Farmhouse Rose Afghan

Excitably working on a pattern for this afghan:

It's called the Farmhouse Rose Afghan.
It was inspired by our little red Scandinavian house in the woods.

(Update - The pattern is now available and can be found by clicking here.)

See tomorrow's post for the inspiration. :-)

Diagonal 3D Granny Rose Rainbow Candy Pillow

Oh what fun to play with bright colors!
This pillow was made with the 3D Granny Rose Pillow pattern found here.
(A pattern that includes over eight short videos for step-by-step instruction.)
With the following adjustments:

Only one large square was crocheted (23 granny rows), then the corners were brought together 
and the edges were sc'd together.
 A 3D rose in the center was sewn on where the corners meet.

And these Stylecraft Special DK colors were used:
Bluebell is crocheted every other row. 
It fits in a 20" x 20" pillow form.
(And those pillow forms are just $2.99 at IKEA as of this writing!)

What would you think about making one in your favorite colors?
I would love a photo!

Please purchase the pattern here.
Resulting in an overflow of gratitude!

Have a colorful day and,
