Week 1 (A bit late)

So, this week was CRAZY.... my life its self has been turned upside down!!!!  But everything is getting straightened out!!!  I was sick on Monday so I did not post them, and I actually posted these on Pinterest for my group on Sunday (Just in case they did not want to see the disaster that I heard was the super bowl)

I did my 4 squares, and posted 3 more to make 7, for those who want to do 1 a day, or if you did not like one, you are not stuck with it.

The first one, the purple and blue one, kinda fun, funky...

When I did it, I did not realize I was doing the same colors  lol, and I did my last 2 the same color (Purple), but now I am wishing I would have switched it.

The blue and pink one, I really like how it turned out!!!  I did change it up a bit.  Instead of doing the lace type border, I just did one more round, making it the same size as my others.

The next one was really fun (although I have not put a face on it yet, or the buck teeth I will add extra), Since it was groundhogs day Sunday, I thought this would be great, and since the dang thing saw his shadow (Although it seems backwards to me... If he sees his shadow, it should mean it will be more sunny right????  IDK) I made my background for him grey and cloudy, like winter.  The pattern says bear, but throw on some buck teeth, and BAM!!!! ground hog  lol

The last one is just simple and pretty, but it does teach the cluster stitch, which is a fun stitch, and good to know!!!
