Finally Granny Square Number 10...or is it 11??



Granny # 10 or 11


this one is really cute don't you think?? It took a while to finish longer than others and was a little complicated when it got the the last two rounds, but over all pretty good




I have been creating up a storm!!! I have a painting in the works...finished another, 2 ceramic pet bowls, a new japanese print book, and a new addition to the tattoo ceramics!! Lucky for yall I have been documenting with pictures!! Expect many posts in the days to come...here is a sneak peak at a new painting

3 reasons why I haven't posted granny # 10

Reason # 1

granny number 10 is ridiculous and not a true grann square, it does not crochet around the edges but diagonally...and it is not cute and hard!! So I have expelled it from the count down and I am working on # 11


Reason #2

my fiance and I made a frivilous purchase....we bought a Wii and it is really fun!!


Reason #3

I was making this!! for my new sister in law to be!!

it is 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas,
it is called "All in the Family"
the pics turned out a little darker than it is in person, it is also coated with many THICK layers or varnish
What do yall think?

Granny Square # 5

Granny #6


this next square is soo cute I think! It is a butterfly!! The square was easy but I had to do the wings twice

Granny #7


I absolutely love this one, It was a Christmas wreath pattern and I just changed the colors it turned out so cute. The wreath poofs up for added dimension

Granny Number 4

this one was a tricky little booger, I had to do the flower three times until I understood the patter, the flower puffs out a bit and that made it tricky, but all in all I like the finished product it looks very neat and precise to me!!

Granny Square Number 2
this one turned out really cute I thing and it was fairly easy, I like the squares where the design in the middle is actually part of the square not just sewed on, I think thats kind of cheating!!

Crocheting up a Storm!!




Well I've caught the crocheting bug again and I decided to make a granny square afghan for my sister's birthday...it's not until October but I guess it's best to start early. I went to the craft store yesterday and bought way too much yarn and a crochet book called 101 Granny squares. I decided to make all 101 square except a Santa Clause face one because....well it's just stupid. So from this day forward Iwill be posting a granny sqaure a day!! for 100 days!!!
this is what happeneds when I try to pay attention to something other than him
notice the toy that he has dropped in the middle of my photo, it says chill pill
the blanket, it's one big granny square around the rim I am going to attach all the other small grannies that I have made


a few grannies that I got patterns for off the internet, I really like the first daisy one, I made two of them!!
the book
the yarn
Number 1
Pretty Pansy Granny
this one was pretty easy, I was unsure whether I was following the pattern right then I got to the light purple, but it all worked out. The flower is just stitched on the square not crochet in a round.
If you are interested in the patterns just comment and I'll post
Thanks
