A Happy Ripple

Progress this week has been good… despite a trapped nerve!  I have started the ripple afghan by Lucy over at Attic 24, which I am making for a friend at work who has just been made redundant… that bit sucks!

I have chosen happy colours, so that she can snuggle under a rainbow and remember that she will be missed greatly, but also that their is a bright future ahead of her.  So with out any further ado here is the proof of my progress!

So, here goes…my list of projects for

a year of projects July 2014 – June 2015.

If you would like to join along take a look  Here

some of my stash!

This will be my first year, of setting myself some crafty goals, infact my first year of blogging, so I’m hoping I will figure this all out as I go along!

 

The idea is a weekly update of my progress or possible lack of it, depending on how I go…. please feel free to leave me comments to encourage me or send me a friendly push along if need be!

 

I’m thinking this list may well grow, but I am trying to keep it small and achievable as I’m a virgin blogger.

So here is my list…

 

  • ripple afghan

  • scrapghan (technically already started…but I would like to work alot more on this and maybe even finish it!)

  • tea cosy or 2

  • summer scarf

  • hook holder

  • a crochet wall hanging

  • charity SIBOL blankets (Sunshine International Blankets Of Love) charity for the elderly… have a look at SIBOL

  • headbands for Bowdazzling (charity for young girls undergoing chemotherapy)

  • x10 yarnbombs in my local community

  • poppies

  • purse

  • hot water bottle cover

  • fabric buttons

  • bunting

tree house rules... "there aint no rules, there never was none, there aint never gonna be none"!!

  • broomstick crochet photo tutorial

this is one of the first blankets I ever made… and I’d love to do a

tutorial… (but I feel a little daunted by the process!)

 

So there it is… what do you think? A little short? It is I think … but I have a feeling that this list may well grow, and I like that it has growing room, because I’m pretty sure that this list will be as long as the yardage in my stash before too long. xx
