Shasta daisy for a Shasta trailer

I was out watering flowers and plants in the garden and around the house yesterday when I came across my shasta daisies and realized that they have the same name as the Shasta trailer my Etsy customer is restoring. I wonder if that's why she picked this particular granny square blanket?

Here's a picture of my daisies and my daisies.




Lynette chose the white border, so away we go...

Finishing up some projects and starting some new

I finally finished my huge purple flower afghan. Wow, was it big and boy, did it take awhile, but it was so pretty when it was finished. I sent it off to my customer yesterday. I hope she likes it.



I also completed another custom order. In this one, I used colors similar to a supplied photo:




You can see the original bedding image in my previous post.

Two more custom orders to go plus a new one that came in today...

I received a message from a very nice customer in Maine. I've worked with her on several blankets. She asked if I could create something for a friend's child who has just been diagnosed with cancer. He is one year old. It breaks my heart to think of a little child with such an awful disease. I tried to think of something special and came up with this schematic:




This is a rough draft, so I'll be tweaking as I go, but I hope I can bring it to life! I tried to think of something that might brighten a one year old's day. If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to them! Hope everyone is having a bright and cheery day as well :)

New custom granny square baby afghan

I really enjoy "meeting" people on Etsy. Everyone has been so friendly, and all of my customers have been a pleasure to work with. My latest custom order is for a very nice woman in Virginia. She asked for colors to match her friend's nursery bedding. Here's where we're at:





I love these colors. The Land of Nod never seems to disappoint...

The home stretch...

Some new photos of my custom afghan. I think the colors look very nice together, and the border really adds a lovely touch. Now I "just" have to weave in a hundred tails.




Guess what I'll be doing while watching the Superbowl...

Have a wonderful Sunday!
