I confess, I am easily distracted! I have a wonderful list of projects to work on, then I see something I like and off I go in a different direction. Recently, Laura over at Love the Bluebird has been crocheting mandalas. First I saw them popping up on her instagram. Hers are sweet and pastel and pretty. I loved them. Started looking up tutorials on Pinterest, checked out some links on her blog. Next thing I knew I was digging in my yarn stash and crocheting in circles! Of course, there are no pastels to be had in my stash. So I started with brights & maybe, just maybe, I will be adding some pretty pastels to my collection (so much for using what you have, right?)
First I whipped up this one (tutorial here)....
UPDATE!
I actually found a few pastelly, dainty colors and whipped up a third mandala today! Want to see? of course you do!
This tutorial was really easy to follow and the most fun to make so far! You can find it here, at Attic 24.
This is a bit addictive! Thanks for the inspiration Laura!

The Mandala's are awesome Ellyn! Good job. I love the colors.
These turned out great!
I have been looking at those! How pretty! Now you have drawn me to yet another project! Blessings!My workmate is moving to to San Antonio in July, I sent her your blog! She is very crafty too!
These are so cool! I love all the different combos of colors! What will you use them for, or will the be used to become something else? ooooh… they would look really pretty on top of some plain fabric in a hoop and on the wall :)
