More Easter things...
First I can show you our Easter Bunny....
He quite liked eating my Easter Tree! I have been whizzing on and now I have finished my 6 crochet squares too.
I have also made myself a skirt! This was quite easy but I did learn a new skill; how to put in an invisible zip. I have put zips in before but not invisible ones and I was quite pleased with how "invisible" it ended up!
I did have a panic when I had nearly finished and held the skirt up against me...it looked like it was going to be far too small! Luckily when I tried it on it was a perfect fit...especially as I am now loosing weight.. With a few more pounds off it will be even better.
Last thing to show you tomorrow I hope!

More Craft Cabin Crochet!
It's coming along. I had quite a few squares to do this month so over the last few evenings I have knuckled down and got on with them. I showed you my six so here are Burnice's choice of six, executed in my oh-so-subtle colours!
Some look a bit misshapen but I'm sure that when they are all sewn together they will be fine!!
Now Linda's choice; some of these caused me issues I can tell you, but finally they are done!
So that is 36 done now! Here they are all together.....only another 64 to go! I'm still liking the colours.....
Which is your favourite square?

New crochet project.
New year, new project needed! Each month, Burnice, Linda and I meet in Burnices'cabin to craft. We do a variety of things but this year I suggested that we stick to one, build it up a month at a time, type project. So we have decided to crochet a few blocks each month from this book.
We have each chosen five colours of yarn. These are mine; cranberry, wine, hot pink, gold and orange. Very bright but I hope they will make a cheerful throw eventually.
Then we chose six granny squares each to do. These are my six....
Now I have to crochet Burnices' six and Lindas' six! I will shoe you them as I finish each six.
