I’ve crocheted for over 36yrs. I am self-taught. I learned from watching my mom when I was very young. Whenever she would sit to crochet, I would sit on the floor next to her chair and watch. When I was in the 5th grade she gave me one of her size J hooks and some yarn. I sat done with a book and began to learn. My first project was a granny square afghan for my Grandma.
Joining Kathy and the all the wonderful stitchn’ lovelies today for:
Today I’m back working to stitching the Winter Queen. I had took some time off while waiting for the Q-Snap I ordered to arrive. Like I mention before I’m in a place where I need to expand and I didn’t want to trap my stitches in the edges of my hoop. Never really liked doing that. I was hoping that the Q-Snap frame would work better on this larger project. So I ordered the 11×17 frame along with some extenders.
Hope everybody in the States had a wonderful 4th. Looking forward to some stitching today. I hope make more progress on my continuing project Winter Queen.
I don’t do a lot of formal table settings. Mostly casual around here, July 4th will be no different.
I use tablecloths a lot, even when the table is not set. Most because of the dust. It’s a terrible problem here in Colorado. I have a farmhouse like table that is painted black. (I totally love black.) It came with a leaf that expands it into a square. I’ve had this table for many years and I still love it. My dining area is small, so I use benches for seating mostly for that reason. Regardless of space I am planning to add a chairs to the mix. I love the mismatched look and have collected a few. Now I just need to commit on a fabric choice.
Finally got some time to get my post up. Friday night I worked on making some design boards. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I idea of the design boards come from Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet.
