I am a 40-something housewife that loves to make my home a cheerful place for my husband and myself. I love working each day on my handwork and inspiring others to unlock their creative muses.
I have a blog where I write about my handwork and one in which I write about the changing seasons and things around my home and garden. Please stop by and visit me. While there, don't forget to leave a comment. I love hearing from you!
I want to thank everyone who has honored me with an award or tag. I have decided to make my blog an award free zone as I find it difficult to pick and choose myself among the blogs I love. I think every blog is great in its own way.
Here is the latest progress on granny squares afghan my mother is making for me. She was originally planning on sending me a few squares at a time and some yarn for me to sew them together. She has now decided to crochet them together herself instead. She is talking about adding a scalloped edge to it after all the squares are together. It is fun watching this take shape through the photos. I love it.
There was a comment that it looks like my mother collects sheep when I posted the first photo. Yes, she does. She buys the most incredible wool here from a lady with sheep on her farm here in Holland and has started collecting sheep. I think she needs a real one in the yard to 'mow' her grass for her, don't you?
Your afghan is so pretty Heidi, and it looks so soft. What a treasure this will be made by your mother! Hey, maybe you can send her a sheep for Mother's Day!
Heidi, I love how this is starting to come together. Lucky you to have your mom do this for you. You've set me off wanting to do some grannies but I'm not sure how many more crafts I can handle! Hugs, Margaret
What a beautiful afghan and such a lovely present from your mom! My first afghan ever was granny squares in a very ugly, brown, orange and yellow combination!! Surely a product of the '70's!! Enjoy yours!!!
