I will trust Him

How I wish I could duplicate or even quadruplicate myself!  There are so many craft projects I want to do but just not enough time in the day to do them.

 I worked on several things today.  First off is my Fairy Moon by Mirabilia.  I'm slowly doing the beading.  I started in the moon.  There are so many beads crammed in there that there is not enough space for the beads to lay uniformly.  I'm doing this on 14 count aida so I know its not that I'm using too high of a count of fabric.  I know when I view the finished piece from a distance it will look fine but I still don't like the beads looking messy.  So, I worked a bit in her hair and around her neck. 

I finished the shawl I was crocheting.  It's called Dixie Charm and I used a K hook.   I've washed it already and can't wait for cooler weather to wear it in. 

No photo is complete without a cat in it!  That was is Violet.


Since I finished crocheting something I started a new project.  It is called the Emily Shawl and is a free pattern on Ravelry.  I'm using a new to me yarn that I got from Ice yarns last week.  It is a Silk Merino blend in a category 1 weight.  The shawl is quite a simple but beautiful pattern.  Once you get started you don't have to get looking at the pattern instructions. 

I have called you by name; you are Mine

I have so many projects on the go that it seemed to make good sense to me to start another one last night.  I started the Dixie Charm crochet shawl pattern by Kathy Lashley.  This pattern can be found on Ravelry.

I'm using a worsted weight yarn I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.  Its Sugarwheel in the colorway cherried away.  I'm using a size K hook.  Its crocheting up extremely quickly.  I'm just finishing up the first cake of yarn. 

Its looking very patriotic.  Too bad the fourth of July isn't in the winter!


I also got a bit more done on Blessings.
