Okay... so what were you doing before breakfast this morning? Having seen some rather fantabulous crochet covers for coat hangers on
Dottie Angel last night... together with instructions... I had my hook and yarn out by 7.30 am. By breakfast time I'd finished this.
Now I'll be the first to admit it's more than a little less than perfect... and where I should have had thirteen shells I ended up with twelve so it's all a little stretched. But I still rather like it... and would like to make lots more except this was the only wooden coat hanger I could find.
Which is just as well really as I've a deadline in two weeks time and instead of crocheting coat hangers I should be working on my final fashion designs and samples.
So if you see me lurking on here over the weekend please send me back to my drawing board with a slapped wrist and a stern talking to. Hope you have a happy weekend!

How funny is that...saw the very same thing and am on to it!!!
Take care
I hear your procrastination you know. My house was never so organised and tidy as it was during the revision prelude to exams.
But a break is always beneficial..... just depends how long it is!
The fashion stuff is looking really, really good!
I'm sure your short crochet session before breakfast refreshed you for the rest of the day, and you have a super hanger to display your fashion items on!
lovely crochet - can't believe you started it that early tho!!! Good luck with your studying!

I agree with Heather - I'm sure it put a spring in your step for the rest of the day :) I'm terrible at (not) getting the things done I should be, but instead speeding ahead with the things that make me smile :) Have a great weekend :)
Hey, we all need crocheted coathangers. Just think how good all that padding is for the shape of your clothes!
As the saying goes "A change is as good as a rest" lovely crochet. Jane x
Crochet at 7.30am !! I'm impressed. I am very naughty when it comes to putting thngs off, so I won't slap your wrist if I see you in blogland. I'll just go ahem, cough cough. Is that ok?

Dottie angel is enough to get us all into bad ways - in the nicest possible way! Lovely hanger! I found a pattern today for knitted covered hangers from the 60s so was going to have a go at that.
I think its lovely, I too am short of coathangers like that...charity shop raid I feel...
Blogland is a great displacement activity, isn't it Gina? It wasn't around when I had deadlines, but the garden centre WAS! :O))))))))))))))))
Wow, action woman or what Gina?!! Well done you x
Such a lovely coat hanger and it's better than cooking at that time of day.
love that skirt, bottom left. please can you make me one?
Love the coat hanger! Its hard to find nice ones so I might make some of them one day!

there is nothing like a serious deadline looming to make the mind wander! I'm sure you'll get organised in plenty of time though and those are rather deliciously lovely coathangers - well worth the distraction!
You are truly amazing Gina! How do you manage to fit so much into one day. Who else is up crocheting before breakfast on a Sunday morning?
For goodness sake woman, I was still in bed at 8.30 ... I wish my sketchbook pages looked like yours!
Aren't diversionary crafts always the most beguiling?
Love the hanger.
Ha! You're back again with those cute hangers. (Can you tell I'm reading your posts in reverse order?) Nope. It wasn't Dottie Angel. They were done in red and white and I can see the picture....
