Slow Progress and a Box of Goodies

I'm still working away at Ireland's blanket

I'm trying to be creative with the squares, which is making this a slower project than I would like. Who am I kidding? Even if every square were the same, it would be a slow project for me.

Sorry for the photos, I snapped these with my iphone in a hurry

I decided to add a couple of Minnie Mouse squares. We have Disney on the brain (planning a trip later this year)

I'm making this a little differently than other crochet mood projects. I notice some are making their squares according to their mood for the particular day or week, and then placing them in order as they go. I'm doing the same in a way. I'm placing them where ever I feel like they look best. So is this truly a crochet mood blanket? I don't know.

The sock knitting is going pretty well. I'm now at the toe of the first. Hopefully, I'll still be motivated to finish the second.

This was a few rows before starting the toe

 Don't judge, remember, it's my first

Earlier this week I received a package from a Ravelry swap that I participated in.

I love it. I racked up, 3 skeins of Wool-ease, crochet hook grips, candy, handmade soap, buttons, a sock pattern, notepad, postcards from Minnesota, a knitted dishcloth...even something for Ireland. Fellow knitters/crocheters are the best aren't they?

Have a great weekend,
Liz

Grannies

This weekend has been all about grannies...

Making progress on Ireland's blanket

I've also been working on a scarf

It's a multicolor puff scarf

All of those little balls of scrap yarn have come in handy.

Happy Sunday!

A Little Crochet and More Organization

This weekend I have crocheted a little bit on the patchwork. 

I picked out a pattern for a coverup. We're planning two beach trips, the first one 10 days from now. I don't know if I'll be able to get it done. You can find the pattern here 

                       

  

I worked on the craft room organizing photos and cameras and books

I put my desk pieces together, hanging the rail...all pieces from IKEA

and here's a shot of my clock

The other pegboard

Now I think I'll go put something in the crock pot for dinner/supper.

What are you up to this weekend?

Update on wedding plans:

Photographer: Booked

any suggestions or help would be much appreciated

So if anyone out there has made one of these sea shell bouquets, please tell me how you did it. Thanks;)

Back to the 'Ol Patchwork

I've finally picked up the hook and dug out the patchwork...

I'm almost halfway there

Scratchy kitty would not go away...she just had to have her picture taken. 

After visiting Janette over at The Green Dragonfly and seeing her kitty cat, Billy, I thought I would post a pic of Scratchy. They look so much alike.

Then I had to take a few of the flowers. Something new opens everyday...thanks to the previous owners

I have started my sea shell bouquet...I'll share photos in a few days

I think I'll go and crochet a couple squares before bedtime.
