Target Goes French!

Walking through Target I saw a display of kitchen utensils and with them was a tea towel, that looked like a grain sack.  I don't really have $60 dollars for a real grain sack pillow, but I have a bunch of pillow forms and a stash of Lenda curtains that are linen-like.  I put them together to make this cool pillow.  The towel was $3.99! 

I was very anxious last week, and you can tell by the quantity of work I completed.  The more nervous, the more work.  (The 9/11 anniversary, having a daughter working in Manhattan and a husband flying for business, and I am a worrier...I come from a long line of em!)  I found this pattern on the Lion Brand site, under washcloths.  I'm thinking of making these as gifts for Christmas. 

 I crocheted with regular kitchen cotton, and was pleased with the results.

We attended a small flea market to benefit a local school's music program.  I was drawn to these prints and at 25 cents each I have some art for my office.  The picnic basket was $2 and I cannot pass up that kind of a bargain.

This print is my favorite, reminds me of Sea Fever, a poem by John Masefield...
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by... 
I'm not sure why I know this poem, but it popped into my head as soon as I saw this print.

                                      

More projects soon.  A crafty outing today at a crafty friend's.  Yeah!
