Quilt finish!

Finished quilt, fabric is Ticklish by Moda...Love it.

My Ross/TJ Maxx finds

I really need to stay off Pinterest. Now I have the app for my phone its addicting.  These are my two finds from TJ Maxx.  I paid 6.99 each.  The dishcloth display I saw on Pinterest. I like hers better and will still search but this is ok for now.  I have this displayed on top of my fridge!  Yes I made most of the potholders although I would never actually use them. Some are from garage sales.

Saturday Snippets

Happy Saturday! I cannot believe how the weeks fly by and its the end of July almost!  After my flag afghan I decided to do something mindless and easy my old standby pattern sideways shell, with some clearance yarn from Joann's I purchased a Ton of it for 1.99.  I love the way the yarn pools. I try to make my baby afghans with little or no holes, so babies toes and fingers dont go through.  I purchased a new Japanese crochet book from Etsy. I love it! You have to be able to read charts obviously.   

Gorgeous yarn I picked up from Tuesday morning for 3 dollars a skein..Im thinking a knit hat this winter. 

Working on a quilt also try to complete a block or two before work each day.  Its the dog days of summer here, it is so brutally hot your wet and nasty as soon as you leave the house to get to your car.  Its misery. Thank god for AC I barely leave the house this time of year except to go to work and store! Hope you enjoy your Saturday.

Happy Fourth and a afghan reveal!

Happy Fourth.. busy time of year. I started this blanket on our Mini vacation over the Memorial day weekend. Finished this morning.  I followed pattern from leisure arts web site.  Exact yarn and amounts.  I am glad its done.  I am over it.   I am not good at showing progression of a project, like others are.  I put myself under a deadline.  Just a personal goal..Not the greatest of ideas.  I hooked before work and a few rows after work since the Memorial day weekend.  Its actually amazing I get anything done. Chow!
