Strawberry Summer Still Going.....

Yesterday, I just was fed up with this tea cozy sitting there, not done...  I've been trying to finish projects I have started. Sigh...  This one is the biggest pain, too. The tea cozy part was actually easy. Once I figured out how to do it, and wrote it all down. The eighty flowers, and now the strawberries...  🥴 I have probably five more of the strawberries to crochet. I have all the flowers done.

Theres' just eight million ends to weave in, and sew two flowers together (three times)...  Which, I did all of that too. I took a picture of the two flowers sewn together but it is such a pain trying to upload pictures..  And, technically (I did the math while I was taking a shower this morning 😂) there was only 36 ends to weave in. But, it felt like 8 million.

I had been going through pictures on my phone, and found this. I don't even remember where I found this. Either Instagram or Pinterest.  That's the strawberry pattern I'm using. And I just chained 14 and didn't make a loop with it... Ugh.. Maybe someday I will get it all together. I can't remember what flower pattern I used. I need to get them all together for future reference. Even though I doubt I will ever make another one of these. It's too much of a pain! This is where I found the original tea cozy, although I just used the chart to get started. I had to basically wing the rest. I cannot find, or remember what the flower pattern I used was. ETA: I looked on Pinterest, and found one that looked like the one I crocheted (which is on Instagram 🙄): Crochet Daisy Pattern.  ETA: I am almost positive this is the actual flower pattern I used. It was in my emails (I send myself patterns so I can find them later...)

I just wanted to crochet one day, and I don't even know...  I just grabbed a ball of red cotton and green cotton out of the bag I have down here, and crocheted a strawberry hot pad for my kitchen. I used this YouTube pattern.  I crocheted a small strawberry keychain once that looks like this. I didn't take a picture of it though, I don't think.  I also don't know if I am going to do a strawberry chair cozy...  I hardly ever sit outside. And if I do, there's a place to put my drink and my phone.

I took a picture of how much this plant has grown since I repotted it. It just took off! And, a piece broke off so you know I couldn't throw it away... It's rooting with another piece of a different plant.
