I've made some progress on the crazy hanky patchwork block. There is now an area with stars and phases of the moon created by coloring in parts of the circles with a black inktense pencil.

| phases of the moon |

| the stars are out and the grass has grown |
There is a little pocket created by an open edge of an embroidered cloth bit and i decided to hide a couple of stars inside. A friend reminded me of the song from long ago....CATCH A FALLING STAR....and it follows with...AND PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET. so appropriate here and I used to sing that song all the time. I know I'm dating myself here. A wonderful song....it's
HERE.

| created 2 stars with sparkly beads all along the edge |
Hope to finally use these brushes this week using a left over onion skin dye bath. I figure if I tell you about it here, it will force me to do it. I've been wanting to for a long time.

...and this is on the way to the birthday girl. I do love it and may have to make one for myself.

Have a great weekend.

wonderful post Deanna. The brushes are works of art, beautiful and I know anyone would be delighted to receive the gorgeous scarf.
I hope there aren't too many rainy days coming up when you'll need that star..
After I read this post, I had to leave the computer for a few minutes....yes, I was singing the song..."never let it fade away"...
Love the scarf and your phases of the moon using the inktense pencils...genius!

Scarf turned out beautifully! Love that there are stars so many places...
The crazy hanky blanket is going ot be interesting. I like the growing grass as well as the stars. The brushes are wonderful - even without paint on them. And the scarf is something qute special Make one for yourself, too, and then I would like to know how it is worked. Did you tell you got the pattern from Ravelry?
cute pocket and the stars. beautiful scarf! you should definitely make one for yourself.
Could you make me one of those scarves too pse lol its smashing!
Love the moon phases - you've reminded me that I bought some Intense last November at the Harrogate show ............. wonder where I put them!!
Of course, I like your star sprinkling! Cute idea for the pocket stars. I remember that song, too.
Yes it is a great song and a good fit for your creative cloth. The scarf turned out beautifully, I bet the birthday girl/guy will love it. And those brushes are gorgeous, can't wait to see what you do with them.
The phases of the moon are my fav ... will keep in mind the use of the inktense pen
omg those brushes are divine!!
and so is the noro scarf
Love the moons and the pocket idea and those brushes have me wondering what new technique is coming up....I know I'm going to like it. The scarf is gorgeous, you're in the FLOW, Deanna!
Not sure which of these things I like more! Have wanted to knit with the Noro yarns, so it's nice to see a finished project to be reminded that they ARE beautiful.
The stars are gorgeous! The whole piece has a real idyllic childhood bedtime feel to it.
Such a great idea for the moon and stars pocket. Your scarf is so very lovely.
