Baby Lisa Blanket -- Tah Dah!
Hello Friends...I'm finally finished the baby blanket I've been working on for some time. Border done, ends weaved in, photos taken and pattern published. I'm really pleased with the overall result. My sister-in-law chose the colour combination...I'm loving the gray! I'm calling it the "Baby Lisa Blanket" - take a look:

Circle in Square Pillow
Hello Friends...
Some of you may remember awhile back I had started this pretty little pillow project: http://moderngracedesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-life-to-old-project.html. Well, I finally finished it the other week, and was waiting for sunny weather to take some pictures. The weather never seems to cooperate when I need to do a 'photo shoot'!
I made an envelope cushion cover out of some old drapes and hand stitched the crochet front to the front of the cushion. This was my first time sewing a cushion cover from scratch...I must say, it was super easy, and I was quite pleased with the results.
To finish off, I did a simple little shell stitch along the edging. On the back, I added a cute slip and chain stitch to create a frilly little delicate edging. What do you think?

Crochet Art
Hello Friends...
Just wanted to share some crochet projects that I'd turned into wall art this past year. It really couldn't be easier! All you need is your motif...I think flowers are great, a hot glue gun, artist canvas and/or a shadow box.

This was my own improvised motif...I made this one awhile back and unfortunately did not record the pattern, otherwise I'd share it. I used some craft acrylic paint in a cream colour and brushed on two coats before hot gluing my flower to the canvas. Needless to say, allow paint to dry before gluing your motif.
These flowers are Motif #41 from Edie Eckman's "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs" book...I joined them into a doily like design and then glued them to the painted canvas. You could also cover your canvas with your choice of fabric and then glue your design.
This particular flower is Motif #1 from Edie Eckman's "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs" book. Here I simply glued the motif to some card stock and framed it up in this shadow box from Ikea....gotta love Ikea!
New Life to an Old Project
Hello Friends...
Do ever get really excited about a new idea or project and then once you get into it, you find it's not turning out how you'd imagined it in your mind?
Well, a couple of months back, I'd started a simple project, what was to be a table runner, with some yarn that I had kicking around. The pattern, a simple circle in a square design. All along the way, I was not happy with the way things were going...I love the design, but the colours were just not working well together as a table runner. BUT, as a pillow cover, yes!! Although not finished yet, I've managed to breathe new life into an old idea. Have a look so far...I'm kinda liking the retro feel of it:

Have you ever changed course with a projcet idea? I'd love to hear about it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
