Wood Burning Fun!

 

Hello again friends and followers!

I have had this cabinet door sitting for over a year with this image penciled onto it, so that one day I would wood burn it into the door. I have no project in mind for it, I just wanted to do it for fun. And to play around with my new wood burning kit.

 I wood burned a squirrel image onto a piece of pine I believe in the 6th grade. I tried again for a camp site sign for my husband and I. It turned out really good, I will have to find it and post a picture if I haven’t already. 

So this would be my 3rd project with trying wood burning.  It was fun and definitely kept me busy after work and on weekends when I wasn’t doing chores or playing with my pets.

May Crochet Flower of the Month - Lily of the Valley

 

Hello friends and followers! 

Today I want to share the May flower of the month that I hand crocheted, it is the Lily of the Valley. I stuck to my theme of using cotton yarn which is not the ideal weight used for this particular flower, but it is all in fun and for practice to challenge myself once a month to pick up my hooks and yarn! 

This pattern I found free, on Pinterest. 

Crochet April Flower of the Month - The Daisy

 

As some of you may know I am challenging myself to Crochet a flower representing each month this year.  April flower is the Daisy!

Here she is the quickly made Daisy. I found this quick little pattern on Pinterest. It didn’t have a leaf pattern to go with it, so I searched for Daisy leaves and found a free one to try, shown here. 

Want to try the leaf pattern it can be found here

Below are March and April Crochet Flowers the Daffodil and the Daisy. 

Crochet March Flower of the Month - The Daffodil

 

Here’s this months flower for my Crochet Flower of the month challenge.  I didnt have any problem finding many patterns for a daffodil but when I tried to work them up I kept running into issues, pages from the pattern missing, or the stitches just weren’t coming out right no matter how many attempts I had made.

 I finally decided I could make this flower with no pattern, just wing it as I go. I started with a magic circle in white. 

It was pretty easy to recreate what I think a daffodil may look like. I am so proud that I have completed the first quarter of this years flower challenge! 

Crochet Bunny Take 2

 

My second attempt turned out much closer to the pattern at https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/amigurumi-bunny-7 this is a free pattern! 

Crochet Rabbit

 

Hey friends and followers!

I have not been keeping up with my Crochet a Yearly Bunny challenge and I thought it was time to give it a go again, so here we are showcasing this adorable pattern written by Anat Tzac she has called her pattern Rabbit, you can find her pattern at
