F.O Friday !! A Granny shrug , Patchwork pillow and Recycled tshirts for teddys !!

well today is a bit of a tad ah !!! moment for me ! Ive made a granny shrug which I'm very proud of and i love to wear .An easy crochet pattern which is so quick to do that I'm tempted to make more, also can be a child's shrug as well you just don't do as many rows as the adults. I used a 12mm hook to get the tension i wanted.
pattern is here:http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/granny-shrug-2

Ive also been at my new sewing machine this week ,I've made a patchwork cushion .

and my children kept asking for clothes for their teddy bears like the "build a bear ", so we found old Tshirt's of theirs which involved lots of Tshirt's flying about their room while they hunted !!

The result isn't brilliant but my children are happy ! I did added a little patchwork heart to the girl Teddy's Tshirt .

W.I.P but how many ???

OK i have a confession to make, last night my husband said to me as i was happily crocheting in front of the TV . What are you doing now ? a cushion cover i started ages ago i reply ! he then said just how many started but unfinished projects have you got ?
HHHMMMMM good question......
So here goes ........
firstly the cushion cover.....

A Dream catcher and Januarys leap year blanket.

I loved a square in the leap year blanket that I did so much that I turned it into a dream catcher for my daughter.

I love it !! the pattern which i adapted for the dream catcher and have used in my leap year blanket is 

The dream weaver square.

Here's the square in my blanket.

Some other parts of the blanket.
