    Wait! Wait! Wait a minute, you can’t leave me hanging like this. Sorry, mind my manners, hello Leslie. How do you finish the end of your baby blanket, without the ends coming loose. Sorry for the dumb question, but I’ve never seen this before, it looks so cool. I’d love to make a blanket or two for my granddaughter’s dolls, she would love that. Thanks Patricia 🙏🏻

    Murdle reminds me of the game CLUE. Like the tile project. Also the blanket loopy yarn!!

    Thanks for sharing these great ideas. After I watched your video - I jumped on Amazon and ordered the Murdle book. The "time change" happens in a couple of weeks and the days are getting shorter and this will help to pass the time and occupy my mind when colder weather gets here. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Thanks, again!

    I love the loopy yarn! I've made several afghans and they turn out beautiful! I just makeup my own pattern. The stitches can be a knit or a pearl stitch! I can crochet but this is faster 👍🥰

    • @colleensmith3374
      @colleensmith3374 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Sheila- how many loops do you start with for an afghan? Thx

    • @sheilahackney6214
      @sheilahackney6214 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@colleensmith3374 Usually I do 50 loops and I use 6 skeins of yarn.. I've also done 70 loops and 7 skeins. Just depends on how big you want it. My 50 loops was about 42X52.. 6 skeins)

    I especially love making coasters. I normally use napkins or scrap book paper,
    Thinks like that. I have the iod's & will have to try this.
    Also the loopy yard one. Ive only made wreaths, pumpkins & Christmas trees with it 😊

    I do crossword puzzles and I think Murdle would be fun and keep the old brain active 😂 I play the game Home Design which looks at lot like the one you do. That blanket looks like fun but I’m afraid I’d get part way and give up. Maybe not with that but I embroidered one pillow case and never finished the other 😬 Evie is so cute, my dog 🐩 would like nothing more than treats, and more treats ❤

    More great ideas Leslie! I think I'd like Murdle and might give that a try. I've seen the decor app and thought about trying it but I'm too competitive and would probably wind up not being satisfied with my choices and spend money!😅 I'm really liking your crafty gift ideas! I'm hoping to get creative this year.❤

  • @amyberg1413
    @amyberg1413 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These are all excellent ideas! I love the idea of Murdle. It reminds me of the board game Clue we used to play when we were kids! Anything to keep the old brain sharp! I used to use the designer app and was totally addicted for awhile. I found that when you begin they "let" you win competitions to get you hooked. Also without spending money your options get pretty slim and it gets frustrating. I did love playing though. Definitely worth trying. I have never seen how Cricut works and am very intrigued. I love DIY creative projects. I will have to look into it further. I will watch your video. The coasters look like fun and yes, what a great gift idea! Thanks for the variety of ideas Leslie, perfect timing with the cold weather just around the corner in NY!
