CREATING FROM THE CRAFT BASKET
I'm back to working on Sam's shell stitch afghan in blues, greens and tans, inspired by this free pattern. I'm close to finishing it!
I'm sharing my crocheting creations over at Lucy Blossom Crafts (Mondays), Frontier Dreams (Tuesdays), The Philosopher's Wife (Tuesdays), Small Things (Wednesdays), Oombawka Design (Wednesdays), Lunamon Design (Wednesdays), and Natural Suburbia (Fridays).

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY AND THANKFUL
Happy birthday to my sweet, hard-working, funny honey!
I'M WONDERING...
...what kind of winter will we have. I saw a completely black Woolly bear caterpillar a few days ago. Woolly bear's are supposed to predict the severity of an upcoming winter. I've never seen one completely black. If the Woolly is right, winter will be a doozy!

I hope your Wooly Worm was wrong!!! most of mine have been black, then mostly brown, then a bit of black again!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, always!
Have a great week!
I haven't seen any with brown. The first time ever. Usually they have some brown. Yikes. Last winter was bad enough!
DeleteLove the picture of the leaves. Your cartoon made me laugh. Dinner is usually ready around here when the smoke alarm blares. The woolly bear photo not so much. I haven't seen many woolly bears around here...wonder what that means?? They may just be late though as our trees are all changing color late and finally this weekend supposed to peak with their color. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean! You too! Enjoy the peak foliage. We are past peak here for a couple of week. Leaves are all over the lawn and kayaks and vehicles. It's fun to walk through them. That rustle sound!
DeleteOh my gosh! The raccoon video was awesome! Have a great time at the library.
ReplyDeleteWhack-a-mole raccoon-style! LOL
DeleteI haven't seen any wooly worms yet! I hope your winter isn't to bad. I heard that it was supposed to be rough along the east coast. Time will tell. Your home always sounds so cozy.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Dawn
Thanks, Dawn, but in the winter the house is cold! :: shiver :: It's great in the summer months when the house is shaded and we're 10-15 degrees cooler than outside, but in the winter that cold surely hits us. We make do though - cozy blankets and cocoa!
DeleteLove the leaves picture. The afghan is looking great. I may have to check out that pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is for a baby blanket. I decided to almost double the dimensions for an adult size afghan for my son who keeps asking when it'll be finished. Almost!
DeleteI love the colours on your Afghan, they work really well together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy! I found the yarn at my local Walmart when they discontinued it. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but thought an afghan would be nice. Although I wish I had ordered the colors a bit differently, my son loves it.
DeleteGreat Bible verse! Good luck at the library.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jenny. We're supposed to head to the library in an hour or so. I'm sure to find a great book there!
DeleteLove the dinner quote and so true as when creating everything else goes to pot
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just GOTTA create...even if the dishes pile up and the laundry doesn't get dried and we have processed food for dinner! LOL
DeleteGreat blanket - looks like it gets a thumbs up from the kitty!
ReplyDeleteLOL Yes, she does seem to come around and want to lay on it. It slows down my progress!
DeleteGreat colors in that blanket!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna!
DeleteI love the blanket, thanks for the pattern link. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Linda!
