Yet Another Blanket...

Hi there friends...I have missed you all...still going a 1,000 miles a minute around here. Don't know why I forget about it every year and think it will magically slow down.

my niece is getting married in August... another month and a half and I just decided I'm making a blanket for her and her husband for a wedding present. I really hope she does not look at my blog for this post so it will be a big surprise for them :) :) :)

The first stage was actually the hardest. To choose if I knit or crochet ... since I crochet a lot faster and only have a month and half (which will be huge challenge to me at my current life pace) I decided crochet it is... but it took me a whole week to decide on the pattern... she is a very girly girl (but I don't know that her husband would love a flower power blanket ah ah :)) and she loves bright beautiful color.

So... here it is .... beautiful... bright ... colorful squares for a beautiful couple.

My biggest challenge will be to stay focused and work on just one project until I'm done... and so help me God :)

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend ...it's beautiful, sunny and warm here and I absolutely love it.

Welcome to my new friends and Thanks for hanging in there with me I just love hearing from you.

New Baby Blanket

Hi there friends...

I feel like it has been forever since I was here with you...

My kids are finally done with school and I thought things were going to slow down, but now my daughter is taking driver's Ed and still doing golf and my son is doing golf and will start soccer next week...

So, what was I thinking when I said things were going to slow down when they finished the finals...? we just jump from one thing to another, right ? I think it's just the way it is with this job of being a mom...

I still think it is a lot of fun... ;)

I have managed to start my project ...

Look ...

What do you think it is ??? (now that I have kept you waiting for a whole week)...

Is it a pillow???

Is it a bag???

It's is a baby blanket.

As I mentioned before I have 4 friends having babies in September and October and I loooove making baby things ...

I had a hard time deciding which pattern, but now that I started ...I love it!

So much fun to work on it and I just love making squares because you can take it everywhere...

I was inspired by Pearl Soho's crochet blanket. It's called Whit's Knits: Bear's Rainbow Blanket www.purlbee.com. She has a beautiful blog and a great tutorial ... go check it out if you have a second.

I am doing this one with just one color pallet as my friend is having a baby boy...

I love it !!!

I hope you are all having a marvelous week and I'm so happy you continue to visit me (even when I disappear for a while:))...

Love to you all ! ! !

Hi There I have a New Project on my Needles

Hi there friends.

I have been missing you all so much this last few days. I have been crazy busy at work and my kids are in finals week at school. Again I had a house full of teens studying and eating all weekend, which consequently meant that I didn't have a second for myself. This is it... the final week of school and next week everything should slow down...

So ... I hope you hang in there with me as I'll have a few things to show you when I have some time to take pictures and get my life back to normal. I have been so tired I have not even been able to keep up with reading your blogs... I hope you know I'm not ignoring you. Reading your blogs is one of my favorite things to do and I wait all day for it. So, I think I just need to be patient and things will slow down and it will all go back to normal...

For now I'll leave you with a new project I just started when I have a minute or two in between working, cooking, washing and running around ...

More details coming soon... just a little sneak pick now...

Thanks for visiting me and thank you so much for being such a great part of my life.
