Colourful Flower Garland

I had an idle holiday last week in the ward, I made this simple flower garland to leave behind. I used 8 ply acrylic and a 4mm hook, it took me a couple of hours when I was bored with nothing better to do. It now hangs in the art room at my private holiday resort :P.

Sparkly Scarf

I just finished making this long scarf out of some sparkly yarn I found in the art room at the place I've been for the last week. Its really nice, warm and thick yarn with a thread of silver woven through, spaced out with sparkly sequins. I just made it for something to do, its the biggest project I've done since my pink bunny rugg early last year. I'm going to donate it to the charity bin, hopefully someone will get some use out of it. Goodness knows I don't need more scarves and such for my own craft box, I already have several that I will never use myself. I used 4 balls of 50g and a 4mm hook.

My friend Kate from highschool posted this mandala today, she has so many lovely hand-made cards on her page. I've had a few wonky days the last few days, but seeing this mandala helps reassure me all is right with the world.
