It's that time of year again, the temperature drops along with the leaves of the trees and the Christmas lights start appearing in the streets and the shops. So naturally thoughts turn to getting prepared for the winter. The chimney was swept on Monday, the log basket filled and some twigs ready for kindling.
You may remember that month's ago I shared with you the log basket I had crocheted. Well it is now lined and finished off along with a matching little version for the kindling. The actual crocheting was completed months ago but the lining has only just been accomplished, sewing is not my forte!
Anyway I did say I would show you all the finished items and it just so happens that it coincides with the start of this month's challenge at
Love to Craft.
Materials used:
chunky wool
iron on heavy fabric stiffener
lining fabric
crochet hooks
pattern (came from a series I collected some years ago)
paper and pencil to work out all the adaptations (the log basket is larger than the original and the kindling basket is smaller!)
I was surprised at how many logs I was able to fit into the basket, should be plenty to keep the fire going all evening without having to visit the log store in the cold!
The new challenge at
Love To Craft is, as always, Anything Goes and means anything so whatever your particular craft is this is the challenge for you.
HOW TO PLAY
Our challenges are monthly - they go live at 6:00 AM EST on the first day of every month and run until 6:00 PM on the last day of the month - and are always Anything Goes!
Winners and Top Picks are chosen by our Design Team and announced on the 5th of the month following the close of each challenge. We do not solicit sponsorship so there are no prizes. We play for *FUN* and for 'Winner' and 'Top Pick' badges. There may occasionally be a goody bag of craft supplies thrown in by the blog owner or some blog candy scattered for a lucky winner!
You may enter up to five (different) projects in our challenges and you may combine our challenges with as many others as you wish.
Link just your project - not your entire blog - to our challenge via the Linky Tool at the end of the challenge post. List our challenge in your blog post and link back to us.
We allow back-linking of projects that are no more than six months old. Absolutely no digitally-created projects - we want to see tangible handmade creations.
It would be lovely to see your creativity in our challenge so please do share with us.
Thank you for visiting. Take care.
