Take 5: Car Trip Crafts

With summer quickly coming to an end, sis and I are trying to get in the last of our road trips for the season.

The dessert is our next destination. Since we're gonna be on the road for 5 hours (each way), I've been collecting ideas (via Pinterest, of course!) on how to keep my hands busy with something creative and pretty.

Top 5 (so far) are:

1. Crochet Bunting
     no tutorial on this one, but it looks like a series of increasing dc's.

2. Spool Strip Tease Embroidery by maximumrabbitdesign
     the name makes me giggle!

3. Hexagon Embroidery by ladyface
     really liking the clean lines and use of color.

4. Fox Embroidery on goodsmiths
     all over the place right now!

5. Granny Squares by Sarah London

     So convenient since they can be made individually and then put together later.

     Perfect for blankets, afghans, edging on table cloths, pillows, stool covers, etc



 

Happy Monday! Hope the beginning of the week is a good one for you guys.

I've had an busy last couple of days and woke up TIRED this morning. Let's just say that the coffee maker and I are sharing a strong kinship today.

Wanted to share Sarah London's great blog! She has FREE granny square patterns every Monday. It's my perfect way to start out the week! Crochet Talk is perfect for any crochet-er. She goes over the different components of crochet; ie stitches, terminology, etc.

Check out the darling crown she made to commemorate the birth of Prince George Alexander Louis!
Adorable!



Her Square for this week:

Hope you're inspired!
