Renee great start on the Casa. What colors are you doing it in.

 

Wendy, I'm using RH Real Teal for the main color, and RH Dusty Teal and Aran for the two contrasting colors.

[renegade]

Cara howdy, hows the love letters going.

 

Tracy that would be annoying that you leave London for that job and now they are taking it back there. Hope you can find another way to work from home, making clothes for boutiques sounds like a great idea, good luck with it.

 

I watched the Mens Semi Finals tennis tonight and boy this guy from France beat Rafael Nadal in straight sets, what a match. Hopefully he is up against Federer in the final, what a match that will be.

 

Ok back to making a few more squares before bed.

 

I couldn't be up in the middle of the night to watch this match. I love to watch Nadal, so I hope the guy who beat him has a good match on Sunday.

Here is the latest picture of the Lady of the Lotus.

It's on top of Kim and John's queen sized bed. I've now started on the 5 blocks for the bottom. Have one block already crocheted.

Wow Linda, that is really looking nice.

 

Denise, good to see you back.

 

Had a lazy day, just did a bit of crocheting on a matinee jacket, took a walk into town, came back, read some blogs, crocheted some more, made supper (grilled turkey breasts with nando sauce, caramilised carrots and cauliflower with cheese sauce). The kitchen is clean already and DD is vacuuming the house for me while my cousin's son is in the bath. Once DD has done all her homework, both children will go to bed and I can do some more crocheting.

Linda...the ghan is looking great!

 

Cara, I love the blue Amish deign, like the second one too (but would likely use red and ...maybe purple.. with the black and white. Though now I'm not sure of the white. The third didn't remind me of the Amish quilts/designs I've seen...though maybe I'm wrong there.

 

I also love the feel of the light hooks, even w/out the light on!!

Morning everyone,

 

Mary congratulations for finishing Just Ducky. What is your next project.

 

Cara I like those designs but I like the blue the best, not sure that I could do all that black though.

 

Linda that looks just amazing and its going to be huge.

I love this more and more each time I see it! It is such an heirloom - just gorgeous.

Renee ~ Your colors will be wonderful for the Casa.

 

Wendy, for now I think I'll get back to the Dragonfly ghan. I'm no good at working on more than one thing at a time. Of course in a day or so, I'll probably be making more squares.

Hi Miss Mary Thanks for the compliment. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. My friend absolutely loved it so that definitely made me happy.

 

Linda that LOTL looks stunning. You have done a wonderful job on it.

Are you going to submit this to a publication? The design is GORGEOUS!!!

 

 

Cara - I love Amish 2 BLUE!

[Aussie]

Renee great colors you have picked cant wait to see your progress.

 

Mary I love that dragonfly ghan, I really must get the pattern as I do want to make it one day.

 

Krystal have you decided to make a saltine ghan yet.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Are you going to submit this to a publication? The design is GORGEOUS!!!

Krystal, I can't submit this to Cara's site since it is a variation on an already existing pattern in another media and not an original idea of mine. Thanks for the compliment, though.

Cara, after much frustration I have finally gotten a copy of Paint Shop Pro off eBay. It's being shipped today. Once it arrives, I'll transfer the pattern for Mr. Rooster to that and get it off to you. And THEN.......... I'm going to try coming up with some original patterns of my own that I've been toying with. These won't be takeoffs on someone else's patterns. So we shall see what I come up with.

[Misa]

Linda - The LOTL is looking absolutely fabulous!

 

Got the yarn today for the green Amish looking one They didn't have enough of two blues that I liked for the first one. That's what I get for trying to buy yarn when they're having a big yarn sale

[judianne]

What greens did you pick, Cara??

[Aussie]

Cara cant wait to see what it will look like. Are you going to put those patterns on your website.

[Misa]

Judy - I got RHSS in Light Sage and Caron Pounder in Hunter. Gonna use off white instead of white on it though, I think. After reading your comment about the white I must agree I love having y'all to run things by

 

Wendy - Yes, eventually but I'd like to have finished models before I do. I don't mind releasing a few charts but I don't want it to be all charts and no models

[judianne]

Cara, off white is a good choice - I love that with green. In fact, my bedroom has sage and off white as part of the color scheme:) (Phil's idea...soothing, he said. I still love the red guest room best:D)

I was thinking that you could (a) approach the original designer, or (b) approach the original publisher and then let THEM do the legwork on the modification. I wasn't saying to push it off as your own necessarily. I think it would be worthy of getting that permission to put it into a different media.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Krystal - 10 bicolor squares today.

[Skysmom]

Presenting my version of Cara's pattern for Just Ducky! (Clickable)

Hi Gang

Thought I'd drop in and tell you I'm still kicking. Not very high, but kicking . I have attempted to catch up on posts, which is a losing battle for me right now. I have read the last couple pages though .

Cara- your new designs will be pretty .

 

Mary- your ducky turned out so cute -- you do such perfect work !

 

Hello to everyone else ,too .

 

I am still crocheting, just in slow gear . Working on 3 baby items, along with some saltines for my Leslie-ghan .

[Aussie]

Julie howdy, its nice to see you. Hope your looking after yourself. Cant wait to see how your ghan is going.
