Throw-Away Day

Today was Agnes’ last day at preschool before Spring Break, and the boy’s is tomorrow. I had big intentions of cleaning house, putting away laundry, and baking some homemade goodies, but instead I spent some quality time with the couch.

Oh well, lazy days are good days too.

Monthly Crochet Review: February

February was extra cold, so that meant that I was able to spend quality time at the craft table.

I picked up some yarn for my birthday. I had a new project in mind.

My brother sent me a super-cool birthday gift! He sent me a big box of yarn, he knows me so well.

I’m focusing most of my time still working on these three Christmas Gifts.

The mod granny-square blanket is almost complete. I have just two more rows of granny-squares to go.

The African Flowers blanket is coming along. I’m one third of the way complete with the crochet work.

The granny-burst blanket only has two completed rows. I still have another thirteen to complete.

I did complete a few crochet projects.

I finally got all of the granny-square pillows stuffed, and in place.

They turned out super comfy, and I even added one to our bedroom.

I had this funny stash of tapestry wool that I had picked up at the antique store. I decided to gather up all of the wool, and make a scarf.

It was a quick weekend project.

The new scarf is very warm too. It came in handy for all of the recent freezing weather, and snow we’ve been having.

 

I’ve also started working on another blanket. This one is my Walker Blanket. I’m crocheting it as we are watching the Walking Dead on Sunday’s.

I’m using extra bulky yarn, so it is moving along quickly.

I hope to finish it soon. It is extra warm, and cozy.

Spring Break In Just One Week

Today, I was enjoying a quiet Friday morning, watching Portlandia on Netflix, and getting my crochet on. I sipped my tea, and that was when a thought crossed my mind. The kids are out of school next Friday, and then the entire week after, plus the Monday after that. Holy crap I have just a week until Spring Break!

Time to get the house stocked up, pray for good weather, and find something to do around town with the kiddos.

I’m not quite ready for the noise, or the incessant fighting between the lot of them either… Oh yeah, and it’s daylight savings time this weekend too. Good times…
