I have just spent an incredibly lazy day on my sofa.
I'm not usually this inactive, but after one busy, busy week
I felt drained big time.
Breakfast in bed was a good start with lots of coffee.
Ella joined in with the general lethargy & slobbed out with me
Hey Sophie was right there too....where'd she go???????
Out came my yarn bag & something cute & quick to hook up
Love this pretty pattern over here at Made in K town.
It took me a few hours & I love it
I want to use it in the centre of a round cushion
With these fabrics
or this fabric
Trimmed with a pretty crochet edge, not just one though
Two or three........
Depends on how many pretty mandala's I hook up this weekend
See you soon
Have the best one ever
Lots of love Karen xxxxx
Looking good!

We call those kind of days a "rot out" day! Everyone needs them. I am having one too. I have a miserable cold!!! Hubby is golfing. I may go float on my raft in a minute.
ReplyDeleteLove the manila you made!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Karen! You caught me online when you wrote your comment right now. I'm glad you like the pattern and thanks for the link-back! By the way, these are beautiful pictures, I love your blankets!!
ReplyDeleteOooooh I'm so glad I woke up so early ... I got to sneak in some computer time and saw your post! I love your mandala - the colours are stunning!! I had just spotted that pattern too and was wondering what I could do with it. I can't wait to have a go. Yours is so pretty I'd want to hang it on the wall so I could smile each time I saw it. My husband has taken the kids away for the night so today is going to be spent sewing and crocheting with a girlfriend. The weather is rotten, the fire is on and I can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week gorgeous girl,
Leah

Dressing gown days, we call them! You need them sometimes I think.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern and am going to run over now and have a look. The colours are so pretty!

Oh how pretty! :0)
ReplyDeleteI could sure use a lazy weekend.
I hope it would be as pretty
as yours.
Isn't that cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a crochet feast for the eyes!! Love all your crochet and the lovely blankies too. xx
ReplyDeleteWe must have gotten the same inspiration as someone else blogged about this very same pattern so I bookmarked it yesterday to give a try. I was always confused about the term dc2tog but I think I understand it now. Maybe. :) Sometimes doing nothing is a very good thing. I did an hour walk this morning, collected some rocks and am about to crochet little jackets for them. Have a good Sunday. Tammy
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, loving your colours! Hope you feel nice and recharged after a lovely lazy day! xxx
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a PJ day every now and then.
ReplyDeleteI saw that mandala too, it's on my very long 'to do list'. Yours looks lovely, though.
Oooh, looks like my kind of day! The weather was awful here yesterday so we didn't do much either. Bliss! Look at those beautiful colours! xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Karen. It was very nice to have you visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think sometimes we have the right to just have a lazy day, after all most of the time we have so many things to do.
Your crochet looks lovely, I love the colors you chose.
Have a great Sunday.
Oh I need a weekend just like that!! It's been too much rush, rush recently. I love that mandala and now you have said you are going to make a cushion out of it, well, I think I might just copy that! I always thought the crochet mandalas were pretty but never even thought of making them into cushions durrr!!! Love it. Hope you are all keeping well. Much hugs sis. x
ReplyDeleteLovely - you can't beat a lazy Sunday!

Oooh, nothing better than reading under a crochet blankie. I wish I could go home from work and do júst that ;-)
ReplyDeleteEsther.
amazing :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hookiness! I am going to try that granny circlish cushion cover too!
ReplyDeleteHey that's gorgeous can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it and the colors are spot on, good old Stylecraft. I like the idea of mixing the crochet with the material to make a round cushion. Gosh I hope you got over your tireds, I can understand that feeling. Ella is so sweet coming over to my blog, bless her.

Good for you to recognize your need for rest! We too often ignore that urge out of guilt feelings when in reality we get more done in the long run by listening to our body's inclinations. Blessings to you, My Friend! Love those mandalas! Great color choices ;-)
