Sunshine on my pillow...



♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥


...it's been so warm in our corner over recent days and the sun 
has certainly shone brightly over my workroom
...I've ended up happy with my unplanned cushion...

I enjoyed just making decisions as I worked...
(and it feels good to make something again from yarn that's too beautiful to leave in a basket)


starting off with just a little daisy flower...

which then became a square... then more daisy squares...


the back relied on the yarn leftovers 
(and the little yellow daisy in the centre marks the arrival of our
little puppy Miss Daisy who I introduced a few posts ago...)




One side has an opening with clear fasteners on the inside
(because I know otherwise I'll regret not doing it when the day I need to wash it  arrives :-) )


and it's hidden behind the border 
which is just small...simple...pretty






...and now...
 I have the excuse to buy some new yarn 
and make another one...in different colours...
... I'm off to do some shopping ... :-)

♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥♥


...happy weekend all...

...back soon...

    Delightful, Susan! I love the way you've paired it with your blue blanket. Did you have the pillow form on hand? The yarn looks luscious!

    Blessings,

    Hello Susan - what a truly lovely cushion you have made, and in such beautiful colours. I had never really crochet before, always knitting or sewing, but seeing the lovely things you have made gave me enthusiasm to try - so I taught myself to crochet a year and a half ago, and have never looked back!
    I hope you enjoyed your shopping trip and bought more beautiful yarn!
    Have a wonderful weekend!
    Love,
    Lynda.

      Thank you Lynda...it's lovely to read how you're enjoying your crochet...it's great isn't it?...I love that it's so easy to improvise...I'm planning to make this again and take a bit more notice of yarn amounts ect. ...this really was a 'let see where it goes' project and I think that's why it turned out to be so enjoyable to do ♥...Happy Weekend ;-) xx

    This crochet design, with it's hidden closing is very clever, and the colors you've chosen are harmoniously lovely. Cool neutral shades look very good as summer spreads its heat.
