A Garden Whirly Jig Crochet Pattern

Whirly Jigs move in the wind and help to keep birds

 out of the garden. And they bring color and fun

 to any garden area.

They are also beautiful! 

Yarn Bee / Hobby Lobby

Scrub-ology / Scrub it Yarn

This is my Favorite Yarn For stitching up projects

 for the garden. I purchased a bunch when it was on

 sale at Hobby Lobby at 30% off.

This Yarn is made of nylon. It is made to withstand 

water and wear.

It has bright colors and it's easy to work with.

 I will have some more projects made with this

 yarn coming for the garden.

If you do not have this yarn, And bulky (5) or

2 strands of Med (4) yarn will also work.

Lazy Daisy Chain Necklace Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach

Please, Add This Crochet Pattern To Your Ravelry Favorites.

Skill : Super Easy 

Materials :

Small amount of ANY yarn - 

Worsted weight, Cotton, Sport weight, threads -- 

Whatever you have on hand!

Hook that corresponds with the yarn used

I used a H / 5.00  hook and Acrylic med (4)yarn.

From 1st ch to petal is 4 inches, 

If you use a different weight yarn you will get different length.

Stitches : 

Chain: (ch)

Slip Stitch ( sl st)

Double crochet ( dc)

Pattern: 

Ch 13, dc in the 4th ch from the hook, 3 dc,ch2, sl st  in the same ch,

 ( 1st petal made)

Continue to work in the same ch, *ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st *

 Repeat From * to * 2 more times, 

for a total of 4 petals made.

 ch 13 after the 4th petal, and repeat until desired length.

I just tied the 2 ends together and wore it like a necklace, 

and I got lots of complements.

You stitch more chains between flowers, if you like.

When I wore the green one, everyone 

thought it was 4 leaf clovers.

This pink one I wore with my Easter outfit!

Got a  lot of compliments, too!

Here is another one I made a few years back, for a yarn 

Bombing project. I put 6 petals on these flowers.

 I even made Maximo and Rosie one to wear to the 
Doggie Dr.

This picture cracked me up because Rosie's Ear looks like

 its missing, And Maximo spotted the cookie bag!

What colors will you make With the Lazy Daisy Chain?

Gardening 2013

In an attempt to make a 

"New Healthier Me",

I have decided to start my garden.

I planted

 kale,

Kale is a Super Cancer fighter!!!!

Then I planted 

a Assortment of 

lettuce seeds.

Some 

Spinach Seeds,

And lastly, Some 

Cilantro seeds, 

I also plan to plant some tomatoes, 

cucumbers and 

sweet mini pepper plants.

But, Its too early for them.

I Know 

real exciting stuff!

But .....

Watch them grow!

Herb Garden

Well, it has been a little over a week

 since I planted my seeds for my herb garden.

As you can see there is some growth,

but a few seeds haven't come up yet.

This is Cilantro

My favorite Herb to grow and cook with!

This little tray is a pack I bought.

It contains, Cilantro, jal. papers, Tomatoes and lettuce.

I will transplant these to huge pots in the

backyard when they are ready.

These are the herbs I am growing in the pots on

The spiral plant rack.(pic above).

Spring is just around the corner!!!!
