2nd Shawl

I'm now working on my next shawl called Tea House Wrap by Alexandra Tavel using Lion Brand Jeans yarn 
I haven't progressed to far but I can't say that I've spent to much time on it either.  Of course I did have to rip out a few times so that could be the reason.  Planning to work on it today and hoping I can get several inches added. 

But for now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

Finished shawl

I completed the shawl I had been working on.  I do still need to block in but I have to find something to use that I can pin it to so I can leave it for a couple of days.  Since I have a sweet Cavalier named Ruby, the carpet is not an option.  😉
The pattern calls for the option of adding fringe but I'm not sure I want it on this one.  I don't think I'm much of a fringe gal. 

Another good day to sit and work on my next shawl since we're in the middle of a blizzard.  Oh MY!! 

 for now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

My First Shawl

I've just recently decided I wanted to start crocheting again.  I used to do it a lot before I started quilting.  But back then I pretty much only made blanket throws.  So that got boring and took way to long so I put up my hooks and called it good. 
 
But that was then and this is Now and I unpacked those hooks and now I'm making my first shawl.  There are so many new patterns to choose from.  And Ravelry is just fantastic.  It's a site for 'anything' yarn related and I've just recently joined and worked up my own Notebook.  Of course I've spent hours and hours just browsing and picking patterns that I want to make. 

My 1st project is a shawl named  Virus meets Granny shawl .  I chose Unforgettable yarn from Red Heart in colorway Echo .  The picture does not do it justice at all.  The colors are much richer and the yarn is sooo soft. 
This is the first picture taken several days ago and I've added several rows to it and when I just quickly count I think I have around 20 more rows to go. 

So for now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

Catching Up....

Sharing the quilts I've made these last three years.....
1st:  Our son's oldest daughter was married and moved to Iowa.  She now teaches 5th grade and he works at John Deer.  Here's the quilt I made for them.  2015

And along came Scarlett Grace.... She was a bit of a surprise.  LOL  2016

And then there was Scott & Bekahs wedding quilt....2016

And soon they gave us our latest Great... Owynn Paul  2017

  and the back.  

We did have a lot of events these last few years but I won't bore you with all of that.  

For now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

Too Long......

I can't believe it's been almost three years since I posted anything.  I'm not sure why I stopped.  Guess I just needed a break and time to just focus on 'life' around here. 

I did manage to get two wedding quilts made and two more baby quilts.  I guess that's better than I thought.    I'll show them all in my next post. 

About eight months ago we adopted a rescue dog.  Our little Cavalier was a breeder dog and thankfully a wonderful gal rescued her (and others) from a mill not to far from us.  She is just the sweetest dog and never leaves my side.  Love her to pieces!!
Let me introduce our sweet RUBY. 

And for now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!
