Crocheting and Doodling...

Thanks so much for all the crochet love. I have TWO pillowcases completed and can't wait to start another one.  I'm not sure what I am going to do with these pillowcases, but for now I am content to look at them. Many of you asked for the low-down on how to put the crochet edging on the cases. I am giving some thought to a little pillowcase-crochet-along.  I even have a sidebar button made for the event! Thimbleanna and Brigette are spurring me on.  I want to make sure that Beata doesn't mind first, though. I openly admit to being a copycat of her lovely lovelies. My fingers are crossed that all will work out.  Stay tuned...

On a different note, spring can come any time now.  The winter doodle is done.

 

I couldn't resist adding a little bit of spring around the outer edge.  It was either that or big blobs of dirty slush. What can I say?  I try to embrace winter, but I think it sucks am fueled by sunshine.  I can't wait for the sun to return. Oh, Mr. Sunshine, how I love you! Please come back and restore my good humor because I am tempted to use words like 'suck' (gasp!) when you are away.

I hope the sun is shining in your corner of the world.

Take care...

Yipee!!!! I can't wait for the pillowcasealong! I need to get some fabric. (Stop laughing -- I know I have a room FULL of fabric, but it's not really what I want for pillowcases.) I'm going to be ready. You'll have to give us the warning shot, so we can get our supplies organized and be ready to ruuuuummmmmbbbbbbllllleeeee!!!!!

The winter doodle is ADORABLE!!! Love that little bunny!!! Do you have a plan for them???

Your embroidery is so lovely! Our weather is also less than desirable (read: sucks) so I've been trying to distract myself with projects and practicing embroidery stitches has been one of them. I can only hope that one day my stitches are as lovely as those on your Winter doodle.

Now I better get to work practicing my crochet skills, so I can participate in the making of lovely pillowcase edging!

I'm in for a pillowcase-crochet-along, even though I need another craft skill like a hole in the head. Oh well, that's never stopped me before.

Yes, I can understand that you have contacted Beata first, because it was her wonderful photos that got us all going. I too have found out how it works in the meantime! And I am looking forward to your tutorial in case you have found a better way than me.! Wishing you a wonderful time and greetings from Germany!

That would be so fun! I, too, have figured it out, but would love a crochet along, and to see how you're doing it. ;)

I love your winter doodle and also wonder what you have planned for it.

The crocheted-edge pillowcases are wonderful. I don't know how to crochet, but if I did I would gladly join a crochet-along :).

Totally with you on the crocheted pillow case edging. Ready to go.

YES to the pillowcase crochet-along!!
The winter doodle is lovely. The touch of spring around the outside is nice. I always love looking at your work.

Hi there....really enjoy your blog. I was wondering if you could share the stitch you did around the circle in the blue floss. It's lovely, as is all your work :)

I am fueled by sunshine too! I *think* I would like to pillowcase crochet-along, but .... I have only crocheted a very little and would need another lesson or many lessons.

LOVE your embroidery piece. I also admire your ethics. Thanks for checking with Beta before doing this. She is actually the one who directed me to you. I love it that crafty people can share their ideas.
