...painted eggs for a little spring floral display...
...a throw for the living room...
... a pretty trim for some plain white towels (the crochet pattern is from issue 17 of Mollie Makes)...
...a geometric inspired cushion...
...another baby blanket, very similar to this one for a friend who is due to give birth in May. I'm just doing little sections here and there, when I get a moment....
...and, with Bella, some Easter decorations to hang on the pussy willow.
Wowzers you are creating some beautiful bits & pieces there Gillian! Love it all but the trim on the towels is really special, what a great idea. Hope you're having a good week. Rachel xx

Can't wait to see what you're doing with the painted eggs. I briefly thought about decopatching some but bought a pre-decorated bag from the supermarket instead! My favourite is the egg decoration you've made with Bella - lovely colours. x
ReplyDeleteAha, thank you... I've been looking for that bloody edging pattern for days, I want to put it on a scarf I made... been driving me crackers as I know it's hiding in my mags or books somewhere!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely pretty projects on the go there, enjoy :-)
Hello Gillian,
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing, you don't stop! Loving all the happiness and colour you add to everything! The eggs are a fun idea.
All inspired, thanks!!

Well you've been productive! Looking great.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I love all of these projects you're doing. Is that a giant granny throw? That is the most relaxing thing to crochet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - particularly those towels. I'm off to blow some eggs! Jane x
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been a busy duck! So clever, love the fringing on your towels xo
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have been very busy...don't envy you sewing in all those ends though :-)
ReplyDeleteAll fabulous and such lovely pastels. The eggs look great and the colours just perfect for Easter...I have two decorated eggs and a bonnet I have to help the girls with this weekend!

Busy busy! That towel edging is lovely - I really need to try and teach myself how to crochet. I love that there's a colour theme to all these makes - they look really fresh and spring-y! x

Wow! You've been a very busy bee!!! Spring is just bursting out of the page at me! Such gorgeous creations. I LOVE the triangle cushion :-) Mel x
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo impressed! I wish I got around to making things like this but even if I did I'm sure they wouldn't turn out half as pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely lovely ideas and all so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteClaire
Gorgeous makes Gillian ... the towels are so pretty ... where do you find the time ... bottle some for me ... please ;) ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteare you kidding me! that all looks amazing...i am now beating my inactivity up with your highly creative stick! xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteClever you, loving the granny squares and you must keep so busy, I envy you the energy.
ReplyDeleteOh my you are a busy lady! They are all so pretty but I think I like the crochet trimmed towels the best. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to add the trim to your towels..so pretty! And the cushion cover is going to be lovely! The Easter decorations are very sweet, too! Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow, someone's been busy. Everything looks good so far.
ReplyDeleteOh, so many great projects! I wish I was so productive. Will the towels trim survive in the washing machine?
ReplyDeleteThere's a great way to paint smth without the traces of the brush. You take a sponge (I use the one which is for make-up) put some paint on it and then you dab the object with it. I do it with acrylic paint (I do not know how other paint will behave), so acrylic paint first looks a little bubbly, but when it dries the surface becomes smooth and solidly painted.
Lovely Spring / Easter colours, Gillian! It's lovely to have all sorts of projects on the go like this - always something for every type of available crafting space - perfect! Enjoy every one! E x
ReplyDeleteOoh you have been busy! I'm going to hunt out my old Mollie Makes, I love the towel trim ...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Claire xx
wow, you have been busy! love all of the spring colours x
ReplyDeleteLook at all the ends on the little squares...I don't envy you! :) Like the throw x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Bella's decorations will look amazing on the pussy willow and the trim on the tea towels looks so pretty, makes washing up a much nicer experience!
ReplyDeleteLisa x
How wonderful...you are a busy bee.. . No wonder you like sprimg temperatures so much!
ReplyDeleteYou prolific "making" of such a variety of things always amazes me Gillian. When my kiddos were little I made dinner and that was it. You rock.
ReplyDeleteAs usual you are amazing at being able to produce such great things from many different 'genres' xxxx
