Gingerbread House

This is funny.

     I was so pumped, wanting to make a Gingerbread house for Christmas 2014, okay, I'm blaming life and the things that happen in life keeping me from finishing.

I found a pattern back in October 2014  and worked it to this point by Nov. 6, 2014

 

Still wondering how I would make this work, I decided to work the roof, hoping I could make the "what can I do with this yarn". Nov. 09, 2014.



 



By this time I was trying to figure out how to add the plastic canvas and just where I had stashed the clearance find.

 

 

 

Dec. 5, 2014 Found the plastic canvas and attached it but the house wouldn't stand like it should, found some foam board left from other projects, measure twice, cut once! Safety pins to the rescue. Now to figure how to keep the foam board house from collapsing, duct tape? Maybe.

Worked a roof from foam board, also crocheted a backing for shingles to slip over the roof panels.

 

 

 

We are on the downhill with a few days left to Christmas. Worked the front door, still needs attached.

 

 

Sizing up the roof. Dec. 6, 2014, still time.

 

 

Well this is how far I got still needs finished.

December 16, 2014

 

 

I put it away for now, yep, it's February 2015 but Christmas 2015 is only a few months away.

 

You can find the Gingerbread House at this link, Gingerbread house - free crochet.com

 

Be aware, this project will take some time and patience. The foam board instructions are not included I took it upon myself to cut them to the measurement given.

 

Good Luck, as you can see, I'm still working it.

 

til next time,

Book Pillow

Posting this a couple months late, I worked this Dec. 29 2014-Jan. 2, 2015

 

I couldn't believe I found this.

 

A book pillow

 

 

 

 

Perfect way to keep everything together, charging station, use in bed while resting.

 

I used leftover yarn as you can tell, no need to have more left over yarn.

It works up quick, sewing skills could be helpful, the next one I'll pay more attention and fill all the sides the same.

 

Here's a link to Wolf Crochet~ Part 1, Part 2 ~ Book Pillow

Yes it's in 2 parts, but easier to follow, you won't get lost wondering throught the pattern and become confused.

Only took a couple days to work up.

til next time,

Found this pattern around Christmas 2014, looks so pretty just had to try and work it. The pattern works quickly and pretty easy to follow.

I'm working one in Red Heart Super Saver, in Rouge, I love the color of this yarn. Hoping to have a fair entry. Also, trying to make it a little larger than the suggested 35 inches.

Will update soon.
