These granny squares have been lurking around my craft area for awhile, pretty much ever since Hope Valley arrived, so I figured I was past due in posting photos. Leave it to Denyse Schmidt to make me fall in love with purple + orange.
Visit this great granny squares tutorial if you're in the mood to try a little crochet yourself.
I've spent very little quality time with my sewing machine lately (boo), but I have managed to put together a little something that I think you'll enjoy. Soon. Even those of you who don't sew.
Check out my new tags, aren't they the cutest? That little blue bird makes me so happy.
Oh yes, I still get excited about every little thing. And before I receive another slew of e-mails asking...I got the labels here.Now, Easter is coming up and I know that many of you probably remember my fabric egg tutorial from last year, but I wanted to make sure to remind you that there is still have enough time to whip up something adorable (and easy) in time for the holiday! My kiddos played with those eggs long after the Easter Bunny's tail disappeared over the horizon and I'm sure yours will love them too. So many of you have posted your gorgeous egg photos in my flickr group, thank you so much, I love them all!
Now, back to whatever it is I should be doing right now. Oh yes, sleeping!
Hope you're having a wonderful week...

Those tags are so cute! And those tails to whatever the sneak peek is are darling ;) Can't wait to see what you made!
ReplyDeleteThe tags are too, too cute! I LOVE the birdies! I am so into birds and owls lately.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I love your blog and I am looking forward to seeing the upcoming project!

Love your tags and love the little animals that are showing us their tails. TOTALLY loving the color palette on the first few pictures too. So basically...I love it all:)

I love orange and purple, and your tags are way cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving you granny squares. Placing them next to the HV- you got me, I'm totally going to try crochet! And I ordered my labels from clothinglabels4u as well, great customer service. Give the sewing machine some love!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the crocheted squares/coasters and the fabric behind them! The colors closely resemble my collegiate ones and it inspires me to start making more homemade items to go in our 'game room' that has all of our school stuff in it! And your new tags are super adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your tags! I've been trying to find someplace to have some made. Would post, if you don't mind, where you ordered them through? I'd love to give them some business!

Well my first two eggs didn't come out so good, but I'm going to keep trying!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any tips for stuffing them? Or do I just stuff and stuff till I can't stuff anymore??
Mary, check the comments section in the tutorial for my hints on stuffing the eggs....it does take a lot of stuffing to fill out the eggs; ideally they'll be firm, but not so full that the seams are bulging. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you made!
