I've Made Friday Week 52


Good Morning Everyone.
I hope you are all having a good week
and are looking forward to the weekend.

Little Red & hubby are off at the moment
but I'll tell you more about that when everything is back to normal.

I decided to make a couple of things
for Easter.


I made a little Easter Egg garland
using a free pattern from Lacy Crochet.
and joining them with a chain.

A little Lamb
Using the free spring squishies pattern
by Josephine Wu
This is a free download from Ravelry
and you get the patterns for a chick, duck, lamb & rabbit:
This was a fantastic and easy pattern to follow.
I think they are also just soooo cute!

I loved following this free pattern
from Lani Herschensohn

 
Each eggshell has a top and bottom and in each is a chick
I made quite a few in different colours

Then I made up a basket for them to fit in.

But if you've got the eggs and you've got the basket
you need a chicken to sit on them:
The chicken isn't as pretty as the pattern
that I followed but I just wanted a hollow
chicken that the egg could fit in.
This is the free cosy set:
I changed the legs and didn't make the egg cosy inside them
as I was making it for Little Red to Play with.

Wow isn't this sheep hat fantastic!
and it's a free pattern as well
I loved the way she uses a treble crochet with a sc to make the bobbly effect.
I loved making this hat!

I also made a broach for me.
I purchased this pattern
It's for a poppy hat but I have just made the poppy itself
Poppy Flower Girls Hat  age 0-3 & 3-6 months 6 -12 1 -3 years crochet Pattern
I love the effect of the big poppy.
It makes a real statement.

Little Red asked if I could make him a scarf to match
his Turtle hat.
and you know I can't resist
making things for Little Red.

As you know I have been following the Online Tunisian Crochet Class
at Craftsy
This is the first washcloth I made

In the next part of the course you learn how to use 3 colours:
I haven't block it yet but I think you'll agree it's very effective.
I just couldn't believe how easy it was to work with 3 colours.
Infact it was easier using the 3 colours than using one.

I listened to:

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

This is a free audio book from Books Should Be Free
(you can listen online, download the audio or the book itself)

Wow I loved this book!
The author also wrote The Secret Garden.
The book is based around a young girl called Sara.
At 7 years old she is brought to London from India by her father.
She is brought to Miss Minchin’s London school
where she has her own bedroom and sitting room
and has a blessed life due to her fathers riches.
Her father was devoted to her and has left her there 
reluctantly as he knows she needs schooling.
During her time in school she is a perfect pupil.
Then her father dies penniless. Things take a drastic turn
and Miss Minchin keeps her as a slave and works her to the bone.
For the rest of the story you'll have to read the book ;-)
Sara it such a beautiful child in looks and in her heart.
It's a very touching innocent story that is written beautifully!
I would give this book 5 out of 5

Now it's your turn
It doesn't have to be crocheting
anything you've made is more than welcome!
Please try and visit at least 2 other sites
to see what other people have been making.
Can you also put the pin and link to this page
so that we can get more people joining in.
Thanks!

I've Made Friday Week 2 30th March 2012

Welcome to our 2nd week
of I've Made Friday




Photobucket

Well my brain has been working a bit better than it
has been lately.
Still not near 50% but better.

It's been a tough week this week.
I had to go for some nerve tests.
I was nervous and this isn't good for CFS
I have been up most nights with a lot of pain
and my nasal infection is back worse than ever.
Oh well now the tests are out the way
we can only get better (hopefully)

Anyway I've kept you in suspense long enough.
The first hat that I showed you a small part of is:


A Chick hat.
I designed this myself as a celebration of spring
It can be made with or without the flower.


The other hat is:

A Dragon Hat
It is slightly based on a game character.
Please if you guess which one do not say the full name
use *'s to complete the name.

The character is my sons favorite out of the game.
It isn't that cold today but he has still worn it to school.

I finished a book:

I can honestly say I struggled to finish this book!

I like a good murder but the details of these murders went too far for me.
If you like blood guts and gore then this book is for you.
The idea behind the story is good and the story itself isn't bad
but I found there were too many broken characters.
I know everyone takes baggage with them but the characters in this just had too much.
I normally love Lee Weeks books but this one just didn't do it for me.

Have you read this book?
What did you think?

I hope you liked my FOs this week!
Join in and look at some other FOs
don't forget to link to anything you've made this week:

Thursday Homemade Love Week 2

Good Morning everyone


This week is a good week.
I have my birthday
I got some beautiful things
including books and yarn!
I was really tired as people were visiting to wish me a happy birthday
but I did manage to design a hat.
This is the first hat I've designed since my big crash.
I'm really excited about being able to design again
even if it is taking me 3 days to do one hat instead of one afternoon.

As I designed a chick hat
and it's nearly easter
I thought I would do chicks as this weeks homemade love theme
