Truth About Crocheter's Evenings... :)

Hello, dears! Hope you weekend is going on well. I had only one day off this week, but still I'd share some new projects, right, but also some truth about my crochet evenings, like the one I had yesterday for example.
Saturday evening is the best, because you know that tomorrow is Sunday, what means no work, sleeping till noon (in worse cases even more), and you can actually relax. :) So why not to party? I did a little as you can see, with a glass of beer and some pretty yarn colors. I usually don't eat or drink while crocheting, but today it's Saturday, okay. (and in no case I promote drinking while crafting or otherwise!please).
I made 5 squares, no mistakes have been found so far :).
Continuing with Valentine's day's crafts,  I made this stuffed stripy heart which will serve as a lemongrass fragrant sachet for my D's cupboard. I admit that this heart was inspired by Lucy's Heart Hanger, Linda's Sweet Lacy Hearts, Lilli's Crocheted Heart and few others which kept appearing in the Internet in different shapes and colors. I decided to make a Cheshire heart, stripey like a cat :)
I also colored few pebbles with nail polish I'm not going to use anymore. Let's see where I can find a place for them. This is the pattern for the Stuffed Cheshire Heart as a free download.

Have a happy day and a bright successful week ahead! Don't forget, love is all around!
And a Happy Chinese New year!

  2. Your squares are very nice! It's surely going to create a beautiful blanket:) the heart sachet is also nice but why do you want to place stones with that? What has your D done to you ?;) just kidding:)
    You can place the stones in a glass bowl, it will make a good decor piece.

  3. Cute heart - a great idea filling it with lemongrass too. I'm going to have try at making Linda's lacy heart pattern and fill in with lavender :) Have a great weekend! Elisabeth x

  4. Loving your squares - the colours are beautiful - and so cool to see the sun shining through them on your previous post!
    Your heart is great too - hearts are such an iconic shape but tricky to get just right...well done!
    Hope you are relaxing today!

  6. Well, I think the beer glass looks perfect next to the coaster ;-) I don't promote drinking either, but nothing tastes better than a cold beer after running 13 miles *yum*

    LOVE the colored pebbles. I think I finally found something to do with all the nail polish my nephew keeps on buying me!

  13. You look like you are really enjoying your crochet, lots of new projects and nice colour combinations in your granny squares. Always feels nice to buy new wool and start new things. I have been buying some art materials and some wool to knit with. Look forward to that amazing blanket out of all your granny squares.

  14. Hi Anna! I see you are into making sqares with circle in it. That is my favorite.All my recent blankets are made in this style. The heart sachet is a good idea. I've never made a crochet heart,now you inspired me to do it for practical reason. And, who would think of painting pebbles with left over nail polish? Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Love and blessings to you!T.
