Friday night saw me once again snuggled in my chair with my crochet hook in hand.
I was very pleased to finish Part 7 of my Mandala Madness as I've had a couple of nights away from it and it is growing ever so slowly.
However, growing it is and I did make a more little progress into part 8.
During the day Nigel takes it over; the MOML says (quote) it's because Nigel has never had anything special made for him, and maybe now is the time (unquote).
I realised this week that I haven't shared my latest completed Anderson's Farm (aka Barge's Farm) block —
While we don't have two sheep anymore, our farm dog does like to eyeball the one we do have and bark at her. She just glares back, just like the ones in the block below are. Totally ineffective!

I. don't. think. so.

A special thanks to Cheryll for hosting us all for Friday Night with Friends :-) To see what everyone else got up to visit her blog, Gone Stitching,
Happy weekending ♥
Your gorgeous piece is growing.
ReplyDeleteNigel isn't very enthusiastic is he? Not doing his share really. ( it's looking lovely )
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn omg your crocheting is gorgeous and your block is so lovely,you are such a talented lady,well done my friend ....
ReplyDeleteNigel is just too cute in that photo. He looks like my Oscar, who likes to help me with my quilting, especially if I put blocks out on the floor.
ReplyDeleteThe Mandala is really gorgeous. Slow and steady still gets it done.
ReplyDeleteYour sheep and dog look so cute.
Just love your Mandala...Lynettes new BOM is too cute too
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying seeing the progress on your mandala, Nigel has the best idea there!! Your farm block is lovely. Typical sheep!! Lol!!
ReplyDeleteWow your crochet is amazing! Looks quite challenging.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finished block, love the colours
you are so clever Raewyn, your crochet looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow , your crochet is i credible , looks so complicated. Love your farm block too 😊
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! You are so clever. Nigel does appear to appreciate the beauty of it too lol! Lovely blocks too. Big birthday hugs lovely friend xxx
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness I just love your mandala madness, I have yet to attempt something like this but it is on my bucket list.....is it an easy to follow pattern, I may just need to book mark it for later date and start sourcing out some wool methinks :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteRight--I would definitely not make that for a cat, no matter how much I loved the feline!
ReplyDeleteCute farm blocks!
Fabulous work on the Mandala and I am sure Nigel a Granny Square one....
ReplyDeleteLoving the Barge's Farm block too.
Poor Nigel, he does deserve something of his own. My dog thinks she deserves something made from 1/4" hexies.....also not happening! The mandala looks very challenging and interesting.
ReplyDeleteyour mandala is coming along beautifully and the applique is so lovely. Nigel looks very much at home, cats will sleep where they want and not where you would like them to!
ReplyDeleteYour crocheting is looking lovely & colourful, it'll certainly be a very special afghan! How big are you going! My girlfriend is also making those farm blocks, I shall show her your link.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous crochet! Your farm is expanding...................
ReplyDeleteMadala Madness is looking brilliant and good to see Nigel on it as it gives me an idea of how big it is! xx
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, your Mandela is gorgeous. How big will it be when finished? Loving yout farm blocks, too! Kitties! They know beauty when they see it!
ReplyDeleteYour Mandala piece looks great. The colors and textures are so pretty. Love Nigel's photo.
ReplyDeleteVery cute farm blocks too. sweet embroidered details.
Tell Nigel to get off the Mandala, because when it's finished you're sending it to me, aren't you Raewyn?! LOL x
ReplyDeleteDear Raewyn,
ReplyDeleteyour "Mandala Madness is really lovely, the clors look so nice and I understand quite well that your cat just wants to relax on it.
I´m looking foreward to work on the fifth block of L.A. Button Club. Just completed Nr. 3 and 4.
Many hugs to you

Clearly Nigel approves of your yarn and colour choices and this is his way of showing it. I do too, the mandala looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour Mandela is gorgeous Raewyn. You must be so pleased with it. Can't wait to see the next round!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing every little addition to your mandala. It is stunning and I agree - it is not for the cat!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous farm blocks, too. You can have a lot of fun relating it to your own farm.
Both projects are GREAT! I love the way your mandala is growing, and I suspect the cat will continue to think of it as hers, now that she's claimed it. Good luck changing that! I LOVE your farm block. The dog looks just right appliqued.
ReplyDeleteI LovE the crochet project... it will be stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in FNwF... xox
Ooh...I love the Anderson blocks...they're gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMandela Madness is WOW! Move over Nigel I don't think so!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Jindi can so relate to your dog/sheep block :)
