This pattern is called the Fat Sack by Terry Atkinson. It's a little fussy, but nice, sturdy and big. It takes about a yard of fabric and I've made 2 and have 4 more in progress.
I've also been making wreaths. I've discovered different supplies at DollarTree and Dollar General and I've been going to town.
This wreath is still in progress and uses cut up pieces of plastic tablecloth tied to a wire wreath. Julian has proclaimed it the worst craft ever and tedious af. lol
This clothespin wreath was an experiment and is not very structurally sound. I'm either going to have to find better glue or a better method.
I've also been crocheting on 2 projects. One project is called Lily Pond and is a crochet a long from 2015. It's very intensely complicated and has a lot of techniques I'm not familiar with but I'm plugging along. I am on the second set of blocks. It will be beautiful when finished! I've already started planning my next afghan. It's called Floral Dreams. I'm also working on a cardigan I designed and don't have a picture of because it looks really boring right now. I plan to embroider all over it. It's in my favorite crochet technique, Tunisian crochet. I have not done much, if any, embroidery in my life, and now I'm planning a large project. That's the way of the my family. haha.
Last but not least is my oatmeal can craft. This is way out of character for me but was fun! I have put my paintbrushes in it. Organization is fun for me and pretty organization is a bonus.
You are incredibly talented. My absolute favorite was the way you and Whitney did the boy's room in Tyler. That was the most fantastic room. I wish I had 1/4 of your talent. You and Whitney create such beautiful things. My photo box is my favorite thing.
