How to decorate your home with your crocheting projects



Image by Uwe Walker from Pixabay

Personally, I love crocheting and I have given away a lot of my crocheting from amigurumi to blankets and scarves. But this year, what if I don't just focus on gifts but also crocheting for my home. So I decided to share my home crocheting projects with you, so you too can decorate your home with cool crocheting decorations.

Although it is summer in Australia at the moment. I am in the middle of crocheting two blankets. One for my sister (been over a year in waiting) - a white one and one for me a multi-coloured pink yarn colour. Although, I don't want to stop there. This is how I envision my adult blankets. At least have two different coloured blankets for my lounge. Why two? So when I am cleaning one I have another blanket I can use in the interim. 

Also, these adult blankets are perfect for winter because the Acrylic yarn 3ply that I use, is incredibly warm. Unsure, where to find an adult blanket pattern. Check out one of my earlier blog posts here. I love that you can literally create all different moods with different yarn colours. 

I have a yellow sofa covering and a pink one. So I could yarn a yellow blanket to match. I honestly never thought of using bright yellow for an entire blanket. But why not have some fun with this? Or I could use white or maybe even a green?

I love pink, so yes, I could create a pink blanket. But I am making one already, which is multi-coloured. But I could make a pastel pink or a dusty pink blanket. Or why not even try different colours in the blanket? Like maybe start out with a dark pink, then a third way in, change to a dusty pink and then another third drop to a pastel pink? Experimenting with yarn colours is always fun and why not try something different?

I could also create a blanket to be used as a rug for the floor. Why not? Again, I would probably use similar offsetting colours to the sofa covering. But I probably wouldn't use white, because you might see the dirt easier. Although a shake off would help remove any dirt. Maybe a mood colour range of greens, would go well with the yellow sofa covering and maybe purples or blues with the pink sofa covering. 

I really want to create some cushions, maybe heart shaped. I did create tiny hearts for some gifts, so I just need to make much bigger - cushioned size. I could add some pastel pink or white or soft yellow coloured heart cushions and maybe make some for each of the beds in the bedrooms. 

But I am not finished yet in the lounge room. I would crochet and place in eye-view my favourite amigurumi projects I have crocheted. From koalas to unicorns. Maybe one or two of each. 

I wouldn't mind learning how to crochet some plants and flowers...so maybe that would look good in a vase? I would have to learn some new stitches, but may be this year I would be branching out and growing in crochet. 

Now to my bedroom. I would love another blanket on the end of my bed. Maybe 2-3 that are coloured blue, green and pink. I also would like a heart cushion or two or four on my bed. Hahaha. Plus maybe one amigurumi on the bed for cuteness and reminder of happiness before going to bed. 

Maybe some more cushions, they don't have to be hearts ... maybe square shaped in different colours to place on the floor when I would like to read or chill. 

So yeah, I guess this year and over the next few years... I will be crocheting more blankets!! How do you want to decorate your home with crocheting? Add in the comments below.

Reshuffling my craft space for scrapbooking

When you feel uninspired change up your craft space  So I haven’t been scrapbooking as much because I have a set of drawers with stickers, washi tape and other cool stationery and then I have my tub of scrapbooking paper in my cupboard.  I was thinking about what I could do to bring my scrapbooking closer. Here’s a photo of my tub of scrapbooking paper. Look how undesirable it looks. Inside I have large paper about A4 size and A3. Then I have 12x12 inch paper. Plus an ice cream tub full of scrap paper.  It just made me feel unsatisfied and what makes me excited to work on a hobby is that I can see the resources and get excited to get started. But this set-up was not empowering me. I started brainstorming about maybe making a craft space. I found a table from IKEA with draws on both sides that I could put my scrapbooking paper and accessories in as well as my diamond painting. I also found a desk backing which is like a three level high shelving that attaches to the table....

What supplies do you need for crocheting?

So you have started crocheting. Crocheting is super fun and sometimes tricky and sometimes hard. Also, once you get started and if you are like me, you will have multiple crocheting projects happening at once.  There is a logical reason for this. Because you can have multiple projects at once because you may take different projects with you when catching public transport and have to go somewhere. So a smaller, easier project to pack is ideal and also it gives you something to do while you travel. You may have bigger projects like blankets at home, because they are simply bulkier and heavy to carry. Plus, I prefer to crochet blankets at night, while I’m winding down and watching TV. Mainly because I don’t count stitches for my blankets.  So I tend to do crocheting arigumani in the morning or day time on the weekends, so I have a focussed mind to count those important stitches.  Ok, so that’s why you could have multiple crocheting projects. The other reason is you simply ge...

Should I buy a crocheting kit or just a pattern?

  Well, I have written about how cool crocheting kits are previously but do you need a kit or just a pattern? Let’s explore both: A crocheting kit A crocheting kit includes everything you need to make that crocheting project once. It includes the yarn, stuffing, crocheting hook, sewing needle and pattern. A crocheting kit is pretty cool.   As long as you can read a pattern and know the stitches short names to what they actually mean. Such as ch equals chain and sc equals single crochet. If you know the crocheting terms, then you can read a pattern. The good news about the kit, is you literally have all you need to make the pattern once. Sometimes these crocheting kits, have more than one object to make as well. The kit will include all the coloured yarn for each of the projects as well. Because I use a big crochet hook, 5mm and in the kits the hooks are generally 3mm or 3.5 mm, I also know I can’t use the yarn provided. Because using a bigger hook means I need more...
