Flower Pattern

I just sat down and worked up this pattern. I in no way intend to infringe on any copyright. If you have this pattern copyright, please let me know and I will remove this post. Your pattern must be word for word like mine and date posted must be clear.

You will first need to make a magic ring. I think this is the nest way to start a circle and you can find it here: Magic Ring

I used an H hook and kitchen cotton. You can used any size yarn and hook to make any size you like. Gauge is not important.

OPEN FLOWER

Rnd 1: ch 3 (counts as 1st dc and throughout pattern) dc 23 into center of ring. Draw up snug but not over tight as you can adjust to your desire. sl st into 3rd ch of beg ch 3.

Rnd 2: sl st between the ch 3 from rnd 1 and the first dc. ch 5, dc in space between dc and ch 3 from rnd 1. ch 1 *skip 3 dc and dc in space between thrd skipped dc and next dc, ch 2 and dc in same space, ch 1*, repeat* to * 6 more times for a total of 8 V's . sl st in the 3rd chain of beg ch 5.

Rnd 3: sl st into space of 1st V of rnd 2. ch 3, dc in same space, ch 2, 2 dc in same space. ch 1 *2 dc in next V space, ch 2, 2 dc in same sp, ch 1*, repeat * to * 6 more times. sl st into 3rd ch of beg ch 3.

Rnd 4: sl st into next dc, sl st into ch 2 sp from rnd 3. ch 3, 6 dc in same sp, sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 3, * 7 dc in next ch 2 sp, sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 3*, repeat * to * 6 more times, sl st into 3 ch of beg ch 3. Fasten off and weave in ends.

MORE CLOSED UP FLOWER: differences only from Open flower:

Rnd 3: between each set of *2dc ch 2 2 dc* sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 2

Rnd 4: sc between 7 dc is into sc of rnd 3


Note: Differences are intended to be subtle, but are evident. *wink* Picture 1 is open and picture 2 is closed.

Wine, Women & Wool Thursday

I finally went back and took the picture again!!! 14.01 a gallon for gas??? really???actually the sign is slid too far to the left but at first glance, it looked as if the price of gas had skyrocketed out of belief!!! Who sets the price per barrel anyway? Where is this person and how do we organize an old fashioned Texas lynching??? Seems everyday it is rising and no one is doing anything to stop whomever sets the price. Someone send me a link to how the price per barrel is affixed and let me see what we can do....I know some good old boys!!!
My BF's Mother has been here all week. We have had a good time plus she drives a sporty little Sky from Saturn. It is red hot and a convertible. I have the sun burn marks to prove it!
Craft news: I frogged an entire sock I made. Yep didn't like the way it looked so frogged it all. I am either nuts or just crazy. I sent out my exchange squares for my Barefoot crochet group this week. I forgot pictures so nothing to show for my hard work. *doh* I finished side front #2 on my halter top and will be buying lining and more yarn at the Hobby Lobby near me to finish it up. I may not look fabuloso in my halter but I bey it will be cool and comfy!!! I am also working on a small purse from nylon again. It is multi-colored and I hope will be done soon as I am tired of looking at it...same goes for my beaded nylon bag. Tedious work for sure! I am sure I will enjoy it when done though.
OK off to clean up the kitchen *YUCK* but it has to be done!
Peace to you all & be well!!!

I need to blog more often!

I had a wonderful picture to share with you and I accidentally deleted it. I am heart sick. It was quite funny. Oh well on to other matters. It has been a while since I blogged. I just cant seem to make it a priority. I have a picture of my newest knitted dishcloths.The red, white & blue one has a tulip design in it (photos dont do justice) and the yellow one has a baking theme on it. These came from KAL in a group I am in. If you are interested in the group/patterns let me know. I just love dishcloths.I could make a hundred of them and may end up that way.
I am making strides in getting my house organized and things given away to freecyclers. I like that the things get new homes. It makes me feel more green.Look up the organization in your area it is a great way to pass along old items that may be treasures to others.
OK I am whipped from a long day of cleaning house. I am off to crochet and cook supper. Peace and many blessings to you all.

Girl's Day Out---Sex & The City

OK saw it!!! LOVED it!!! Laughed, cried, laughed some more. I sat in horror and disbelief and sighed with joy. I hated to see it end. Good news is I saw it with 8 other women I knew or met for the first time through friends....and had a fabo time!
OK so a lot is going on. My new fridge is being delivered tomorrow and I am so excited I cannot think straight!!! Very very happy day. Shhhhhhhh but my socks are coming along and the deadline is so close now I am skeered to think about it. Why do I always do this? Last minute stuff makes me crazy. I frogged 16 rows of heel flap and cursed the stooooooopid mistake I made...LOL it is all good now!!!
I was just approved for an online exchange so I will be getting busy with those designs very soon too. It is a dishcloth exchange with a food theme. I am up for a challenge & except all ideas you find. I am thinking of designing one of my own! How crazy is that?
If I can figure out how to get the pictures to my computer, (camera & I are having problems), I have pretty new things to show off.
OK enough for now, I need sleep so time will fly by to my fridge delivery time...LOL
Be well and peace is possible if we all believe!

My Oh My What a Wonderful Day!

It is a beautiful day in Fort Worth. I could not be happier. My sister is in town and that is a PLUS!!! I cannot wait to spend a lot of fun time with her!

My HORRORscope for the day said (and I quote)
Issues of trust may be dramatized now, especially if you believe that someone is withholding some information from you. There are those who have complete faith in you and are willing to share their deepest secrets. But others may say unpleasant things behind your back and there's not much you can do about it. Consider the source of what you learn and just spend time with those who you can trust.

Isn't it great that our lives are blessed by so many personalities? My goodness how boring if everyone were like us! Love those who treat you with respect and equality and keep your eyes out for those who don't.
I am still knitting my secret project and I finished my squares for my exchange partner. I am trying to work on a sweater for my dog, but think I should use a pattern and not try to develop one just for her. My idea is good just not fine tuned....it is always a learning process this thing we call life.
I will be lining purses very soon so the sewing machine will be out and smoking. Laugh if you must, but I am determined to get past this waiting game my purses seem to get caught in. Cross your fingers and hope you too can finish unfinished projects. You KNOW you have some!!! *wink*
OK off to the races where dishes are clean and laundry is folded....now we put them away..LOL!
Be well & may Peace be with you always!

Long time no see. I have been busy with real life and sometimes that takes priority. No problem though...I like a bit of reality in this crazy fend for yourself world. The picture to the left is a hedge near my home. I feel like this bush many times and just laughed so hard I had to share.
What had been going on? I have been knitting, crochet, cleaning house & emptying boxes and sorting my art supplies. I am trying to get down to the bare bones on some of my craft stuff. So hard. There are so many things I enjoy.
I have been also playing a lot of hours in Pack Rat. We finally got a lawnmower that will work and I lost 3 to 5 trees in the ordeal. I should have marked them better when Ed planted.
Speaking of plants, one of my Valentine roses bloomed in time for Mother's day. It is a pink beauty and smells like a wonderful old rose (not the phony ones today with no scent). I also had great luck with my Moon Flower.
I included pix pf those too. I will be getting back to my picture taking as I have missed it so much.
Nothing else exciting going on here & I like it that way. Happy Mother's day to all Moms and I hope it was a great one!!!
Be well & Peace to you all
