New things coming about...

     Hello all, yes I have been away for some time... I was sick forever and I feel like I'am coming down with something else already I have barely been well...  My two grandchildren that live with me go to day care and bring everything home and whatever they catch I catch...  At any rate I been crocheting and finally started working on a blanket that I wanted to make forever ago.  Finally had a few extra dollars and Beverly's and Michael had a Red-heart sale ...  Yay 🌺
        
     So I started in making my granny squares in a lot of different colors...
       
     It has been a long while since I've made a granny square blanket.
     I need 42 large squares to complete the  square part...  I'am almost there. Like 10 more I think...
Then comes the task of putting them together...  I would probably be done already but I have stopped to do other things...
     I decided to make a matching doily...  I have the original which is starting to fall apart and I have made the middle portion many times...  But I thought would it not be pretty in many colors like my blanket...  The hardest part which isn't is the roses and this part the main part is to simple...
         I have five completed and there are thirteen all together...  Twelve for the end to go around the main part and one in the middle...  I only have seven colors I think so The best thing is to do two of each and then I wasn't sure which color for the middle since one of the colors were olive green...
     I don't think I want a green rose...specially not fot the center...  So brain stormer that I'am I thought 
Since there are several layers of pedals I will make each different colors will see how it works though 
Not sure it will work...  I also made sweet hearts last night and today, which I posted on my main blog...  Mz. Witherspoons Cottage...
      ( made this placemat today, which can be found on youtube ). I forgot her name...
             I love this one forever...
             These two last night
     The last one... I had fun,  thanks for stopping bye have a wonderful evening with love Janice

    1. Deatest Marjorie look up crocheted hearts on you tube. And you find many there. I watched a video there on the how to but I believe they aslo have links to the patterns.

  5. There's a lot of sickness going on in our home too. It seems it's hard to stay well this winter. Glad you're back to crocheting. Your granny blanket is coming along nicely.
