Hello my Tuesday Friends!
It's another gray wintry day here in Missouri. Snow flurries going on but nothing to worry about.
We had ice on Sunday :( so I stayed home from work again. Had my share of falls for one season.
Even the garden frog was unhappy!
It's gone now...washed away by yesterdays rain.
For my drink of the day I'm sharing an older coffee photo. Reminding myself that Spring is only 35 days away and we will soon have flowers!!'
Still haven't recovered fully from my fall so I'm doing a lot of crochet and knitting these days. I am doing a year long crochet along where we get new square patterns every month and at the end we put them all together for a throw or bedspread. Mine will be a bed spread.
Here are the 3 I have done.
I have also made myself a shawlet to help keep my shoulders warm at work on those windy days.
I made the buttons out of avocado seeds :)
I'm also knitting a hat and cowl to match just so I can improve my knitting skills.
The hat is finished and the cowl will probably get done later this week as I have a couple of Valentines things to get done.
Today's Random Thoughts
Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Your encouraging mug is perfect on this gray/rainy day, and I hope for flowers soon :) I think the idea of a bedspread made that way is fascinating. I love the shawlet! Lovely! And handmade buttons! I feel so guilty now about all the avocado seeds I've thrown away :(
ReplyDeleteHappy T Tuesday, and I hope the weather clears up for you soon. Falls are scary!
A hot coffee is just the right thing in cold weather. Love all the beautiful knitted and crocheted creations, wow! Happy T day, hugs, Valerieš
ReplyDeleteLove your countdown to Spring-it really doesn't seem so far off to me now although presently we are being pelted with freezing rain and sleet on top of the overnight snow:(:( Your crochet and knitted pieces are fab.I especially love that shawlet with the avocado buttons!
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
Wow, on so many levels. Your photographs are great. As is your knitting. Then I saw your quotes. One really touched me. I think I'm getting the snow and sleet that you are not. I'm ready for Spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitted and crochet items-I am in love with your color choices! that little frog does look sad-did you lose him from the weather?
ReplyDeletehope your healing from the fall goes smoothly-outch that would hurt for sure.
Happy T hugs Kathy
Your crochet squares look beautiful it will be an awesome quilt when they all get completed. The shawlet looks so warm and cosy and you had a great button idea as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

Goodness! You have been so busy and I love your shawlet! Your crochet squares all look lovely - especially to me - I can't crochet for toffee!! I do like knitting but haven't done any this year despite my intention to do so!! Thanks for the Spring countdown! Yay!!! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThe colors you have chosen for your projects are beautiful. I love the variation of colors. That shawlet is a stunner and I think that it is genius that you made your own buttons out of avocado seeds.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
You do amazing yarn work!
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
I hope you feel better soon from your fall. I have managed to stay on my feet so far this winter, but we have a long way to go before spring. (Another 14" of snow today.) I love your shawl and crochet squares, just lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those hands have been busy-busy!
ReplyDeleteIce is not good. Snow I love, but ice--I've fallen a few times over the past several years so I am extra cautious, too. Stay warm and safe!
Yes, it is good to be careful and stay put when the weather is so bad.
ReplyDeleteYou have put your time to good use. I love your crochet squares. The colours are beautiful. That will look so nice on your bed when it is finished.
Your knitting jobs are also fabulous. I love the shawlet. Buttons out of avocado seeds? The seed of an avocado is quite big. Did you saw them? And then dry?
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
I'm glad you're doing better, Carol. That must have been a nasty tumble.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet squares are really beautiful. I love the colors you chose. The shawlet is cute & sassy. The avocado seed buttons make it extra special. I wonder if you cut the seeds yourself.
Great random thoughts today. I'll be hearing Louie Armstrong in my head all day ;-) Thank you!
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Such beautiful crochet squares and knitting, a lovely colour too and how clever to use the seeds as buttons.
ReplyDeleteI remember when crochet dresses were all the rage, my grandma made me one is wedgewood blue, thought I was the bees knees and a matching sleeveless jacket, showing my age now.
Take care. Jan x. #17
I am late commenting but you are smart that you don't want to fall again. Especially if you still are recovering from the last one. But it has led to some fantastic crocheting. Love your squares! Hugs-Erika
