Gloria, my new chair

Found this peach MCM style armchair at the thrift store yesterday, and I'm still in shock. She was only $22.99!

She came with these arm covers that are fairly unfinished on the inside. No identifying tags or markings that I can find.

I'm curious if she is old or new. Any insights are appreciated!

First time trying freeform crochet, want to make my first blanket

I've been crocheting for about 4 years now. I typically like making wearables. I don't usually follow a pattern. I've done some amigurumi. Started a blanket one time, got bored, called it a scarf.

My dog passed last week and I wanted to crochet but didn't feel like following a pattern. I've made more clothes than I am able to wear.

I also have more worsted weight acyrlic yarn then I know what to do with. Most of it aquired from when I was just starting out crocheting. Not very suitable for wearables aside from your chunky winter sweater or beanies. It's 90 degrees where I am. I prefer the look of cotton yarn for amigurumi.

So I just started doing whatever I felt with my acyrlic yarn. And I think im going to make a one of a kind blanket. What do you think so far?

Dottie crossed the rainbow bridge

Yesterday I had to lay my best friend to rest. She was so special and had such a big personality. There is a gaping hole in my heart.

It would mean a lot if anyone could draw her for me.

Today she crossed the rainbow bridge

I had to put my dog to rest today and I am here alone in my apartment with the biggest hole inside my heart. She was my world.

I thought it might be nice to take any and all responses and print them off and put them in my journal.

It would mean a lot to me to see her drawn by this community.

The Tomato Sandwich

This was actually so good. Threw in some spinach and red onion. Used veggie cream Cheese. I love how we are all collectively having tomato sandwich meals this week and wanted to share mine!
