I'm here again with a New Blanket

Hi there my dear friends ... It's been almost a whole month since I have been here and so much has happened.
I have moved and we are so happy to finally be in our house...

I will try to show you a bit of our new nest soon ... We still have lots and lots of boxes everywhere. I'm trying to pace myself and be very careful so I don't get sick... I'm not that young anymore and I want to stay healthy even if it takes me six months or a year to unpack everything ... We are not going anywhere :)

In between unpacking boxes I started and almost finished a whole blanket this month... Can you believe I basically didn't do anything else this month, but crochet this blanket ???
My niece graduated from High School and I had decided I was going to make a blanket for each one of the nieces and nephews graduating from High School and she is the first one from this generation ( we have 2 older ones).

The thing is I didn't realize that she was graduating until a month before she was graduating ... So I had to hurry ... And this is what I did ... This simple double crochet stripped blanket.
I love it ... Simple but still elegant... The colors she likes and something modern and contemporary for a very unique, beautiful girl.

I hope she likes and I hope this blanket covers her with love and show her my love and how proud I'm of her accomplishments...

I probably took too many pictures, but I thought I show you a bit of the view we have been enjoying from our house every day ... We are so very blessed ... And I'm so very happy for what we have and where we are in our lives...

So happy to have you also and that you continue to come and "visit"me ...
Thank you ... Thank you.. Thank you ... For all your encouraging words, for waiting for me to come back and for being here to "see me again".

I hope you are having a fantastic summer :)

  4. Taci the blanket is gorgeous and I now that your niece will feel all of the love wrapped up in it. The pictures so far of your new home are fantastic. I can't wait to see the entire house. I know I'll be at Mandy's sometime in the next month or so before she moves. We'll have to get together, (and have a tour of the house?!) Thank you for being there for me when I need a friend.
    Blessings my sweet friend.

  5. Welcome Home, Taci :) The blanket you made for your niece is lovely; the view from your balcony is beautiful; and I am so glad you are pacing yourself in getting settled in your new home. Somehow you need to rest in the midst of you whirling schedule, and I am so impressed that you completed a blanket in a month! Blessings to you and yours, xx

  9. Taci, congrats on the new home! I am so looking forward to seeing it.. maybe when Betsy is in town? I love your blanket and I hope your niece appreciates all the effort you put into it. It reminds me of an old wool woven Indian blanket a bit.. very classy and wonderful. Do pace yourself and don't over do. I'm very happy for you. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  13. The blanket is beautiful and I adore the shade of grey you used. I love grey, it's such an elegant neutral. And the views from your deck are wonderful! I hope you're settling in to your new house ok. x
