Crochet Rug

Love how this crochet rug turned out.  Once again it took me ages to find a rug suitable for a boy but really loved this one as soon as I saw it.   As I am only learning to crochet I want to keep doing something new so I am learning new stitches and I get a lot of help from You Tube.  A wonderful learning tool.  The pattern was a free one and is called Park Slope Afghan.  It was a huge job putting it together and I did a Crab Stitch around the edge as I felt it needed something to finish it off.  It is a great feeling when a project is finished.

Jogger Bags......

I love making these bags from Disorderly Threads  Although I thought they would be a bit bigger as I bought the biggest design as I now have the large hoop.    I used the shinny vinyl for the shoe and found it very easy to work with.  I made these bags for my two youngest grandsons Thomas and Cooper.   I keep  thinking I will run out of things to make now the boys are getting older but I always manage to find something.  I am also practicing a bit of Photoshop as well using the Sparkler overlays.

Easter T Shirts........

 Once again time to make Easter T Shirts for my Grandsons.  This year I am only making one as my other four grandsons are getting a bit old to wear a T Shirt that Grandma made.  I made Cooper two shirts and I  liked  the " dare to stand out " one from Julia Designs ( it is not really an Easter Design) but it did have a chicken in the design.   The other design I got from here.  Both stitched out beautifully.
