TRY OUT FOR JOINING THE STARS

Had a play with joining a few stars this afternoon.....bit gloomy so pictures aren't the best

20 joined together with SC...The beginnings of a throw?

James hates the holes!
I had thought about backing it with a fabric, l knew he would say....'what about those holes?' lol
AND
I'm not sure that it doesn't look better with no joining colour, just the stars
what do you think?
Hugs to all xx

Afternoon Update...RANDOM IT IS GOING TO BE


Afternooupdate:
made a few more stars then played with the layout.....James arrived for his dinner and he said random was best the others looked too designed and it should look old, as if l was using up balls of wool.

Just like they would have in the olden days.....made me feel old for some reason hehe

Now l need to make all 140ish and decide on the colour l will use to join them together?

I though a Stone colour, got lots of that and James agrees with me..
EASY PEASY!
Decisions made then...no more thinking just some hooky action

COLOURSFAR
deep orange/red/pink
purple/lilac/plum
pale pinks
blues/turquoise
11 greens
Total: 41, so about a 100 to make @ 4 an hour that's 25 hours of colourful playtime
xx

A PJ day here too...hehe

It seems like it is a favoured outfit to craft in...glad l'm not alone and now l will stop feeling guilty for having  
PJ DAY too....lol
Almost 40 large stars made now...just started the orange/yellow but l was so tired last night 
l only managed one orangey colour...lots more to make today though

Pondering a lot on how to put them all together....
Stripes, squares, shaded, blocks, or random, so many options to play with

THANKS EVERYONE
It's good to be back to normal again, although it is a shame the new  'DYNAMIC LAYOUTS' didn't work

HAVE A FUN FILLED DAY XX

Afternoon update: moved to a new post

Sunday, 13 November 2011

Thanks for your patience...

Not a lover of 'going back' but l'm afraid l've given up on the new 'DYNAMIC LAYOUTS'..HA!
So back to the old layout, such a shame but you lovely people have been struggling for too long with it
I'm sorry there have been so many problems with the new layout

STARRY NIGHT
managing to make 4 an hour easily, it's going to makes for a quick throw
Little piles of stars are appearing quite fast now, making about a hundred then l'll play with the layout and see how many more l need 

Remember this...
well it is still alive and growing too...new flowers or are they red leaves appearing?
I found a site that said in a real setting the plant would get daily water from drips off the plant and it doesn't like to have wet roots, although it liked lots of water, l was a bit confused but decided to spray it all over every day and not actually water the roots only once every month or so
Seems to be working it has definitely grown since l bought it
at the end of  September

2nd Loo Roll Advent Calendar
The second Advent Calendar, not quite finished, is more sparkly with holographic card snowflakes
and chocolate coins inside.....they did take quite a while to make but hoping they will last a couple of years if opened carefully
Phil bought me some Lilies and cabbage flowers..he knows how l like unusual flowers lol xx

Only 41 crafting days left...lol
Using the Organized Christmas site my Christmas action plan is getting smaller by the day...
The cards are sorted, half my presents and crackers bought, the table is planned, hand made presents are well under way and lots of other little sorting and cleaning jobs completed...feeling relaxed and ready for the fun

have fun xx

Can't sleep...Pinterest, crochet stars and the colour purple


......so l got up to make a few stars but got distracted by PINTEREST, and the colour purple,lilac, lavender, mauve and all related shades, click to see the colour analysed 
No idea why this colour appears in my life every now and then, so l looked it up...
Not a colour l love and it usually doesn't stay around for long...l just need it as a friend occasionally 

The color purple is the color of 
the imagination and spirituality

The color purple relates to the imagination and spirituality. It stimulates the imagination and inspires high ideals. It is an introspective color, allowing us to get in touch with our deeper thoughts.


I almost finished the second Advent Calendar today more bling on this one, holographic card snowflakes
pictures tomorrow
Almost out of the cardboard loo rolls now, but at least the choc's are safely inside the tubes this year
Last year l bought the choc's 3 times before they got into the calendars lol

DEEP THOUGHTS....
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau

NOTE...If you take a peek at the colour analysis, check out the Personality colour....now that was very interesting
