I love crocheting little cottages; one of the first "big" projects I ever made was a cottage from a pattern in an old Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It was made of dozens of little crocheted pieces that were supposed to be attached to a plastic canvas frame, but my husband used the pc pattern to cut out a frame from plywood. I covered the plywood with muslin, and then sewed the crocheted pieces to it.
Through the years, I have designed several little cottages myself.
This is a set I designed for Annie's Attic back in the 90's.
And this is my English Country Cottage Cozy. I love the little kitty!
And this is my Sweetheart Cottage. It is one of the "Grandmama's Favorite Decorative Potholders and Hot Pads" set.
I am planning to design another cottage for Christmas; it will be a gingerbread house, of course. I think it would be fun to make Hansel and Gretel and an old witch to go with it. I hope to have it ready this year, but if not, then there is always the next!
(and is anyone else having trouble posting to blogger lately? I have struggled for almost an hour just to get 3 pictures and this post to look right!)
