I managed to keep up with my Stitch-a-day challenge for the month of January,
stitching a minimum of one leaf a day onto the tree.
I added hearts to my wheel of life to celebrate the beginning of February.
I have a pocket calendar where I write down what things I work on each day.
The whole piece is rather large and I am not sure how the bottom will tie into the top part, but I am having fun just winging it. It's going to be a whimsical piece I think. I am still enjoying working on it every day.
Here's one closeup shot:
We had a sleet storm last week. I know this looks like snow but it was actually several inches of sleet.
It kept us housebound for three days. I did not mind this at all!
These are our dogs' footprints in the frozen ice, from during the storm.
The sleet actually became a lot deeper and then froze solid.
Being iced in made it easy to make this very last stitch on a blanket:
The pattern is called "Christmas in July" by Bebeblanket.
How fitting that we could take this photo with the wintery background on the day I finished it!
Laid out on a queen sized bed:
A closeup picture:
This is the first mosaic crocheted blanket that I've ever made.
I love how it turned out.
Totally off-topic is this:
My husband found it set out at the side of the street near us. Someone has tossed it out as garbage.
We are a musical family with way too many stringed instruments and he could not resist picking up the poor little thing. It will probably become wall art, but at least it has a home that loves it again.
That's it for today! Happy crafting ya'll!
