rainbow granny square bunting ... ♥

i've been thinking about how things have been so busy.

my shop has picked up (so thankful :)

and family life, managing the house has proved more challenging

so much so, that i rarely spend time doing anything 

that's not shop/blog/cleaning/cooking related

and that's no good for me.

i need to create.

i need to make things just cause

for my home. for gifts. just cause.

not because i have to or because a deadline is approaching

(even though i love what i do)

i need to have my just cause time

it's good for a makers soul

so i'm trying to change a few things.
call it a night after the girls are in bed
from then on i can craft/relax until bedtime
watch a movie... whatever.

oh i know sometimes i'll have to work late

and Christmas is right around the corner

(shhhhh)

(you didn't just hear me say that)

but for the most part, at that time of night

i hope to make stuff

just cause.

this rainbow bunting is the first fruits of this new little endeavor

i used the granny square pattern that i found here

once you make a ton in all the colors you love

chain 10 for a beginning tail

 then single crochet into one of the corners and keep single crocheting

all the way across one side of the square

chain 5 in between each square, keep attaching them until you're done

then chain 10 again on the other end.

that's it

:)

happy weekend

happy crafting
