Spring Wreath

I have started making wreaths. I have finished one that my mother-law started. This one is an Easter wreath. I plan to make many more as I had a lot of fun with this one. I had to learn how to make them and I love learning new things.

If you would like to try your hand at this, there are lots great tutorials on YouTube. Hope you enjoyed this. See you soon.

Christmas Projects

Christmas Projects!!!

Christmas spirit has landed. I am working on several projects right now. I'm not sure if all of them will make on here.

Here is my wreath I finished last night. I think it turned out pretty well. I uses a YouTube tutorial by Naztazia.  I had fun making this. I used about 36 medium and large poem poems on this, but you could use more if you wanted too. It's very customizable. Here is the link for the tutorial I used:  How to make easy simple beginner yarn poem poem wreath . I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did.

I have a couple of projects coming up. I Wil be making sled ornaments and polymer clay ornaments. I will post them as I get them done.

Pineapple Doilies

For my first Pinterest project, I thought I would make these pretty pineapple doilies that are featured in Crochet-World Magazine.  You can find the pattern with this link:  http://www.crochet-world.com/newsletters-proofing.php?mode=article&article_id=1920&key=CWNL.  

Here they are before I blocked them.  This pattern is easy to understand.  If your like me, then you'll want to mark your place at the beginning of each round.  I recommend using a paper clip or a stitch marker to do this.  Pay close attention to each of your stitches so you don't miss any stitches.  

You can block these doilies using different methods.  I used the method here on this you tube video put out by Beanie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY5xlbtuN3s. You can also use liquid or spray starch to block your doilies.  Here is a link to show you how to do that:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjDoI5VXK9o.  

there are other methods for blocking your doilies, you just need to do a little research to find one that suits your needs.  Here is a picture of them after they have been blocked:

I used beanie's method for the pink one, but I used just plain water to block the blue and cream ones.  

I hope you enjoyed this post on the pineapple doilies.  Leave me a comment if you want to see a specific project.  Thanks for joining me.
