What You Doing Wednesday Week 51


I hope you are all having a good week.
Little Red and hubby are off this week
so we are having some family time :-)

I'm afraid my Fox & baby love bug hat are still on the to do list.


I have also start a new baby bonnet

 I've made a few other things but they are all finished so you'll have to wait till Friday ;-)

This week I am listening to:

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

This is another free book on

Frances Hodgson Burnett also wrote The Secret Garden.
Such a fantastic write!
I am loving this book.
The gist of the story is a young girl
gets brought to a school in London by her
father. He works in India and has brought her to be educated in England.
Her mother had died and she doesn't have anyone else in the world
except her father.
It's a beautiful story and I'll tell you more on Friday.

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.
It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making
is perfect.

Crochet Embellishments Craftsy Course

Craftsy Logo



I looooove Linda being the instructor of this course.
She makes you smile. You makes you feel it's ok to be human
and her hints and tips make things really easy to follow and do.

I'm not doing the course in the lesson plan order.
I decided I would pick my favorite bits first.

The lesson I chose was Flower-Embellished Cardigan.
Linda teaches you everything from the basics so it's ideal for a beginner.
You get written and diagram instructions as well
as the video course.
You receive patterns for 6 different flowers.
 


As you can see Linda also shows you how to pin the 
flowers to make them look like different shapes.
Linda also talks you through using different colours
in the flowers. 
Linda uses different colours but I decided to go for a red theme.

One of the things she shows you is how to create a pin with your flower.

Here is mine.

And now for the cardigan.
The cardigan I used is quite old and looking a little tired.
Linda talks you through everything from positioning your flowers
right through how to attach them.
And here is my finished cardigan:




I have saved the other flowers and I'm going to dress up a few t-shirts as well :-)

This is a really easy course to follow
and Linda makes it lots of fun.
Keep a look out because there are more projects for the course to come.
