Mosaic Crochet: Costa Nova

 Yeah!!  I finally finished a project! 


Took some photos to celebrate!   Yes more leaves have fallen in the yard. 


The back is almost as pretty as the front.  I really like doing mosaic crochet...and it is simple and feels like art!! 

Since the finish I have started another mosaic project and thought about another....and Winter Wonderland should be worked on as it has been hanging around for about 10 months.

Yarn

 I pulled some yarn from my "stash" for my next project.   I am not quite ready to begin yet....but soon. 


Not sure about the Sunshine Yellow yet...it is a bit in your face.  The theme is Fall. The off white color (Stone) will be the background color and the designs will be colorful.

I inventoried all my Stylecraft yarn the other day and made yarn color pegs so I have no doubt about colors after  Far Guy winds the yarn into balls. 

I still have a bit to finish on my Costa Nova...but it is coming along.  Costa Nova is a mosaic crochet pattern, I used a size 3.5 hook and Sheepjes cotton yarn. 


The green houses and the colorful bobbers are finished...off to the next two parts...waves or maybe they are fish hooks?  and whales.

Progress

 I am making slow progress on my Costa Nova Mosaic crochet project.  I can only crochet so long before I get real sleepy. 


Cottages, beach umbrellas, light houses and fish.  The next part is more cottages they will be green. 

I am feeling a bit better...still tired.  I can stay awake longer...so that is an improvement. 

Yesterday I worked on fine sanding woodcarved Christmas Ornaments, twenty are ready to wood burn...then paint, then seal, then decorate and put names and year on them...it is a process.   Far Guy has carved about 67 over the summer and has about 33 to go.  So he will be busy until mid September.

Mosaic Crochet : Costa Nova

 This is one of the projects I am working on. 


This part one of the CAL (crochet a long), I am not sure how many parts there are...six maybe.  

The top part is supposed to be beach umbrellas.  Costa Nova is a small fishing village in Portugal. 

Here is my bucket of yarn.


It was a busy week, my eye appointment was okay...not great but okay.  I am still suspicious for Glaucoma and will have to be tested every six months.   My mammogram results are in and everything boob wise is just fine!   So I am done with Doctors for a bit.  What a relief! 

Far Guy is doing okay, he woodcarves every day.
