Finished Crochet Projects: Valentine’s Day Table-runner

Sometimes I start a project, and midway through I look at it, and go a different route. This one started off  to be a blanket for Agnes. She even picked out all of the colors of yarn.

I worked on it for months, and months, and eventually stuck it in the bottom of the crochet basket.

Last weekend I got it out and took another look at the unfinished blanket, and thought it was the perfect colors for Valentine’s Day.

I don’t usually decorate too much for Valentine’s Day, but this little table-runner just might change my ways.

I think this project would have been a quick one, if I had stayed motivated to work on it. It is a granny-square table-runner in pink, maroon, and light red. I double crocheted the edges in bright pretty pink to finish it off.

This little crochet project turned into a simple decoration for the holiday. It won’t take up too much space in storage once the holiday is done.

Happy early Valentine’s Day to you!

 

 

 

January’s Favorite Photos

I’m a little behind posting this one, February is already getting away from me. I didn’t seem to get too many photos in January, but I do have a few to share.

Hopefully, I’ll get a few more photos in February…

 

 

 

SomeDays…

Some days start off way too early, and they are a challenge for the remainder of daylight… Today has been one of them, in a long string of them.

I’m on day three of a nasty compound headache, and Dylan is sick with tummy troubles too. The heater is on the fritz, and our favorite heater-guy hasn’t called me back just yet.

I’ve taken everything in the house to try and kick this headache, currently I’ve rubbed myself down with essential oils and I’m chugging a Hazelnut coffee. Hopefully this does the trick.

The weather is still cold, but we are hanging in there. I’m so tired right now, but trying my best to roll with it, and keep my head up.

I need a warm day, and a quiet spot for a bit…

 

Getting Back Outside

The kids had a two hour delay to the start of the school day today. The wind chill was just too darn cold this morning. I like the two hour delay though, the kids are a bit cheerier going to school at 10:00 a.m.

Agnes and I are (finally) enjoying a bit of quiet. Everyone has been going a little stir-crazy the past few days. We’ll be taking it easy today, and keeping warm.

Hopefully I can get a little crafting time in too.

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Friday. This has been one strange week. I really hope that we see a break in the weather this weekend. Stay warm!
