Woodland Moss Apache Tears

I have finished another Apache Tears Afghan

I am calling this one Woodland Moss.

I'd rather have a crown like hers then ones with diamounds:

All of these inspiring photos below I found on Pinterest.

I have them pinned on my Muse-Woodland Color Board.

This is a great example of how cold marsh gray becomes warm when combined with warm shades of brown and bright orange..:

Nature herself came up with the perfect combination of colours. Such shades of brown and orange will look bright on a grass-green background colour, as bri.:

I am thinking of starting another with similar colors but using blues instead of the Carrot and Claret.

Cute Sheep!

Carnival Sugar Flowers

One of my Pinterest boards is titled "Muse- Carnival Sugar and it came in handy recently.

Here are a few of the pics I used for inspiration when I started my newest afghan.

#paperflower #photobackdrop @weddingchicks:

So sweet.

Fun sugary colors

For inspiration, art and design. Color match was made by nature. All color scheme are made by those, who love colors. You can use those pallets in wedding inspiration, wedding decor and in any design needs. More color pallets on color.romanuke.com.:

Candy confection kind of colors.

Frilly Degas Ballerina pastels.

Here is a link to the tutorial I used to make these pretty flower squares.

I have borrowed the clothes pin idea from one of my favorite blogs Attic 24. It should help the next time I run out of yarn and can't remember the name of the yarn color I need.

Sometimes assembly line is the best way to go.

First the flowers then the square borders.

Crochet them all together.

Then I went to town with the outer border and trim.

Here is a link to the pom pom trim pattern. It is new to me and I love it! So simple and fun to work up.

Rainbow Rug

Happy May Day! Here is a great big flower for you.

There is a fantastic blog named Attic24 that inspires me endlessly. Everything is warm and cozy on the inside and lush and damp on the outside. The pattern I used to make this rainbow beauty came from a pillow Lucy made on Attic24.
