granny squares

After a fabulous granny square session at Brown Owls last weekend I thought I'd share some granny square goodness I came across on my travels.

And this sweet little flowery granny square coaster was made at the Brown Owls meet up and gifted to me by Needa, hehe :)

If you're in Brisbane and you want to learn to granny get on the Brown Owls craft group mailing list.

(There's loads of other Brown Owls chapters in all parts of the world too!)

Happy Grannying! 

granny + coffee

These two go together nicely after a long day.

Check out the other grannies here, I'm so impressed by the amazing colour combinations.

And if you'd like to come and play on facebook edward and lilly now has its own page! Pop over, become a fan and (if you have one) leave me a link to your page too :)

A granny a day

There I was so in love with my granny squares, treasuring each and every one I made (yep all 3 of 'em), proudly holding each one up to show the big love while he was trying to work... until I had a really good look through A granny a day flickr pool.

I hope mine look that neat and pretty one day. And with only 3 colours of yarn I'm thinking I need to come up with some more inventive photo shoots so I don't bore the heck out of you all.

I like this one from Sarah London, I wish chocolates fell out of my pencil case when I opened it, or the one that coordinates beautifully with Bundaberg Sugar packaging, yeah that's a nice one. Pip puts retro/vintage stuff with hers, I like that too. And there's something about Kirsty's that make me want to eat sticky caramel chocolatey things and drink coffee.

Hmmm... how many different objects could I photograph a granny with?

A Granny A Day

My name is Rebecca and I'm a granny-a-holic.

Ok, I confess while I don't have time to do a granny a day I am definitely finding this addictive. I can knock one over in an hour now. Em, what have you done to me??? Don't worry I'm still sewing, but more on that later...

Check out all these grannys.
