Mandala Madness Part 2...

I made this mandala with Lily and Cream cotton yarn. I really like the color combination.

I have a friend who loves to run so I made her this bib and medal display for her birthday.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

Mandala Madness...

I have been crocheting a lot the past couple of weeks. And, my main focus has been mandalas. I will be sharing them with you over the next few days. You can check out my Instagram if you are interested in what I am doing on a more regular basis.

I made the first two mandalas with the yarn I bought from Hobby Lobby. I also made a granny square doily. And then I made some crochet roses following the pattern I found on Attic24. They are so cute. I put a pin back on the yellow one so I could wear it - I get a compliment on it every time. They are really fun to make, you should give it a try.

I made this one for a friend...

I wanted to do something with granny squares. I made this one up as I went along...

Birds...

I have a new bird feeder in my backyard.

I am so happy about it too. In the past we have had bird feeders but the seed that falls always sprouts and it's so hard to get rid of what grows. We recently found a little store not far from our home that sells "clean seed" that doesn't do that. I bought a finch feeder and within 30 minutes of putting it up, we had our first visitor.

One week later, there are a lot of little goldfinches hanging around. We also got a few samples of a different type of clean bird feed for the sparrows and doves to eat. Now, all the little birds drink and bath in our pond's waterfall and eat their fill at the feeders.

I love birds and I'm so happy to see them in the backyard.
