What You Doing Wednesday Week 58

Good Morning Everyone.

I hope your week is going well.

Winter is back in the North West of England.

We are back to Cold Winds and Rain :-(

It was nice to see the sunshine and I hope it comes back again soon.

I'm afraid I haven't got any further on

my tunisian crochet multi garment

or my blanket.

I'll hopefully have some more made in the next couple of weeks.

I have however started a few new projects:

This is going to be an angry birds hat

for my brother-in-law.

It's his 40th so I'm making it as a little

extra birthday present.

Cascading Beads Shawl:

I just love the way the shawl is looking.

It's the first time I have ever crocheted with beads and I am loving it.

The detail it gives the project and the way it moves is fantastic.

I have chosen a lace yarn that is white with a black strand running through it.

With the black and pearl beads I think it is going to look fantastic.

Here is the pattern finished:

Isn't it beautiful.

 

It will probably take a few weeks to finish it but once it is

I'll be sure to let you see the finished shawl.

I am still reading:

The Vampire Manifesto (Vampire Manifesto Book One) by Rashaad Bell

Kindle:

   

I am enjoying the book and the different 

ideas it uses in the story.

I'm not sure if there are too many things used

but I will see how the story progresses. 

Vampires, Pandora's box, parallel universes & different forms and types

of immortals.

I'll let you know as I read more.

Craftsy have some new classes:

 

May 15th

Kenneth King: The Carefree Fly-Front Coat (Sewing)
Elisa Strauss - Sculpted Dog Cake (Cake Decorating)
Nancy Smith - Strip Your Stash (Quilting)

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

Fo Friday 4/11/11

It's FO Friday again :-)

I haven't been very busy this week as I've been trying to get the house sorted.  It's my husbands 40th birthday party this weekend.  I need to rest so I have managed to get some done.

I made 2 Mad Blue Bird Hats.  I wasn't sure which blue to make it in so I made a light blue one:

and a dark blue one:

I am having a table at my sons Christmas Fair.  I wanted to make something small so I decided to make some phone charms/ornaments.  I made a start on my first few.

I used the following free pattern:

http://www.kundhi.com/blog/2010/01/22/tiny-crochet-heart-pattern/

Very easy pattern to follow.

I have also found on the same site a pattern for a four leaf clover.  This pattern is also easy to follow and easy to make.  I would highly recommend her patterns!

I hope you are all having a good Friday!
