Well, I really worked my tail off last night getting the border of the blanket finished. I only had a few moments to spare to go get my PJ's on and be back before my movie came on (Wuthering Heights). I was quite pleased. I think the border/edging turned out nice. Not too fufu either. Now today, I am starting my flowers to add to the middle of the blanket, with leaves and embroidered stems. We shall see what it looks like. I hope it is as I envision it to be.
As you can tell by the pics today, we are hanging out in my bedroom while doing schoolwork, crafts and crochet flowers. I just can not pass up soaking up as much sunshine as possible being I was tortured for the last two weeks. I even had to change shirts because it has warmed up nicely in my room and I felt like I was roasting like a "piggie" and had to ditch the sweatshirt. Feels weird wearing a short sleeve shirt though. But I will survive!!! Below are some lovely origami frogs that Em has made for her and Brenna to play with. Those darn things are just hopping everywhere. Kind of a shock having one plop right down in the middle of a crochet flower. Throws off the rhythm you get into.After having being attacked by frogs, we will be moving along to Valentine decor with all the colorful foam sheets we have. I am a bit curious to see what the girls come up with. I still have to find a "cute" heart pattern for them to use in their artistic moment.
All in all, the day has been great. No laundry because that was done yesterday, just a bit a vacuuming and a quick sweep of the floors and it was upstairs to enjoy that beautiful thing called the SUN!!! Hope everyone has had a grand day such as we have. If the wind wasn't blowing so hard we probably would have went outside but we are happy with the bright light upstairs. Well, I must go and get more of that bright ball streaming in through my windows. I will show off flowers tomorrow!
Toodles!!!
The frogs are cute...and I love the edging you did, it's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose frogs are great! I would love to know how to crochet flowers-or crochet at all for that matter! I am all thumbs when I try!
