i stood in the thrift shop, groping underneath a christmas layed out table and stumbled upon mini x-mas baubles. like some twenty plastic bags, of which i brought home just three.
straightaway i fancied a garland with baubles, and started one yesterday, discovering fairly quickly time could easily grow into an issue.
which it did, so for now, i've clumsily hung a green strand over a kitchen shelf, and i started crocheting a string for the orangey baubles. i honestly have no idea whether all of my baubles will find a strung home. ☻
leaving me a tad stranded, i am overly excited to check out your own interpretations of garland. here's looking at you, blog friends and creatives, and thank you all, for being so generous with your time and effort!
a tiny little word with such an impact : made from paper, textiles, organic matter; folded, strung, festooned, patched up together, wreathed, ... you name it.
beth happens to chose a corner view theme that has had me literally hooked. the "reds and pinks" has turned itself nicely into a fully grown and daily used couch blanket. {UPDATE THOUGH.... this is a blanket post...} ☻
the "green waves" happened after crocheting a baby blanket for tera. i couldn't stop the addictive pattern.
an oldie, i call it my "mock tudor rose". i hooked this one up as i sat through many seasons of the tudors.
this one i've been talking about recently. slight drawback : i air counted 444 squares, of which just 387 seem to be sitting inside the box. having measured three length rows to the bed, i've discovered i'll need at least double the amount of squares. ☻
and in case you wonder : i crochet to calm myself down. i've been called a compulsive neurotic but i'm pleased to say i feel for this winter nighttime necessity. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, beth's theme.
.... and not a swan in sight ☻, but listening to them, as i slid through vintage story books, putting my smallest scissors to use. stefanie tickled everyone's fancy i hope, she sure did mine.
for the longest time (all of two years), we had this evening view from our house, at the front side. i'm sad to say some 16 apartments-new-build now sits in front of heavenly beautiful natural theatre. i know it's there, we just can't reach it with the eye no more.... jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, kristin's theme.
