Its time to update this blog. My creative juices have trend to crocheting since my last post . That has been sometime with life getting in the way and to enable me to pick back up with some journal postings. 

Plans are to begin adding to the craft journal with a few projects either undergone and or presently going on as to post and hopefully soon. 

In the mean time , a quick snap shot of the latest crafting developments which is a Crochet Koala Granny square. 

My latest  developments have been with building animal granny squares for a children's blanket with a zoo theme.






And below, a few amigurumi characters that have also recently been completed.

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs.
