I'd love to see it if you end up making one with them!

[CFDeeDee]

Hopefully very soon .. I'll make sure to share a picture ;D

[Tejas Janet]

I love reading about the crafty projects here, and seeing the wonderful photos. Really nice y'all : )

Gave a funny book to cat-loving sis-in-law for her recent birthday, Crafting with Cat Hair: Cute Handicrafts to Make with Your Cat.

Had the desired effect - hysterical laughter :D But I'm betting she'll actually try one or more of the projects.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Cool, TJ. Never thought about making crafts with cat hair.

[Sarah]

Laughing at Travis, Rusalka and Lexx. Tp sounds like a useful bookmark. old train tickets are more my thing (to use as bookmarks not to wipe my arse) ;-)

I'm hoping to be able to post a pic next weekend of our solar box for the roof of our boat which my partner is making. I will be contributing by painting it.

[CFDeeDee]

I've been working on a table set for more than 1 year I guess ! I know that is so long ago, but in my defense; I'm lazy ;P
I thought of making it as a 6 pieces set for plates, but then I thought of adding mug wormers or something like that .. But also; I'm lazy ..
So I guess I'll stick with the 6 pieces plate set.
So far I'm working on doily number 5 I guess !
You just have to love crochetig doilies :D

Beautiful, CFDeeDee! So neat.

[Esther]

Nice CFDeeDee.

BTw, I had forgotten about that thread. Melissa, I just add you on Ravelry.

[Stephanie]

Beautiful, CFDeeDee!

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks guys .. Such encouraging would make me feel like finishing the set in a month

[Cherie]

Oh, so pretty, CFDeeDee! My mother-in-law used to crochet like that. I have tried, but never got far. I love the outside design!

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks Cherie .. I've learned it in a school activity long ago, and then a friend of mine said "google it and see what other people can make" I was amazed how cool stuff you can make, and it is such a nice way to spend time !

Sure thing Esther .. Thanks :D

[Janice, Moderator]

Lovely, CFDeeDee!

[CFDeeDee]

Thank you Janice <3

[Sarah]

OMG Peggy, the monkey and the bear are so cute. I've just got into crochet and I completed my first project, there are some gaps where I can see the stuffing, but for my first project I think it looks cute. He's sitting on my bookshelf. I'm not sure what to call him yet.

[Stephanie]

Love the monkey, Sarah! Too cute!! I've tried crocheting..my pot holder for the stove turned into a rectangle rather than a square :) no matter what I did, lol

[Lisa]

I love the monkey Sarah! You did a fantastic job with your first project :) Any ideas what you are going to make next?

I keep thinking I will have a go at crochet. It looks like a lot of fun.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Beautiful, Sarah!
What about "Horatio"?

[Sarah]

Thank you =]

It was really fun. I just grabbed a kit from a carft store. I have a few ideas for my next project yes. I want to make a unicorn for my friends baby. I would love to make a granny square. I want to make a xmas teddy with little hat and scarf. Currently I'm following along with a subscription magazine called 'The Art of Crochet' it goes on for 120 issues. I'm on issue 3 so far and you make a giant throw.. this one.. Each week you learn a new square.

I like that name, he does look like a Horatio, what's funny is I was thinking of his name beginning with a H, I thought Hector but didn't know.

[Peggy]

He's supercute Sarah! I'm excited to see more of your crochet projects here soon :D

[Janice, Moderator]

Your monkey is so cute, Sarah!

[Peggy]

I love that throw by the way! I did a crochet-along once to make a blanket, but I quit after week 10... That was 1.5 years ago, and I'm still at week 10 ;-)

I like Horatio and Hector as names. Which is basically no help at all ;) I suck at being decisive!

[Almeta]

Do you know about "H'Angus the Monkey"?

[Sarah]

Hehe, thank you. He is adorable I can't stop looking at him. How about picking it up again Peggy? Do you buy patterns or get them offline?

No I don't know about H'Angus the Monkey, whats that's about Almeta?

I found a really cute pillow dog here

[KimeyDiann]

Does anyone know of any good craft or repurposing ideas for old phone books? We are cleaning out my mother-in-law's (is it mother's-in-law? that just doesn't sound right) house and I have a good 2-3 foot high stack of old phonebooks. I've googled around for some ideas but nothing has really caught my attention. They are more than likely headed to the recycling bin, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any suggestions.

[Stephanie]

Have you checked out Pinterest, KimeyDiann?

A couple of links from Pinterest in regards to repurposing phone books :)

[Almeta]

H'Angus the Monkey is the official mascot of Hartlepool England's United Football Challenge. He gets himself in the news by "running for mayor" and some other not always appropriate pranks.

[CFDeeDee]

That is very cute Sarah ❤️.. Try out amineko dolls .. They would look nice along with the monkey

I have been thinking of trying the pen holder, I saw a painted version of it the other day that is actually really cute.

[Sarah]

[Sarah]

They're all so cute. I love the giraffe!

[Cherie]

Beautiful work, Sarah! Your little crochet family is perfect. You and Peggy are very talented.

[[deleted user]]

Oh Sarah how cute are they!

[Sandra, Moderator]

Wow, Sarah!

[Stephanie]

So cute, Sarah!! Love them!!

[CFDeeDee]

Woow Sarah they look amazing .. Very suitable for decorating a book shelf too .. Great job

[Janice, Moderator]

This is what I finished this weekend:



The colours are a little brighter than in the picture, but it gives you an idea.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Wow, Janice, such a neat work! How long did it take you?

[Janice, Moderator]

I started it a year ago at last year's retreat. I did about 18 blocks before I changed my mind about what I wanted to do and the blocks gathered dust for a year.

I spent the day on Thursday ripping the sashing off of the blocks. I then did the remaining blocks, sashing and borders this weekend. It measures 60"x 60" so it's not a big quilt, and if I had started it from scratch on Thursday, I still would have finished it. It still needs to be quilted and bound. It may gather dust for another year. :)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Looks beautiful! Congrats!

[Sandra, Moderator]

There's two historical fiction book where quilting is quite important (both in different time and place): The Last Runaway and The Invention of Wings

[Janice, Moderator]

I've read three of Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series - The Sugar Camp Quilt, The Lost Quilter and The Aloha Quilt. They were all quite good and informative. The Lost Quilter dealt with the Underground Railway and the role quilts played.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Sounds interesting. I'll take a look. Thank you.
