Blink and you miss it is possibly the best way to describe last week! I settled down into my cozy chair after dinner on Friday night, with the aim of joining in with the other FNSI-ers from around the globe, but all I could manage was one row on my scrappy waves blanket before I called it a night and tumbled into bed.
I haven't shared about this project for a while.... I am relishing using my odds and ends of wool and all along just wanted it to be a mess of scrappy colour...which I think I've achieved. It's the project I turn to when I sit down at night and really cant be bothered doing anything. A row here and a row there and it's actually grown quite big.
I thought I'd give FNSI another try on Saturday afternoon...no dinner duties for me (yaay, it was kids' night cooking). Determined to get at least one of my cushions (shown in my last post) finished, I focussed and was just sewing the buttons on when I was called for our delicious tea!
Our wee dog, who has been the hero of many of my photoshoots over the years, had a horrible injury this week.... we are unsure of exactly how it happened. He spent 2 days in vet hospital but we are happy that he is 'at home recovering' now. Not very happy about being under supervision and house arrest but doing really well considering the nature of his injuries.

And - yaay - my first finish for 2017!!

| Sulking... "I really want to run outside and chase something." Stitches on his neck. Drainage tube, which you can just see, will be removed Monday. |
Here's hoping for a calmer week!
Happy stitches :-)
Your scrappy blanket is very fun! I would want to go to sleep if that was draped over me! I used leftover yarn bits to make a Granny Squares afghan when I was in college. I think that was the last afghan I crocheted.
ReplyDeleteYour mouse cushioned turned out very cute. That kind of mouse would be welcome in any home. : )
Oh, the poor little doggie! Hope the recovery goes well.
oh poor little dog... give him a gentle pat from me.... i love your scrappy blanket. The best thing about having the children at home is their cooking night!!

Your scrappy blanket reminds me of the ones my Nan always had on her spare beds, mu sister and I would invariably have to swap them over, cos I had to have more purple in mine and she was after more yellow. Happy crocheting.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to be abl;e to sew and be called to a prepared dinner - lovely treat.
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy wave blanket, I like those in all colours kind of things. The cushion is beautiful, so nice to have dinner cooked for you!! Hope the little dog recovers well.
ReplyDeleteI love mice and that mouse pillow it sooo cute--good for you that you did get a finish in--that always makes one feel better!!!
ReplyDeletePoor pupster--hope he heals quickly--
enjoy the moments-di
Seems you were very busy! Love your cushion and glad pup is recovering. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh poor little boy, hope he makes a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteIt is great when small projects can use some of the odds and ends we end up making over the years. Especially great when it looks like that was what you planned all along! The cushions look terrific and I'm sure will be well loved. Having had a wee dog with injuries before... they always look so pitiful but you know you are doing the right thing keeping them inside and safe... and know that they will be back to their usual active wee selves very quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute little mouse cushion and I love the scrap crochet blanket
