Yarn Love

Hello sweet friends!

 

My little dog, Barney, is just as

crazy about yarn as I am!

 

I am always taking pictures of him with

my yarn because he looks so adorable!

 



 

To him, a skein of yarn is a pillow. 

 



 

He's my sweet little buddy!

It was a cold winter so I let his fur grow.

Soon he will be going to the groomer!

 

Happy April!

I hope you all are having

a wonderful week!

Love, Twyla

also have loved you, abide in

My love." - John 15:9

 



Barn Charm

 

 

 

Hello sweet ladies!

I'm so glad sring is here, I just wish

it felt more like it!

 

I managed to photograph a barn

or two this winter, but I prefer to when

the trees are pretty!

 

 

 

I think these capture the coldness

of winter.  It's the same barn from

different angles in Newton County, MO.

 

Have a most wonderful day!

Love, Twyla

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.'

New Issue of Create Magazine!!!!

 

 

 

Hello dear friends!

The third issue of Create magazine that I am so thrilled to design for is ready to view and download. This free magazine has over 200 pages of papercrafting awesomeness.

 

Here is a look of one of the projects I contributed to this issue-

 

 

The magazine focuses on sketches -- providing four free layout, card, and tag sketches designed by Allison Davis and Debbie Sanders each month -- but there is so much more!

 

CREATE features a different manufacturer's design team every month. For February, the Teresa Collins design team has created lovely layouts, cards, and tags using the SG sketches.

 

Wishing you a lovely day, Lindsey

 



Afghan Obsession!

 

 

Hello dear friends!

 

It seems that I have an obsession.

I just can't stop making blankets!

We have blankets coming out our

ears, I tell ya!

 

 

This is my latest!

I wanted to do something really

different from what I usually do.

 

 

I have a love of gingham and decided

to try my hand at a gingham pattern.

There are many different patterns on the

internet, but I decided to make up my

own very easy version.

 

 

I crocheted it in rows and then sewed the

rows together.  It worked up really quick!

I used the half double crochet stitch throughout

because it gives it a nice weight.

 

 

The idea I had from the beginning was

that I wanted a shocking border color. 

Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn's

'Hot Rose' color was just what I wanted!

 

 

I just love the gingham effect it has!

I absolutely love playing with yarn and

experimenting with color!

I'm already wondering what to start

on next!

 

 

There's been a lot of sitting around this winter

and too many cookies, ahhh, the cookies . . .

I need to get back to my walking and hopefully

will be able to soon!

 

Have a wonderful week!

 

Twyla
