Monday Makes

Hello,
 How was everyone's weekend? I didn't do much of anything. My little one had the flu, started Thursday evening. It was awful, one of those where you end up washing all the linens in the house by the time it has gone. So I left work early Friday to tend to her and ended up getting a lot of crochet time in this weekend. I never got the flu, but I didn't feel that great either. It was nice to sit with my snuggly daughter and make things.
 The first thing I made is a prototype of something I am making for the nursery where I work.
Autumn wants this one to hang in her room. Fine with me. You make 6 of these and turn it into a mobile. The magazine has patterns for 9 little animals that fit in the baskets. I haven't made any of them yet. The magazine is the February edition of Crochet World Magazine.  Their web site is Crochet-World.com
 Then, like thousands of other Lucy fans, I made this Happy Flower Decoration. The pattern is here. This was a lot of fun to make. I stuck to the pattern for most of it. I put my own flowers on the bottom though.

 Lucy posted this pattern and within hours these were popping up on Ravelry. I have to wonder what it feels like to have people rushing to make your patterns.
 I am almost finished with another blanket too. I know, I am a woman obsessed. I am bound and determined to use up the rest of the stash ( I was determined to use it up on the Happy Ripple, but still have some) I have around here. Then I can go yarn shopping again. Wait, I think I said I wasn't going to randomly buy yarn anymore, only for specified projects. Lol. Anyway, I will do the ta dah on Wednesday for that one. I will also post tomorrow for Tuesday's Tallies. I will talk to everyone first thing tomorrow.

    1. I liked the multi-colored leaves too, but it would look funny in my house. I love to yarn shop too, but put myself on a yarn diet when the yarn threatened to take over my house. Lol.

  2. Ok I have tried to keep myself from making Lucy's pattern but I guess I will jump on the bandwagon too LOL. I love the dolls in the balloon we also have several of those being collected LOL. I am still looking for the frog :)

    1. The little frogs are everywhere here. All the kids at the nursery school where I work seem to have gotten happy meals this last weekend. The flower is fun. The longest part to do is the glue stage.
