Blissful Summer



I've been working on this shrug still a few rows at a time.  I think I've lost my crochet mojo.
I picked up this ball of Isaac Mizrahi yarn at Michael's on clearance thinking it will finish of
the edge of the shrug nicely.


The only other crochet I have managed is this flower motif. And I've started reading the 3rd book in the Friday Night Knitting Club series.


Just a pic here of my crochet corner.


I had yesterday off so I went to my hair dresser to get a new style, shorter and more stylish.


And then went a got a pedicure.  Only the second I've ever had but what a treat.


Honey and I went out to the Friday Night market. Vendors and local brews.


Happy Weekend all!!

Small Progress


Yesterday I had off and got to hit a thrift store.  I found this J.K. Rowling book for .50 cents. 
I enjoyed a long overdue visit with my chiropractor. The shoulder is feeling a bit better but of course that usually means having to keep going to keep the relief up.  I've worked on this shrug a bit. I got quite a few rows done last weekend while we were driving through the county.

But I must admit, I have a new addiction.  Jigsaw puzzles.  I had ordered a few from a site I found.
Bits & Pieces. They have puzzles, home and garden decor items etc. I picked one of a cat in a door way with flowers. Of course I didn't realize it was a round puzzle until it came. 


I've taken pictures each day of the progress. It's going on day 5.  This one is not so easy.

And I found this picture on facebook.  Can you imagine if it were true.  A girl can dream.


Happy weekend all!!!

Granny Squares

Keeping with Tuesday's Tallies and One A Day, that could be a square a day, a row a day, I've gone back to an on going Granny Square Afghan.  It's a neutral male color scheme I guess.


This square is going to be a larger one, close to a four square size of the rest, to fit into the mix.  I joined on 5 smaller squares yesterday while my honey watched the Super Bowl.  Meh, I'd rather watch the Stanley Cup final.
    I want to get my hearts finished up this week to make a Heart Garland.  I also listed my V-Stitch Cocoon Shrug on my Etsy this weekend.  That's another goal, to get more things made and listed on Etsy.
    Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

Squares and Giveaway

I just wanted to share this giveaway with you.  Susanne's Blog is giving a new year's bundle to her followers.  Check it out.

As for my special Granny Square project, some more progress has been made and hope to make more this weekend.  I edged it with a pale lavender colour.  I think I will have to block it again to get the edges straight.  Flowers are being made for this project as well.  I'm hoping to get a few varieties done in these fun happy colours.


I also finished a shrug I only started early September.  I had already made one with a green tone in Homespun yarn but wanted a white, neutral one.  I improvised on the design as the first one I found I wanted longer sleeves for more warmth as well as extended length on the back.

I hope everyone has a good weekend and enjoys the mild weather here in the Easter time Zone.
