Porch swing will be finished tonight. I stained the bottom half yesterday and doing the top today. We decided to do a dark stain. I like dark stain, but not sure if I'm liking it on the swing. I won't decide until it's done and dry. Maybe once it's dried it won't seem so dark.
I've decided to work on the two babydolls I need to make at the same time. I finished the body of one last night, so going to start the body of the other today. I will switch back and forth between them and hopefully it won't take me too long to finish both. I'm kinda ready to move on to other things. Like....
~ socks - going to attempt a pair this weekend.
~ crochet - I have seen SO many crochet blankets, ripples, granny's, stripes! I want to make one!
~ flower planting - I have seeds, but need to prepare the flower beds. I might get to some of that this weekend. The seeds need to be in the ground before April is up!
~ knit something other than monsters and dolls. I have a few cowl patterns I want to try and even a cape. I figured a cape would be much easier than a sweater. And I kinda want to do a photo shoot in the woods with a basket and a Red Riding Hood cape. I know....according to my husband, I say the darnest things. I'm sure the Red Riding Hood cape would be one of the darnest things I say.
I've been craving shrimp and grits! I have all the ingredients, so thinking shrimp and grits for dinner tomorrow. Tonight is left-overs! How exciting!
This was a random post huh? Random is good sometimes :)
Sounds like a busy week for you. I can't wait to see the yummy socks and your blanket making. If you can knit you can most certainly crochet. Oh set me up a plate for dinner ill be over. Thanks. Pepsi no ice please.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to own a crocheted blanket too. I started the ripple blanket and quickly got bored of it. Actually that's not 100% true, it was also hurting my little finger...I've noticed it again tonight when crocheting :\
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment! Did you ever make a pair of socks before? I have bought some sock yarn so I can finally start my first pair. It's a bit scary don't you think?
