My beautiful friend Dani had a baby girl Amelie on Easter Monday, this is for her.
I saw a blanket like this somewhere in blog land but cannot remember where. I loved it so much and now I know how to get crochet on to fabric, thought i'd give it a go.
Four more squares to go.
Meeka has created some lovely Owl drawings (she did 3 all up, pink, purple & green) they are on her bedroom walls now and certainly brighten up her room. The little Dman kept running through the shots...
Con has been coming up with some lego beauties. He likes me to guess what they are and I always get it wrong! Can you guess what it is?
This is a cannon ship with a star wars clone flying it. It is a cannon and it flies.
The home of Creative space's is over at Kootoyoo, check it out.
What a beautiful Blanket. Amilie is a lucky little bub.
ReplyDeletePinky blankie for girly Amelie!! Noice! :)
ReplyDeleteThe baby blanket is looking fabulous. I"m sure it will be treasured forever.
ReplyDeleteThe omniverse is obviously telling me to PULL A FINGER OUT! Everywhere I look, there are pieces of blankets in various stages of put-togetherness (except for one that springs to mind).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blanket! And I love to see the kids getting creative too :) xox
ReplyDeleteLovely blanket and sweet to see what childrens creations up too! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful design for a blanket. Love the combination of fabric and crochet. It will be a special gift for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeletewhat clever children you have! the drawing is quite something.
ReplyDeleteand the blanket, definitely something that will be treasured
Love the look of that blanket. So many soft textures. xo m.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the baby blanket design.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you have combined fabric and crochet in the baby blanket. There is a small Lego/star wars obsessed boy in this too but thankfully most of his creations are pod racers so easy to guess.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky baby! I wish I could craft like this! xx
ReplyDeletelove the blanket,lucky baby. that owl drawing is great. clever girl
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous blanket! I love the idea of crocheting around the squares! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyour whole family is crafty ... i wish mine was. your baby blanket is so unusual. i'd never have thought to combine the two crafts and it looks great.

That blanket is so gorgeous. Lovely lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe lego ain't bad either. I've always adored lego.
ok, so how do you crochet onto fabric? I really do think the combination of crochet and fabric panels is fabulous
ReplyDeleteHi There Tracey, I just followed along with You Go Girl's "on the edge' tutorial - http://yougogirl.typepad.com/you_go_girl/2010/03/lets-get-ready-to-rumble.html
ReplyDeleteAnd basically went from there.
But with these squares I actually poke the crochet hook through the fabric, yarn over hook then pull it through the fabric. (You have to be carefull not to catch threads) then yarn over hook and pull it through the loops, do 2 chain & repeat.
I love the mix of textures too so this will be the first of many I feel.
