A world without computers – part 2
31st August 2009
We are back from our wonderful holiday in France, where we discovered secluded coves and snorkeled over oyster beds, explored old romantic ruinous castles, sailed on the salt marshes, ate mussels by the sea and drank wine by the bottle! It was wonderful, and if my camera hadn’t colluded with the computer to delete all, yes all our photos, I could have shared them with you…
But, onwards and upwards, we have our memories! I got a lot of crocheting done, I completed the cushion I was making out of the squares I received from the Granny Swap, all have been sent and received so I can show some pictures of what I set and luckily the ladies liked them!
I can’t show you the pictures of the ones I received unworked, as the camera (not me obviously!) lost them. But off Ali as I mentioned in my last post, I got the gorgeous blue and cream squares, along with a beautiful button that i’ve made into a necklace, I’ll post a picture another time, and some delicious chocolate. The other squares in the perfect blue, green and orange colours (I swear Marie must have been through my things as the colours are what I would have chosen) were off Marie, along with a fantastic parcel of matching corsage, mini bag containing tea and chocolate and an already utilised notebook. As you can see the squares went beautifully together and I didn’t want to spoil them when I joined them. So after much thought, I crocheted some miniature granny squares to join them. I think it really works, I hope the original creators do!
It goes perfect on my favourite chair! (If you click on the images it will make them bigger).
A detail, showing how I joined them.
Before this post becomes a ramble, and before the boys really do break something upstairs i’ll sign off, but i’ll be back with more pictures and ideas in a few days, when serenity rules again, and the boys are back at school.
Wow Jane, your cushion looks gorgeous! Its such a nice feeling to know that some of my crochet is being used and loved! I’m chuffed to bits that you liked the squares I sent!
Looks fantastic!
Fabulous work there!! Well done to all the contibutors and to Jane for compiling the pieces!!
Super!
That’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m so jealous, I just can’t crochet at all and I love the way it looks. Good job, you!
Oh my! I love what you have done with your squares, I have received the last of mine now so have to get my thinking cap on
