crochet WIP

Now i have been forced by my 8year old to finish her Hex's cushion. I am not allowed to start another piece until i have done so , so she demands ( i have manged a few sneaky projects here and there). Now the hex's i have fallen out with and could not no more but then i fell back in again and felt quite happy making them. Now joining them had become a chore ! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is one frustrating piece of work but when you look at the results, it's worth it really don't you think ? Not quite finished but nearly there!

It was really a clear out of WIP some dating as far back as Dec 2008 opps.

bag crochet
Remember this? I had a look thorough my blog post and no i didn't blog it. So why would you remember?

It was to be my first ever Afghan and i had to make 99 squares but i gave up at 15 and made it into a bag instead. At least that project is not lingering on!

I used an old tub of hot chocolate and made it into a charity collection box for my home and used my special yarn to cover it. I really like this glittery yarn fused with black as i have done here.

A small book sox for my books that get grubby in my hand bag , i sewed some beads on to the flap and used Velcro fastenings.

Assalaamu Alaykum,

I love all the posts you've churned out today. But you know I love this one most!!! Ma sha Allah tabaarak Allah!!! Love the hex cushion AND the wristwarmers!!! I don't think the scarf is too narrow at all. I think it's fine! Oh oh oh, love the book sock idea and the bag ma sha Allah!!! Brilliant stuff! :D

Assalamu'alaykum,

Masha'Allah on all of your projects! Your husband's scarf are the same colors that I made for my youngest(a hat to match), but, I think I like your variegated yarn better. Although I like my son's too.

I can also understand your daughter's demanding her cushion, the colors are so girly and feminine, I'm sure she is going to cherish this pillow.

Thanks for sharing.

Kindest regards,

Umm AbdulRahman

Essalam Alaikum Sis,

Masha'Allah nice stuff you have here. I moved my blog, it's not jamilas creations anymore, it's chasing children and recipes at blogspot dot com now. How are you doing? How is everything going? I am living in Algeria permanently now. It's interesting. lol
