Truthful Tuesdays

I wasn't much into the granny square back in the 70's. Especially those vest.  There are so many variations for the granny now and they are so simplistic to make that I am on a mission to create as much as I can from a granny square. I guess the vest has made it's way back, but I still cringe when I see them.

Here is how I remember them.  Guess they would be cute with a pair of shorts and as a crop top.  I still do not want to attempt one of these, but all the other Granny variables, here I come.

Mad Monday

I just realized, I have worked 12 hours today and need to call it a day.  I have planned to work on a crochet project that involves a turtle.  Don't ask, they just image in my mind and then I am on a mission.

I ran across a vintage sewing pattern that has a turtle on it and this has inspired me to make something colorful and whimsical.

My evening will be putting together a pattern.
