The Lion Brand Yarn website is hosting a Crochet Along.
I have decided to do my project as a baby afghan in shades of blues.
Not sure yet who will get this project but for now I have started.
First I worked up my test blocks. There are three patterns and while I only have two of the yarns picked out, I worked up all three blocks.
The green will not be included in this project.
There are a total of 30 blocks needed and so far I have done 5 of them. I will try and update my progress weekly.
Michael had a wonderful 5th birthday. He only asked for a couple of things, anything from The Wiggles and a cowboy hat. Granny sent along the Wiggles shirt which he wore all day long and the cowboy hat came after dinner. I am pretty sure he slept in both.
This weekend the kids and I headed North to visit the family. We stayed a night at Van and Carolyn's place. They took us downtown to walk around and let the kids play in the fountains. We also took the kids to a place where they could make music. It was so much fun!
I have decided to start selling my craft items. I will be keeping a running slide show going of the items that I have available for sale right here on my blog.
If you see anything that you want, please let me know. And feel free to share my blog with anyone who you think may enjoy a home made item for the newest baby in their lives.
I am hoping that this will take off for me and with any money I make, I can help to put myself through college. More items will be posted just as soon as I finish them and I can also do custom orders.
This set was originally made with my niece Melissa in mind. However when the time came to give it to her, she decided to choose the one that was in shades of lighter pinks and browns. This one went instead to her best friend Amanda who is also expecting a daughter within a couple of weeks of Melissa.
Alyssa thought it was time for another haircut, and donated her hair to Locks for Love again. Her hair was not as long when she started out this time so it is a lot shorter than it ever has been. She likes it.
