APAD 098: Granny squares

Posted by The Insider on Mar 4, 2013 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, Cambodia life, Cycle 2, That's My World | 3 comments

I borrowed this photo from my crafts blog for this week’s Monday Mellow Yellows.

Last week, I was on my third project at Stash-Buster Challenge and here’s what I came up with —

Lots of of Granny squares. They’re very easy to make because the pattern is very simple. Just chains and double crochet stitches, that’s all. And I love how the color combo turned out 🙂

I don’t know yet what they’ll end up – as a blanket for the new family member, a sofa or pillow cover, or a table runner? I have not made up my mind yet but I’m making some more squares.

APAD 091: Crochet mini-hearts applique

Last week I signed up at Stash-Buster Challenge and my first ever project was the crochet mini hearts applique.

Since it was close to the Valentine’s day, I used these mini-hearts as embellishments for my Valentine’s card and gift tags or mini-bookmarks that you see below:

Yes, I’m “crafty” like that 🙂

I used brown kraft card stock, washi tapes, rubber stamps, metallic pen and baker’s twines. They were all hand-punched, hand-drawn and hand-stamped. Yes, I’m one of those followers of the handmade movement 🙂

APAD 031: Crafting with Sreisaat

This is what I’ve been doing lately – carving rubber erasers for stamping and designing cards. I’ve taken it upon myself to make our Christmas cards this year.

I love stamping! And crafting in general.

There’s something special about handmade cards (and other DIY stuff) and I love making them. They’re unique and fun to make. Each card is a product of inspiration, love, time and effort. And it’s something more precious or valuable than cards bought from the stores.

Crafting is so much fun, whether it is scrapbooking, card-making, crocheting, sewing, and others. Don’t you agree with me?
