FIRST TRY AT A SQUARE AFRICAN FLOWER

Not a great picture....bit late for photography!!

Been trying to do a square African Flower and try the purple and lime colour way

Needs work yet but at least it's square hehehe

Colour inspiration 

feel the need for purples in my life hehehe

Violet / Purple Healing properties: These are colors of transformation.  They heal melancholy, hysteria, delusions and alcohol addiction and bring spiritual insights and renewal. These colors slow down an over-active heart; stimulate the spleen and the white blood cells (immunity). Bring sleep. Soothe mental and emotional stress. Decrease sexual activity. Decrease sensitivity to pain. They help in detoxification. Leonardo da Vinci proclaimed that you can increase the power of meditation ten-fold by meditating under the gentle rays of Violet, as found in Church windows. Esoteric/magickal: Elemental spirit. Divination and prophecy. Angels. Psychic abilities, divination, counter-acting negativity/black magick, reversing curses, psychic healing, psychic power, inspiration, meditation, spirituality, spiritual power, astral projection, third eye, compassion, counter-acting depression. Preference for violet/purple: Colors for meditation, contemplation, mysticism, spirituality and religion power. A longing to ascend and dissolve polarities (purple consists of the active red and passive blue), to improve the world. Reservation, mystery and dignity. Soft, sensitive people with often paranormal abilities. Aversion to violet / purple:  A person who has an aversion for violet / purple may have very serious attitude towards life; and may find it difficult to give dreams, fantasies, vague fears or memories a place in it. May have tendency to rejection everything he regards as unnatural or unrealistic.

Sweet Dream everyone hugs x

update August 2011: PATTERN FOR AFRICAN FLOWER SQUARE

BLUE SKIES.....SOME FINISHING OFF

Found 10 granny square the other day and didn't know what to do today so l made 9 of them into a cushion 

all blues greens and cream while we watched the Footy..we won not well but we won at last next round coming up

Just couldn't resist starting an African Flower one to go with it hehehe

just had to do a collage as well 

Ordered the Filz-it to finish the 3rd felted bag and some fine Filz-it in black and grey another playtime around the corner!

Isn't it HOT today?

ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE...YET AGAIN!

Really love making the felted bags and not taking me 5hours to make now more like 4...love a quick but effective project......but ran out of yarn yet again for the 3rd felted bag...must find another felting yarn that's easier to get my hands on when l run out

Pastel Lap Blanket is growing slowly another round may be 2 will see it finished then an edging to think about!

See the knitted blanket in the back ground..Dunelm in their sale £9.99 half price and the crocheted one was only a fiver a few months back..real bargains

Going to do a small sample of all the wool Colinette yarns and see if any of them felt..watch this space

Looked a dying my own but don't really want to get into the yarny wet bit fixing etc

Must ask Kate what she uses!

PIN CUSHION ME AND MR T FEELING A LITTLE BETTER THANK YOU ALL

Sorry Bim ran out of wool again so half the strap still to do on your bag!!

Great day out drove past Joderal Bank on the way there Phil picked up his b'day present from Machine Mart (Free standing Pillar Drill) while l got the cracks filled hehe.....new me tonight few tiny bruises and slightly lumpy for a couple of days but worth the trip..good to cya Caroline

Great meal at the local with friends tonight they brought Phil's birthday pressie over been really ill for a couple of weeks and only just feeling ok to go out

Hope it's all over now and you feel loads better from now on...HUGS BOTH XX

MR.T....

Mr T says thanks for all the good wishes and l'm feeling a lot better tonight still not A1 yet but on the mend 

Thanks for the suggestion about a cat bite......could be! 

So may take him to Vet's in the morning for antibiotics

On the bed with me now.......l put my clean washing down ready to put away and he made a comfy bed on it haven't got the heart to move him poor love

His breathing is so much better tonight and he met us with his tail in the air this afternoon 

But he is still struggling to jump on his favourite chair and our bed

ONE VERY POORLY PUSSY CAT

Got back from the weekend camping to find Mr T was not looking very well at all couldn't lift his tail sides sunken in fur looking dull no life in him at all....seemed a little better the next morning has eaten and drinks lots of water getting lots of attention and managed to go out for a wee and is sleeping a lot but does seem on the mend but very slowly...poor love sooooo hate it when any of them are poorly

No idea what has happened but at a guess l would say he has had his tail shut in a door or been kicked he can lift it but chooses to let in hang mostly the base of his tail is swollen and if you touch it very gently he flinches...lots of TLC for Mr T vets tonight if l don't see another improvement in him

The others can't believe how quite he is......usually he's chasing them all and running up trees!!!

One of the bags l made at the weekend same as the felted one but slightly smaller because it won't felt made in Merino needs a lining and l'm not sure it works for me although l love the colours

this is the second one l started again in Merino will need lining and will be a drawstring to go with a sun dress l have

Wlked around the garden this morning things are blooming especially my Lilies and a small rose bush that was hidden under a bush....

and a few holes in te Hosta but never ever seen it so big usually been eaten up by beasties

James GF is lovely lol.....such a confident and happy young lady love her to bits 

She loved the felted bags so she chose the colours last night and l started the 3rd bag 2hour journey to make today so l'll finish it in the car and felt it tonight for her

The new felting wool arrived yesterday along with the ball l needed to finish the original bag l made so washed the new one and the grey one again and it's felted better with a second wash but love the pale aqua 1st bag hanging on the line drying right now ready for the trip out

Going to see Caroline in Wilmslow a little bit of crack filling and a chat 

not seen her for about 3rys a birthday present to myself hehehe

Thanks for all the great comments will try to get back to peeps when Phil is back at work and l have more on-line time

HUGS TO ALL XX
