What I've Been Doing

So what have I been doing this week?
Well first up we went to Ikea on Tuesday and I bought among other things this vase.
It's cream enamel and I love it.
So Friday I bought flowers to go in it for the weekend.

And I am working on something new on the crochet front.

These Japenese Flowers.

This is going to be a blanket/bed cover.

I have joined in with a CAL (crochet a long) to work on this.

The CAL was an idea from Suz over at Suz Crochet Grove.

This is what it looked like Saturday morning.

One row finished and well on the way with the second.

And now it looks like this (photo taken this afternoon).

Two rows done and busy with the third.

What I love about making this blanket is that I am making it from yarn that I already had.

All the bits and bobs of yarn I had left from other projects.

And the beige and cream yarns come from a blanket I made but never really liked much.

So great stuff.
Here is the link to the CAL blog, do pop in and have a look and get some inspiration.
