Too much fabric, fabric everywhere waiting for being used? Try fabric origami, it really helps to kill some stash.

Scrappy Look Crochet cross-body purse, Toe-less Socks, Finger-less gloves,and Granny squares

       Ever since seeing that beautiful granny square blanket on "Big Bang Theory",  I've been wanting to make one. After reading a few crochet books from the library and some practice, do, undo, redo, I started this big project. I did a few blocks and got some odds and ends, that were too short even for the inner circle. I hated the mess and I hated to throw them out too, so here's the idea: A scrappy look  cross-body purse. Add lining to it, a zipper pocket to hide some secret money LOL I didn't stop there. I know it's almost summer now, but winter will come, then I'm ready, we're ready. No idea how many squares are  required to make a blanket, as a beginner, i'm allowed not knowing that, but it seems a lot, 9 blocks make a throw pillow cover, up to now, I made 28 of blocks.

Crazy quilt coin purse , A small or a big project?

Finally, Spring comes. I come out of hibernation eventually, and finished this project which was started months ago. It is small, yes, in size, only 4"1/2 (11cm) diameter, but when talking about the effort, Hmm, I'm not so sure, it did require hours and hours of work, including undoing some embroidery. I'm still learning stitches, so I have an excuse for doing, undoing and redoing. Back or front? another side for sure  inside Some details It started with one pink rose to practice bullion knots, then added more in different colors, then added leaves and stems, and two cat tail plants to balance the whole bouquet
