I've Made Friday Week 48

I hope your week has gone well

& you have a fantastic weekend ahead of you.
I hope you had a good February and are
welcoming March.

I'm seriously ill at the moment
so I'll be around when I can.
I'm on the strongest antibiotics saved for pneumonia
patients. If these don't work they aren't sure what they can do.
They have upped my steriods and are hoping this will help.
I'll keep you updated and fingers
crossed I'll be on the mend soon!

Now I've got loads to show you!

I've been making things whilst I've been ill.

I'm struggling to sleep as my chest is making a horrible

rattling noise.

I'll be glad when I recover.

Shells legwarmers

from

Susie J Crochet

This is the pattern set I bought:

The pattern is available on:

Etsy

Ravelry

This is a beautiful pattern & really easy to follow.

Next I made a Baby set:

  

  

This is the Starbirght Bonnet & Legwarmers

Designed by 3 Boys & A Ball of Yarn

This is the set I bought:

The pattern is available on:

Etsy

Ravelry

Craftsy

Next I made:

Now I did make quite a number

of mistakes on this pattern.

They are only little ones & I think it

will look much better after being

blocked.

I followed the free pattern:

Little White Dress

by Sarah Cooper

I also made:

Some booties from the pattern:

Girl's Shoes with Lazy Daisy Ribbon Embroidery

By Happyberry

I haven't added the ribbon yet

but I might try once I'm a bit better

I finally finished my baby blanket

  

I'll have better pictures when we actually get some sun.

I have also designed a few add on's for my Free Mug Cozy Pattern:

  

  

I'm hoping to get them typed up soon and you'll be able

to change your applique to what mood or festivity it is.

Now that's all I've made - not been really busy :-)

I've also been trying to design my own

banner and pin:

It's not perfect but for a first try I don't think it's too bad

As you know I've recently bought a Craftsy Course.

I bought and followed the:

Beyond Rectangles Course by Linda Bermann

Crochet: Beyond Rectangles - $14.99

Retail Price: $24.99

You Save: $10.00

from: Craftsy.com

This is an easy pattern to follow & throughout

Linda gives you lots of hints and tips.

You also get a special tutorial

at the end of the course.

Throughout the course you can ask questions and get the answers 

straight from Linda.

Linda's support makes a huge difference. If you get confused you can get the help.

You can do the course at your own speed & repeat as many

times as you want.

I often paused and then carried on watching when I was ready.

I loved the fact that I could see what I should be doing.

You were given options to choose what you would like

to do on certain parts.

Linda makes all the instructions clear and you don't miss a thing.

After completing this course I decided that

I enjoyed it so much I wanted to sign you for more.

Hubby let me sign up for a couple as part of my up coming birthday present
and a couple I had bought when they were on sale:

Tunisian Crochet: Revolutions in Color and Style - $19.99

Retail Price: $29.99

You Save: $10.00

from: Craftsy.com

I purchased some tunisian hooks when I first start to crochet.
Apart from making 2 cowls they have been left to collect dust.
I can't wait to follow this course and blow the dust off them.
I had only really learnt one stitch previously so this is going
to be a fantastic course to learn more.

Crafty Crochet Embellishments - $14.99

Retail Price: $24.99

You Save: $10.00

from: Craftsy.com

I couldn't resist signing up for another one of Linda's courses.
I also can't wait to make different things to brighten up my clothes
and my home.

I am also looking at the:

Shuttle Tatting - $29.99

Retail Price: $39.99

You Save: $10.00

from: Craftsy.com

This course looks really exciting and the patterns look beautiful.

It's not something I've looked at before

& I think it is one where a course will

be of a great help.

I also love the fact it teaches you how to convert old patterns

so you can use with today's techniques.

I've finished listening to:

Audio:

Bram Stokers Dracula

I loved listening to this book.

I really enjoyed the old English and some of the 

different ways and predictions they had for the future.

I am so glad I took the time to actually read (well listen)

to the Original Dracula

I would highly recommend this book!

It's a classic in every sense.

Now it's your turn

It doesn't have to be crocheting

anything you've made is more than welcome!

Please try and visit at least 2 other sites

to see what other people have been making.

Can you also put the pin and link to this page

so that we can get more people joining in.

Thanks!
