Garden stuff- like planting, sowing more seeds, weeding the herb garden

In the craft basket....
My purple blanket-I've been dragging that thing everywhere with me, even the minor league baseball game we went to. I don't really like sports all that much and I'm glad I brought it.
I started a Granny Stripe because I am getting sick of looking at just purple.


Looking forward to this week....

Yarn Along

I'm making a blanket- just a simple crochet one. One row DC, the next a shell pattern of 3DC in one stitch, skip  2 stitches all the way across. I just taught myself to crochet about a month or so ago.

I haven't even started my book. My daughter recommended it and asks me every day if I have started it yet. I hope to have it read by next week, it doesn't look that hard.

I also need to start work on my mother in laws birthday/mothers day gift but I don't feel like digging out the yarn just yet.

Looking forward to this week....
