Hexi-Blanket Progression

What a week!  I don't think time can go by any faster, and especially the weekend.  Seems like you turn around and it's Sunday evening.

I have made some progression on my hexi-blanket.  Actually it is getting close to finished size believe it or not!

Miss Phoebe loves Sundays out on the porch.  I relax just looking at her.  I was taking pictures of the hexi, and she came and posed right in front of me, which is rare.

I have a little pile of finished hexis waiting on me to attach.  I think I will add to them before I do.  All the items on my to do list are finished, so I think it's time to sit back with my hook and crochet some more hexi-grannies.  Before you know it Monday will be here!

Lastly, I must share a little pic of Phoebe...we enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding so much together.  I couldn't help myself!!  Doesn't she look like a little fashion plate!  I have been calling her, "Lady Phoebe of Burguss Court"!

Crocheted Ornaments

I don't quite know what to call these little ornaments. They aren't really snowflakes...kinda a cross between a snowflake and a granny square! Aren't they fun. I came up with these this past weekend. I had other things I could have worked on, but I was bored, and the idea for these ornaments has been lurking in my head for a little while now. I used embroidery floss and a small crochet hook for these. They look great on a Christmas tree. I like them in Christmas colors but would also like to try them in some jewel tone colors and maybe add some beads.


These are actually double sided, meaning the ornament is actually two grannies crocheted together, so it has a neat weight to it. I especially like the octagon-shaped ornament.




With Christmas coming soon I can't seem to focus, I have so many projects I want to get done in time for Christmas! Scarves to make, ornaments, and a couple other little goodies. Let's hope the long Thanksgiving weekend will give some time to do some of these things!
