my creative space...a bit more crochet

Morning all....just a quick one today.  Once upon a very long time ago, in a crocheting world far, far away, I started a ripple blanket for the first born. I am pleased to tell you that it was delivered at Christmas time, and here it is living in its new home...just between you, me and the gatepost, I quite like it!
I missed the whole rippling thing, so I started on a cushion. And here it is, still incomplete, but resting nicely in my new/old indian parat from Lived In Coogee. Vanessa was brilliant. I saw on Facebook that she had some new parats in stock but they weren't in the online store, so she took some photos of what she had, emailed me and hey presto a few days later it was here! So happy with it.
To see a multitude of creative types, head this way...and I'll see you next week. Thanks heaps for this one. I might do some more crochet...or perhaps I'll just read a book  J

  8. You are such a clever lady I only wish I knew where you found the time with your incredibly busy life to do these very clever and wonderful things!
    Like A-M I don't think you need to finish the cushion, though, it will be beautiful when you do!
    I must say that the throw takes me back to my youth when my Grandmother made one using squares for me!!! xx

  22. You're very talented. If I could crochet, yet alone ripple, I'd be crocheting everything! It must be relaxing and a good way to let the sub-conscious tick over.

  24. Hmm...seems you mistakenly gave MY ripple throw blanket to your gorgeous daughter!! It looks wonderful in its new home:) Love, love, love your new parat and that ripple cushion...I just may have to give this ripple crochet a go...if I ever get 5 seconds to myself again! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead dear Kerry ~ xx
