Yarn Along

I have a couple of little projects on the hook, stowed away in preparation for Christmas and birthday gifts.  The basket is starting to bulge in the craft room so an alternative storage place needs to be found.  Gone are the days when I have to keep everything hidden from prying eyes.

 

In particular this week I have been working on another baby blanket.  I am quite pleased with the end result and love the vibrancy of the yellow mixed in with a more pastel shade and white..

 

 

The border is quite enchanting with bobbles.

 

 

I have stitched on a wooden handmade button in the same shade of yellow which gives it quite a professional look.

 

 

Using a scrap of the pastel lemon yarn I also made a duck wrist rattle, filled with love.

 

 

Matching up beautifully with the ripple blanket from last week, not forgetting the penguin.

 

 

 

I am reading a true story The Step Child by Donna Ford, another savagely honest memoir of a child's abuse at the hands of her stepmother.  Heart rendering...

 

 

 

I am once again joining Ginny over at Small Things for the weekly yarn along.

 

See you soon.
