Victorian Dream Square

Victorian Dream Square
This is, by far, my most favorite of the granny squares I did for Miss J's blanket.  You can find the pattern here.  If I hadn't started with other squares, I would have probably done the whole blanket with this particular square.  I believe I added a couple of rounds to match the size of the other squares.


More to come.

Have a most fabulous day.

Poop Happens

So as things tend to be, poop happens.  I've been busily crocheting and knitting, sewing, gardening, cooking, canning and tending to all things family. So much so I have neglected my blogging. Bad me.  Lots of things have gone on over the 9 months. I finished the first blanket I had posted about (I will catch up on pics another time) and also completed another blanket for my step-daughter.  Mr B built beds for the girls and I made them duvet covers and a Roman shade for their window to replace the mini-blinds one of cats decided to amend, plus we repainted their room.

Recently I was commissioned to make 20 scarves for an upcoming Christmas dance recital. The children are dressing up like snowmen (think a recent Disney movie) for their routine, though for this dance their costumes are more reminiscent of dear ol' Frosty.   They are going to be adorable.  I have several other projects in the works as well, gifts and for sale.

I've made myself a logo. My dad would be so proud. :-) He was the artist of the family, though both my brothers have a knack for drawing.  I, on the other hand, didn't get into it much though I do understand the various elements.  My grandfather was a fabulous artist as well as my eldest daughter. For someone who hasn't attempted to draw anything for years (outside of doodling), I'm right proud of it.  If I'm going to get serious about a business, gotta do it right.  I'm sure I will need to adjust it somewhat, but for the time being, it is just right.  I'll adjust my heading of the blog a little later after I make some labels for the scarves mentioned above and of course pictures. :D

I hope you have a most fabulous day.
