In My Studio – July 2
.
Here’s what I’ve been doing in my studio:
I finished the flowers I made in June by giving them pretty centers.
Â
I did the piecing work for my crazy quilt pouch.
I made my first attempt at the Blogville Ladies Crochet Society’s July project…a potholder.
See that ripple? I didn’t pay careful attention to counting my rows, so one side was larger than the other.
I found this clever little device to help me keep count. I put it on a cord so I can wear it around my neck.Â
If you’d like to learn to crochet, please join us. This is only our second project, so you have plenty of time to catch-up. Our first project was a dishcloth.
I finished June’s project for the 2012 Creative Color Challenge. Each month, I’m making a yarn vase for the challenge.  June’s color palette was Red & Roses.

A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

Wow. You have been busy! I love how you finished off all the flowers–
Always so busy!

Boy your pot holder turned out great!
Are you sure you don’t have 28 hours in your day? It’s great to be able to look at your flowers and say, ” I know how they’re made!” 🙂
Oh, I love all of your finished products! Just when I think your things can’t possibly get any prettier, they do!
You’ve been busy! I love the colours you’ve chosen for your patchwork purse – it’s going to be great!
How have I managed to miss all these posts? Blogger is a strange thing.
Your potholder is so gorgeous! I love the colours. Mine had a bit of a bend to it also so I needed more stitches around too.
Love the vase, what beautiful colours!

I really like the potholder you made. I clicked over on the link you provided to the online crocheting group. After my daughters are done with 4-H projects (on Wednesday), I’m going to see if I can attempt a half-decent crocheted potholder. It has been a long time since I crocheted the basic stitches. Would enjoy gaining more skill with crocheting. Thanks for posting the link.
