yay or nay?

last night when i went to bed i fully expected to go to work so i went to bed & had woken up at 5 am then stayed in bed till my alarm went off at 530 so i get up was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when i heard my phone ring i thought who on earth would be calling me this early? the only person who would & has (he hasnt very much maybe 3 times in the last 5 years) is dad & he is sleeping he was off today well it was work telling me to stay home not enough people to justify full staff

so this is what i did instead i went to joanns & bought an embellishment book

as i drove off after purchasing the book i thought i probably should have gotten yarn also to make the flowers oh well i have enough yarn to practice with till i choose what colors i want & im happy & comfortable with reading the directions so i read the first part of the book which said flowers dont take much yarn to make so left over yarn just sitting around is perfect so woo hoo for me i have lots just sitting around so i choose these colors

and the flower i wanted to make i was a little scared of how i would do because its not a flat flower see

its like a real flower this is my very first one made i think i did well im excited to get better at it

now i have been thinking that since im mostly posting things about crocheting on here that i will just turn it into a crocheting blog yay of nay?

i get an idea to make myself a blanket i have 2 for me that i have made 1 i keep becuse its big & i live the shade of purple i used & the other one i got the yaen as a birthday gift from home teachers & i love that blanket although im thinking of giving that one away

friday or saturday i decided that i wanted a granny square throw for myself so i bought the colors i wanted now keep in mind that sevral years ago i made myself a blanket useing these same colors & gave it away

yep i chose black & purple wich i do love together im just not 100% sold on how much i love it


after looking at this picture im likeing it more

however if any one reading this knows someone who needs a throw blanket let me know they can have this one

the joys of fall

i have a friend who is attending school at byu idaho she loves atumn colors i thought she is cold up in the snow she also wants a ranch to live on when i think of a ranch i think of a ranch style house when i think of that i think of what i do best

so i picked these colors out

and made this for her

im not to horrably fond of fall colors i like them juxt not alot so i had never thought to use them in a blanket till last week i actually love them in this blanket im so glad i used four colors it turned out so pretty im glad it did & my friend loves it

some fun things
