One a day update....grannying on


Hello. 

It's Tuesday again, they come around quickly at the moment, so it's time for the One a Day update.
These are the 6 squares I got finished this week, one short, I know, but there are only so many hours in a day!

I am planning to do a few extra this week to catch up and give me some breathing space.
I did get to add some purple this week, it stands out a bit at the moment, but when I get a few more done I think it will look good.  I also added a darker, bluer, green and an apple green to the mix, as I though it was getting a bit wishy washy.  I'm happier now.


So here are all the squares so far, 20 in total.


...... and because I am such a fashionista, I thought I'd show you the stylish footwear I was wearing today - socks and sandals are always in fashion, right??  hahaha.... only around the house though, my family already know I am a lost cause, but I think I still have my friends bluffed! ( Or not, I really just wear whatever I want, or whatever is cleanest, my laundry system is out of control!  But that is a whole other story.)


Linking up with the other girls over at Gingerbread Girl, have a look how their One a Day projects are progressing if you have a few minutes.
Have a great day!

  2. Greetings from a cold and frosty UK. For someone who is pretty new to hooky your work looks quite lovely. Enjoy your trips to the beach, I am very jealous and can't wait for warmer days to come. Thought the footwear was something else!

  21. This is a really nice square! I'm pretty sure I've done it before. Is this tricolor square from Jan Eaton's 200 Crochet Blocks? Here's my version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yoork/5681004849/in/set-72157626509451681
