With images and ideas of hats and booties whirring around my head all week, I decided that this weekend I would take some time out and do something quick and fun. Whilst blog surfing Friday evening I found a link on the Tangled Happy blog for some crochet jar covers, the tutorial can also be found here at Nature nut notes, there's a link on their side bar.
The white yarn used on the tutorial looks beautiful when the jars are used as tea light holders, but I'm trying to add a little more colour to my home, so I wanted something brighter.
I took inspiration for the colours from my beautiful blinds....
and here they are.....
3 pretty jars, waiting to be used.
For today they will live together on my windowsill adding some much needed colour to another grey and drab day.
Speak soon xx

What a fun idea.
I was hoping for my boys to have a snooze this afternoon so I could do something creative but not a chance. Even the baby has only slept for an hr!
Take care. . .

Your colorful jar jackets turned out so beautifully. I did this once but they didn't fit quite right. Will have to give it another go. We had two gray days in a row but blue skies today. Yea! Wishing you blue skies and sunshine. Tammy
