Here are this week’s prompts: Happiness, Spring in Black and White, Family
or Faith, Fuzzy and Gathering or Provide.
SPRING IN BLACK AND WHITE.
My FAITH lies in the beauty and resiliency of nature. Our magnolia that was heavily damaged in a freak snowstorm a couple years ago is once again beginning to bloom. I stand in awe of nature.
Once again, here is our magnolia showing off its beautiful FUZZY buds.
This is my current WIP (work in progress). I am making an African Flower throw. This entails crocheting a bunch of African Flowers and GATHERING them together to make one piece of fabric. I learned a few things from this project. First, I never have enough scraps to make a project, which is what this started out to be…a scrap busting project. So now I have even more scraps to use up. Second, it is really important to read all the directions before beginning a project. I know that but don’t always do it. And thirdly, if I ever make another African Flower throw, I will use the join-as-you-go method, which I would have known if I had read all the directions. Whip-stitching these motifs together is a true pain.
