Button Flowers Video

I am sure you have all seen these cute flowers they put on shirt buttons to cheer them up! Well, I've seen them too, thought how cute and whimsical; being a crochet girl all my life, I couldn't  be indifferent, but I thought I'd skip the bandwagon.

Little did I know a friend of my daughter's is going to ask for them, so I thought why not document the process and make a video. And so I did. The video is here. 

 

This happens to be my last project shown for the year, but I have been very productive, so I cannot wait to show you what other things I've made in December!  

 

 

Merry Christmas!

 Merry Christmas dear friends! 

I hope you are having a nice, warm and cozy time with family! 

This year, my mom who is about to turn 76, decided she is no longer going to arrange her Christmas village, and divided all the houses and figurines to me and my sister.  It makes me sad to think that that joyful scene is no longer going to greet us when we visit, but all that matters to me is that mom is doing well and whatever makes her happy, makes me even happier. She hasn't lost her Christmas spirit; she just reduced the ornaments and all the hassle decorating everything around the house takes. 

This is just a pinch of what I've got, and haven't had the time to take nice pictures, because we are again blanketed in heavy fogs and dreary grey days.  

Mysterious Crochet Blanket

I don't know what's happening, but I totally freaked myself out today!

Preparing a crochet course for my business, I went searching through my archives for some photos of mine to use for the promotion, and I found photos of this completed blanket. The thing is I have no recollection of making it, but WAIT! You guys - I have the step-by-step photo tutorial made for it!! Wow! I mean WOW! Tons of progress photos, but  obviously, I never published it. 

I do had this one made as a gift, and probably I wanted to linger more on the pattern, made the green one, and most definitely wanted to publish it - but it never happened. I must have given this one as a gift as well, or donated it to church, as I do not have it at home. The pattern is so lovely and playful, I might recreate it in the future.  

Olivia - Granny Square Cardi Video

 Granny squares, but gigantic!

I couldn't help myself, and set to work on these enormous grannies to make this unique in look cardi. Named it Olivia, because of the colors obviously. Quite an eye-catcher. The video is here.
