Memo Monday 2017

A big new year wave to you all as I start to get back into routines. 

Now that Christmas has gone and gifts have been opened I can share the 3 crochet pictures that I made into cushion covers for those in my family who actually like to have cushions (not me I tend to move them out of the way).  This photo was taken at my crochet, cake and chat group - being held up with a lovely squares cushion cover one of the others made


I enjoy making the pictures although they need concentration and marking off the grid as it is done so not an activity to do at the crochet group, or even while watching TV. I used graphs created for cross stich or peeler beads - plenty of creativity being shared online for each.

Wishing you all a good week as we transition into the new year and new routines.

Oh my aren't these all delightful. I really like the kitties but your guinea pig is SOOOO cute.

I am not much of a cushion woman either - although the fur girls do like to tunnel behind them.

Happy New Year Helena.

They're wonderful! I bet they went down a storm.

I can't thank you enough for memo-ing in 2016 and helping to keep me going. If you and the other regulars hadn't been so much fun I would have given up long ago. Wishing you a Very Happy New Year!

Oh my, Helena, these are so eye-catching! I can't believe how much careful work must have gone into these ... Your crotchet skills just seem to go from strength to strength.

That is so clever! Love the cats. We used those grids a lot for Hama bead creations when the children were younger. Happy New Year to you Helena.

Finally catching up with your blog after a couple weeks off-line. These pillows are amazing. I'm not much of a knitter, and never learned to crochet so I'm always in awe of these projects.
