must do creating
mermaid costumes to be ready by the weekend.
prefer to do creating my almost complete vest
planned creating
tarting up this old workhorse and trying to restore her beauty.
the difficult part will be choosing a new identity for her. what do you think?
or
there are many more creative spaces to call in on, the list can be found at kootoyoo with thanks to kirsty

The vest is coming along nicely and that green yarn is beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do to pretty up your stool. I think the crochet top would look lovely but whatever you choose they are both pretty.

Oh, hmm, its tricky but I suggest the embroidery would be lovely. Either would be great though. What a fabulous stool-I really love the original spotty vinyl cover.

OOH! GRANNYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definately granny squares! I'm so jealous! I'm manifesting a great footstool to cover with grannies, so I'm totally biased!
Have a lovely day!XX
p.s Raymond is much more partial to apples strangely! :)

Loving all the looks of your creating, your grannies- the gorgeous looking vest in progress and whatever that is there at the bottom.xo

I love mermaids, the costumes look cool. I so want to touch that vest! And my vote is definitely granny squares.

love the colour of your vest and another vote for grannys on the stool.

Oh, I'm a sucker for a granny square. Love that idea!
I've been caught up in the must-dos and longing for the prefer-to-dos myself.

The fabric in the first photo just screams mermaid!
I can't choose between the covers - maybe make both and interchange them for the seasons?

Oh my goodness, what a great space you have Michelle. I love it all. And I think the grannies will be gorgeous on that stool. I've seen a few around that are like one big granny that look amazing. I hope you're having a great week.

Mermaid costumes, I like the sound of these - they would be very popular in our house :)

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for popping into my blog. I will enjoy having a look through yours. I know what you mean about preferred activities. I have to make a nurses outfit for dressing as someone who helps the community for Friday. I'd much rather be knitting or crocheting.
Have a great week.
Carmel
