My creative space...

I am aware that this has to be the ugliest material of all time but for $2 a metre I could not walk past it!  Especially since the almost 7 year old is planning a bowling party for his birthday next month.  It's been perfect for some handmade lolly bags!

Oh, and if anyone is interested I finally finished my boy's granny stripe rug from last week.

My Ta-da Post - The Granny Stripe Rug

I finished this over the weekend and I love it and so does the boy!  I am pretty impressed with it if I do say so myself.  I'm loving the colours the most I think.  Nice and masculine and warm, perfect for an almost 7 year old to grow up with.  I ended up keeping the edge pretty simple with just three rounds of granny clusters in grey.

My next purchase needs to be serious camera so I can take decent photos!

One smiley boy all wrapped up and warm.

A close up of all those granny clusters and my very simple edge.



Too big?  Or just right!

Would you like to make a granny stripe?  Head on over to Lucy's for the lovely pattern.

Don't know how to crochet and want to learn?  I recommend starting with Pip!

This week I'm grateful for... winning.

I just won Morgan Will's 100th post competition!  Yay for me and this beautiful scarf that is heading my way.

Have you seen Morgan's beautiful work?  I first fell in love with her mumma and baby Bushkas she makes.  Matilda of course has one.  Pop on over to Morgan's gallery and take a look at these lovely ladies.

I do hope everyone has had a good week.  We have felt nice and normal around here this week - all routined and non-sick, no absent husbands and I went back to netball after my whole sprained ankle incident from a few weeks ago.

What are you feeling grateful for this week?

Still happily granny stripe-ing (is that even a word & if so, spelling please???) away around here.  I am on to my last set of the repeating pattern though and then we are on to the edge. Yay!  Hopefully I will be able to get it finished for the boy's 7th birthday at the end of April.

I wish I had a better camera, better lighting.  The colours are much nicer than this in real life.

More creative goodness is over this way.

Crochet pattern bargain.
