I had the best of intentions to have this blanket finished in time for the wedding. Especially given that I have had, um... twelve months to make it. But as it happens, I have some wonderful excuses, in that I have been continually sidetracked by other craft projects for myself.
The last week has seen me pick up where I left off with this project in that slim hope that it may indeed be finished in time for the wedding... or not long after. The only thing is, I keep thinking it would look lovely in the new nursery.
All in all, this makes me a naughty crafter, doesn't it?

No, you're not a naughty crafter - just look as the wedding for inspiration for starting a blanket & a nursery as the deadline!
ReplyDeleteThey are the most beautiful colours! It's going to be stunning Christina. No matter where it ends up I'm sure it'll be loved :) Kx
ReplyDeleteIt's looking so very beautiful so far, and the colour mix is just gorgeous. I don't think you're a naughty crafter - I'd be tempted to keep it too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning colour combination Christine! It's beautiful. I totally understand the impulse to put it in the nursery - it's so instinctual to wrap the baby in gorgeousness.
ReplyDeleteI am a shocker at working to deadlines. The seem to make me less motivated. I always end up finishing them like the day before or the day off.
ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely, I wouldn't want to give it up either!

ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture I thought it was for the nursery :) I just love the colours! I have a crochet blanket that has been sitting in the cupboard wait for some attention from me.. luckly I don't have a time limit on it, which means it will probably be sitting there for a long time to come... maybe next winter :)
