| This is what I did on my birthday yesterday |
 |
| crocheted a project |
 |
| circular |
 |
| made it up as I went as I do not read instructions very well!! |
 |
| self taught lefty!! |
 |
| I wanted to make a bowl to felt |
 |
| using two different wool yarns |
 |
| done with crochet-I am a super slow knitter!! |
 |
| ready to felt in the washer-I have a front load washer now and they are not the best for felting-but it is what it is |
 |
| after the first hot wash |
 |
| not bad but needs another round |
 |
| but first I cut into the bowl and folded the edge down |
 |
| Maddie wanted to pose with the bowl :^) |
 |
| I hand stitched the fold down with the same yarn and actually trimmed up the flaps a bit |
 |
| Maddie approves!! |
 |
| I also made OSU coasters for our neighbor! |
 |
| I don't usually have Beaver fabric in the house, but these are for a gift for a neighbor who just turned 90 |
 |
| He and his wife love the Beavers, so Beaver coasters it is!! |
I had a really fun birthday just doing whatever I wished!!! 5 years to retirement!!! Wahoo!!!
Take care, Happy Quilting and keep those needles sharp!!! Martha
Happy birthday Martha!!! :o)

DeleteHappy belated birthday. Great job on the bowl and the coasters. My son in law is a beaver graduate and fan. So I have Beaver fabric in my house too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes Debbie!!! Our neighbors loved the Beaver coaster and the fact that we, Duck fans, made them. They are fabulous neighbors and I plan on making a few more Beaver gifts for them!!! Thanks for the visit!!! Martha
