I think I'll make a heart shaped purse for my DD using this pattern.

I'll do it in some Red heart ww pink I need to use up and maybe do the shell edging with white.

My first CAL!! I am excited, and NOT to overwhelm myself for the first CAL, I will try and pick out a pattern I can get done in time. I LOVE that doily, and MAY work it, if you don't mind sharing . I am going to look in a couple of my books here tonight, and make up my mind, and see what supplies I have on hand. I am COMMITTED to this CAL!!

[darski]

It is so nice that you are going to join us here for your first CAL. Kiss all your family now and get pics because once you do one CAL you sign up for hundreds of them and silly things like families can be lost in the process.

 

Just kidding Julie...

Really JoAnn, it is nice that you are trying this one.

[Carousel]

Can I join too! I have looked through the patterns and chosen two simple patterns that should not take too long. ( since I have 3 other cal that I have too keep up with lol)

1. Textured Heart Kitchen Set

2. Heart Fridgey

[JulieKay]

Heather- that purse is SO cute ! I bet it'll be a big hit !

 

Welcome Joann and Pauline -- of course, you can join . We'd love to have you . I will second Darski's warning, though. These are VERY addicting. Sign up for one and you are sunk . You'll never want to go back to crocheting alone again.

Good Morning Everyone!

I have not picked a pattern yet but I will soon, first I have to pick someone to make it for.

Later!

[JoBug]

Well, I just finished printing the heart doily pattern. Oh oh, so I WILL become addicted hu?? Well, I might as well be addicted to this, and not my smokes!! So, thanks all for the advice, I will take pics as it progresses.....here I go!!!

[StephanieD]

I worked some more on my doily today. It's really coming along. I sent my mother pictures of my doily in progress and she's now requesting a project done in thread. I made her an afghan for Christmas and now she wants something to go on a table in her formal dining room. lol

 

Anyway, here's my progress so far. I'm in the middle of round 14 out of 19. It's starting to take a more rounded shape now. I can't wait until it's finished so I can block it. I'm so excited!

 

[heart]

Stephanie, That is beautiful still! I just love your choice of thread! It suits the doily pattern perfect! Can't wait to see it all done up!

[heart]

I think I am going to try to make 50 hearts from as many different patterns a i can find, to add to cards, exchanges on other lists, ect. I think I will also try to do the Hearts along doily too. I'll post some photos later.

[Mel2nsluvsCrochet]

Ok ok ok....I will join up with this CAL too....it would just break my heart (pun intended) if I didn't.

Hi Guys !

Beautiful work, Stephanie

 

Glad to have you along, Mel ~

 

Heart- that sounds like a good idea and will go good with your name !!

[StephanieD]

Thanks Sarah, q8 and Julie.

I think that is a great idea. I think I may start making hearts to go in my cards and things as well. Thanks for the idea!

[Carousel]

Wow! Stephanie your doiley is looking beautiful! I have printed out this pattern. After I have finished a few of the already started CAL I might toss this into my wip pile.

Heart. 50 projects. That sounds great. Lots a luck. Can't wait to see them.

Mel. LOL

[tabbyj1]

I love this idea! I'll try to get purses done for my 4 girls, and maybe a fridgie or pillow for the grands--depends on whether I ever get my wips in check!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Hello & Welcome Tabby!

Stephanie~Your doily is coming along beautiful.

[JulieKay]

Welcome to another Tabby !

 

Good to have you with us .

[heart]

Ok, I confess, I did start yesterday. I have 10 so far, some patterns were give to me, some were found online, and some were just something I tried. I like the look of the thread ones the best, and have a few more patterns to try out. So I'll post more photos as I get them made, a few of these I almost didn't post, b/c they aren't exactly my best work, but I decided to post them anyway. Here they are.

 

[JulieKay]

Wow, Sarah

Those are just beautiful. I love the ones with the pineapple design the best. You have got a lot of talent , no doubt about it !

Thank you for sharing the photos .

[QueenOfCrochet]

Wow Sarah! Those are all so beautiful, great work. I love the pineapple design heart, very pretty.

[heart]

Thank you! Now, off to crochet the day away!

[StephanieD]

Wow, Sarah! Those are absolutely GORGEOUS! The recipients will LOVE them!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Okay, have ya ever had an idea but have no idea how to use it? Well, that's what is going on here. I want to do a ghan in hearts, actual hearts but i'm not sure how. Would they join right? How would ya join them? You see my point? and my misery? Geeze Louise, why can't I just pick something simple? I'll tell ya why, it's because i'm a difficult person. Believe me or just ask my Hubby.

Any suggestions? Or maybe a pattern for something else that may make me turn my head from this awful idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[skydramini]

What if you joined side by side, to make a circle of sorts?
