~ a coaster and baby blankie 18b ~

I finished up this plastic canvas mug coaster this morning.  It measures 4" square and the colors match my dining room.  I love the little pink button with the dots (if I remember correctly, I bought it from Walmart).  I used to work with plastic canvas a long time ago - I might have to get back into it and work some small projects - it's very quick and easy to do.

This is another baby blankie that I finished last night.  Actually, the crocheting part was finished 2 nights ago - I finished weaving in the ends last night - took me the whole evening.  Again I say, what a pain in the rear. 

It measures 22 1/2" x 28" and I crocheted it with Loops & Threads Impeccable in white and grey.  The pink is a discontinued Red Heart Sparkling.  The pattern is basically the same as the Purl Bee's, except I used double crochets instead of single crochets.  Here is the link to her pattern:

Thanks for dropping by and have a great crochet day.  :)

  4. I agree 100% about weaving in the ends, what a pain. I am thinking I could probably make a job of that, telling folks to mail me their crochet and knitted things and I will charge a few bucks to tuck in the tails....it might get to be too much to bear after awhile, lol. I see you crocheted another winner, sweet baby blankie!

  16. Odd I see this post as yesterday I was just telling the hubs that I should definitely pick up plastic canvas again for some smaller projects like table mats and coasters for the house. FUN! The blanket looks great :)

  20. I haven't done plastic canvas for years! Used to always be my summer project when crocheting was too "hot"
    I just had all my craft "things" out during my projects this weekend and I saw ALLLLL my books, etc and definitely need to get back into it as well! Nice to see someone else who enjoys doing plastic canvas :o)
