Wooden spoon ..

pincushion..

This chipped wooden spoon has been in my  kitchen cupboard for awhile,

few times I thought of throwing it way but I did not. While browsing through Pinterest recently it gave me an idea ( actually many ideas). So here it is turned into this pincushion.

I used my naturally dyed fabric to make the egg shaped case and, used stuffing and rice to fill it. for the embellishments; jute ribbon, few crochet flowers and old lace.

 I spent most of the saturday morning doing this project so I could take few pictures before sun went away. (still could not get better ones) I am quite pleased with my effort.

A new crochet flower for my winter coat.

 Icicles and snow this week...brrrrrrrrrrr

Thank you for stopping by,

These snowy days..

Bit of crocheting for a small project in mind. There was enough sunshine on saturday to get a clear picture.

Still working on weaving tail ends of the flower blocks. There are so many of them.

Beginning of a small sewing project for the winter, using remnants from the fabric box.

would like a cup of tea ?

Thank you stopping by for a peek,

Another woven piece..

Adding few rows each day, I finished this piece little sooner than I thought. 

This time, I did not weave the ends in, rather let it hang on the side for a different look.  It does blend in with the other pieces I have done. They are all displayed on my living room wall. I could not get a clear picture to show you, due to the gloomy/fogy weather we have been having.

There is more ugly yarn ( I don' know that is the right word) to start on something new.

Thank you for stopping by for peek,

Blue n' Orange..

waves..

My first completed project (crochet) for this year. The pattern was easy to follow, so it was a fast make. I would have liked if there was sufficient yarn to go over two rounds, but I had to stop at one. I have already worn it couple of times now.

total cost for the yarn : $4 (from the thrift store)

Weaving.. another small project with various textured yarn that was not used for any crocheting or knitting.

Ripples of hope blanket..

I finally finished it. The blanket measures approx. 65 inches x 36 inches. Another one of my thrift-ed yarn makes.

Just what I need for the sofa...

Blooms of Spring;
A new project for the winter. I found this crochet book the thrift store for $1.(retail price is $25) It has many techniques, ideas and stitch patterns. I thought I will try this flower motif.

Over the last few months,I have manged to collect quite a number of different coloured yarn from the thrift stores. And, this would be a good project for use them.

Thank you for stopping by,

till next post,
