've not been able to do anything. Sucks not having a computer!!! So once I get familiar with this one I would like to show you some of the things I've made lately, I've been on a roll... be back soon, thanks for you're patience!!!kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-705828244271179152012-06-26T11:57:00.001-07:002012-06-26T11:57:28.715-07:00Hello........ I have been gone awhile! My computer totally went on the fritz and my brother helped me to finally get it fixed. So much problems! Sadly too, my computer had a virus that was eating certain files so I've lost all but a few pictures :( I'm so crushed, I had vacation pictures and video of my daughter graduating elementary school, among lots of other things. So I have to start fresh! I do have a few pics on my camera and I'm ready to take some of a couple other projects so I'll hopefully get to that soon. Thanks for stopping by, I"LL BE BACK....kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-38867903049648601892012-05-01T13:02:00.000-07:002012-05-01T13:02:06.549-07:00Bleah! Just what I need, another crochet fascination!<h2>
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>I tell you, I can't find time to crochet or read or anything! My husband is consumed with cabin this and cabin that and getting this outhouse we're building done. Which basically means I also have to be consumed with it too. I'm up to my eyeballs in it! I'm excited to have a small cabin but when my husband gets on a "project", that is all his mind will latch on to and he fully expects me to be there every second. I am completely different in that I have difficulty sticking projects out because there are so many things I want to do and my attention wanders all the time. I just bought a cute little five dollar crochet book at wal-mart, it has a couple owls, mushrooms and other animals in it. Fully intent on making said mushrooms, I've already been distracted by scrumbles. I've never worked freeform crochet but man I have seen some gorgeous makes out there! So now I want to see if I can do it. Only that leads to thinking I don't have any unique yarns to throw in the mix which leads to me wanting to shop! Not a bad thing but I do have to watch the spending.</b></i></span> <b><span style="color: red;"><i>So all I have been able to do is drool over everyone's projects and try to figure out how to get my husband distracted so I can have some me time. I NEED some crochet time! That's whats been going on here so I have not posted much lately. I'm going to try to get some time to dig through my yarn or maybe come up with some sketches of ideas for free form. I think I'd like to make a wall hanging for my craft room. Do any of you free form? If so I'd love to hear all about it and see pics if you have any. </i></span></b><span style="color: red;"><i><b>I guess that's about it for now, if I get some time to actually try this out I'll show some photos. Unless it just stinks and would embarrass the hell out of me! Bye!!!! </b></i></span></h2>

<b>Hello! I feel like it's been a long time since I posted, it's been quite busy at my house lately. I've not had many chances to crochet lately or much of anything really. I did manage to finish my crochet hook case. Well, I still have to decorate the front, I just can't decide what I want to do with it yet. I really like the case though, plenty of room for bits and bobs and lots of hooks. </b><br />
<b><span style="color: black;">I have been busy helping my husband plan a very small cabin we are going to build on a lot we own in the mountains. We have quite a nice space as we don't have any neighbors very close. It's a unique space and very private. We plan on spending most of the summer working on this so I foresee that I will probably have a hard time </span>working in some crochet. Do it I will though!</b><br />
<b>Today is my youngest sons b-day, he's thirteen! I'm quite blown away, it just does</b><br />
<b> not seem possible. My oldest son Seth is 22, he finally got a job (a huge miracle for him!) and I'm so super happy! I despaired that my oldest two would ever get on their own feet and now they both have jobs, Cody has a car and Seth is starting to study for his license. <span style="color: black;">I'm a proud proud proud</span></b> <b>mamma!</b><br />

<b>Hello! I've been a while checking back in. It's been a loooooooong week here. My youngest son Matthew has been sick for seven days straight, fighting a cold that turned into bronchitis and an ear infection. My poor baby can't seem to get a break! Midway through the week I was down with a fever also. No cooking or cleaning or laundry being done. Most importantly ( for me! ) no crocheting. It has sucked! I do have a couple of things to show that I did the last time I was at my brothers though. I bought a pattern awhile back, I think it was from stripey blue, and finally decided to try it. I only got the lid done, it was the end of the day by the time I got to this. So I'll have to get the bottom made up. Cute. </b> <br />

I held two strands of Hometown USA yarn together, it is very thick. Then I added some flowers I made using Alice's pattern from Crochet with Raymond. Looks like it would be a good Easter basket. There on the bottom is a peek at what I'm working on now. I'm slow with the amigurumi that has several parts. It's going to be a little Sprite.

Hanging up. Not where it will stay but I wanted the picture against a bit of white. The directions say to pin and glue the back but I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that. I think it hangs okay as is. maybe later. Lots of fun to make. There are MANY pics in the directions, what I do is print a pic of the finished item, then a few of parts that have details I might need to see. Then I write out the pattern on the pages I printed the pictures on. Saves on ink. I like the way Lucy does her patterns, great for beginners and everyone in between. I think she could easily write a crochet book! Anyhow, I'm off to school soon so I must be off.

<b>Hello again!! I haven't posted for a few days as my twenty year old son was in a car wreck. It's been several days back and forth with my husband, going over to work on the car.

So it's been bus</b><b>y busy busy!</b><br />

<b><span style="color: #444444;">This is a close up where I joined the latest squares I made. I was all done then realized I had used a different joining then before. I had worked on something else that I was using a different method for and went on to my afghan continuing that method. I turned it over to check out the whole thing and realized what I did. Tantrum throwing at this discovery. You can see the difference but I'm hoping with the whole thing done maybe it won't be so obvious. I was rather mad at myself and not wanting to look at it till I simmered down so I made my owl and distracted myself. I'm ready to continue on though.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Hello! Just a pop in to show a little apron I made. I saw one at Tangled Happy's and thought of some squares I had sitting abandoned in my closet. The one I saw uses eight squares but I used twelve. I wanted it a little longer and to go further around. So it was quick to put together as I only had to sew the squares together, edge it and make the tie. Easy and cute!

<b><span style="color: red;"> And here is my finished amazing scarf. Love the color changes in the yarn, I'm trying to</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">figure out if I want another scarf with the rainforest color I bought. Later though as I am plodding along on my big afghan. It's going to take a lot longer then I thought so I'm going to relax about it and just keep at it in between little things. I just can't resist the little things! I have two empty cans of tuna waiting for prettiness using Lucy's pattern at Attic24. She always comes up with the cutest things that add a spot of lovely here and there in the house. I also want to make her candle cozy. If only we had several hands and all the hours of the day to just crochet. Heaven!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Hello! Well as you can see, I have been sidetracked! I had to though. Really. I have always wanted to use some of lion brands Amazing yarn but it's a little pricey for me. I went to Fred Meyer and as I was cruising past the tiny little yarn section I saw a sale sign. Buy two get one free. I fingered it and hemmed and hawed and finally gave in to the wants. This color scheme is called Regatta. I also splurged and bought three rolls of Rainforest. Beautiful. Three shades of green with some yellow. My faves. So yes, I went a bit crazy. I'm happy though and enjoying the scarf making. I only have one and I don't much care for it. Now I'll have two beauties! I am still working on my afghan, I just finished sewing another section of six green squares to the main part and am now starting six orange squares. So more updating of that later when I have more to show.</span></b><br />

Hello!!!! Well I have been busy on my grandala squares. I have a sketch done of the layout of the squares for the afghan and I finished one set of squares. I'm going to join them together then start the next set. I'm being a good girl and sewing ends in as I go. I've learned if I leave too much at the end then I get overwhelmed and then lazy and the project doesn't get finished. I'm really loving making these which helps as I do get bored very fast. I have even turned my head away from other patterns so as not to get distracted, that's not easy for me! I don't really make new years resolutions but if I had to it would be to finish a project before starting another. ( yeah that's gonna happen)! Hee Hee! So that's where I'm at. Super excited to start joining and then lay it on the bed to get an idea of how many sets I will need. I'll be back to post pics of that in the next day or two! Thanks for visiting!kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-71648507310655967702012-01-04T13:18:00.001-08:002012-01-04T13:42:53.325-08:00Grandala Squares Afghan Updatekj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-20184597219130494782011-12-27T08:55:00.000-08:002011-12-27T08:58:56.335-08:00Technical difficulties!I'm having issues with my laptop and am not familiar enough with my xoom to do pics from it so I haven't been able to post. I just bought the xoom manual somebody finally had the sense to put out and my brother is going to help me sort my laptop out very soon. It's my daughter's eleventh b-day today and I have a lot to do. I also want to get Christmas Decs down and out and get the house back to normal. Love Xmas but I have to say I'm ready for parties to be over with. Hope everyone had a lovely Xmas and I'll be back hopefully very soon! My fingers are itching to try a couple of patterns I saw yesterday, at Colour in a simple life. A bobble daisy square and a bobble granny. <br />
The granny is so pretty and I really really want to try it. Perhaps a row here and there in between squares for my afghan. I really should not look at blogs while in the middle of a project, I just get distracted by all the beautiful inspiration out there! I do plan on trying the bobble granny, it is quite unique and also looks like a great stash buster. So have a great day and I'll see you soon!kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-4284086552143791512011-12-23T10:10:00.001-08:002011-12-23T10:10:49.140-08:00Follow my blog with BloglovinFollow my blog with BloglovinFollow my blog with Bloglovin<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3302342/this-that-amp-the-other?claim=cav8686amcq">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>kj sunflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327245093303213713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943089639647561017.post-28210549762952982792011-12-20T12:06:00.000-08:002011-12-20T12:06:27.555-08:00Special Olympics Scarves, Mini Projects and What I'm Reading<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn0ZE3oH4u6JODpOevBuBWA4vt77dUTDzZBi8CM1JONqfEmYkqciGE9vQRXL8WTeEazyAc7Vc_CqT360XQwyHRH515zFRb868IvW0zEALlL1nEPnRyzwGOuvnwl_W7J-wvwQna_K9a-M/s1600/Grandala+Squares+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn0ZE3oH4u6JODpOevBuBWA4vt77dUTDzZBi8CM1JONqfEmYkqciGE9vQRXL8WTeEazyAc7Vc_CqT360XQwyHRH515zFRb868IvW0zEALlL1nEPnRyzwGOuvnwl_W7J-wvwQna_K9a-M/s400/Grandala+Squares+2.JPG" width="400" /></div><br />

Well I thought I'd show my new little fairy girl. She's my second one, I think she's very cute! I quite like fairies and such. I just made another flickr group, it's called Fairies, Spirits, Woodland and Mythical Creatures. Anything bought, home made or pictures if you care to have a look. I like magical things, I have an open mind and heart. I spend a lot of time thinking of our world and all the things out there and their purpose. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">On another topic ( crochet of course) I got frustrated with the grandala squares I was making and so I went to the artist of the family, my brother Chris. He helped me work through my color choices and so I'm now all settled and ready to work on my blanket. I chose three shades each of my six colors and will mix their order up in each square, keeping the reds together and yellows together and so on. Then I changed my border color from grey to antique white. Now I'm pleased as punch and ready to roll! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">I also made a quick Christmas</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">light garland, it was so fast </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> and easy to make. I got the </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> pattern <a href="http://adknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/pattern-christmas-light-garland.html">here</a>. I'm also working on some stars for another garland, pattern <a href="http://ellenbloom.blogspot.com/2009/12/garland-of-stars.html#links">here</a> and spa soap coats, pattern <a href="http://ellenbloom.blogspot.com/">here</a>. Scroll to the bottom to find the pattern! Just some quick things to make in between a big project. Okay, I have to go now, I have the only working computer at the moment and my son is patiently (NOT) waiting to play mine-craft. P.S. I would like to thank everyone who leaves me comments, they are much appreciated and make me very happy!</span></b><br />

I'm really trying to use up my stash of yarn, I literally have a closet full! I'm not diggin my yellow and orange choices though. I might slide over to the store and get one or two colors that blend a little better. You would think with all I have that I could find a few different shades to choose from. I just don't have that many for those two colors. So after lunch I believe I'll bop over to hobby lobby and get one roll of yellow and one orange. I'll take a piece of the two colors I like out of each set so I can find something that blends well (see how I talk myself into making it okay)? I'm sure there are a few yarnaholics who can relate! I've enjoyed myself so far in making these. I set myself up in my cleaned up craft room yesterday, stuck in Lost to listen to while I worked and had a nice afternoon. I have cooking and baking planned for the weekend but in between I'm going to shut myself up in my room and crochet the day away! Have a good weekend everyone!</span></b><br />
