It's Finally Done!

So as the title states I'm finally done with this baby blanket! I was hoping that it would be bigger but it took so long to do each square (3-5 hours) that by the time I got to 6 squares I was beyond being done! As I was finishing this we got news that my brother in law was having a another girl and I decided that instead of selling this (after news of the baby it was intended for was miscarried) I would pass it to another baby that could enjoy it. I still have to block it as a few of the squares were stretched thanks to a little girl of mine lol. And as for the friend that has lost her baby she's getting married at the end of April and I'll be sending her and her man a afghan to snuggle under and hopefully it will cheer them up :)

Luis's Army Afghan DONE


So the jacob's ladder army afghan is done and Luis has it on his bunk in Korea. He loves it so I'm happy :) He had alot of people comment on it so I'm thinking about making some more and send them that way but first I need to come in to some money! lol but any who here it is enjoy.

New Project: A Rainbow for Mom

Okay so here is the rainbow for my mom... a queen sized dc afghan. and it is kicking my ass to say the least. I'm maybe a fourth of the way done and found out that they stopped making the green so I had to find a color close to it :/ oh well. I want it done my her birthday in June but I'm starting to think its not going to happen lol. Each colored section is 2 rows and each row takes about 10 mins to do. I've been super busy lately with Zoie's therapy and meltdowns that I don't get a lot of time to work on it so I maybe get 2 colors done a day if I'm luck. Wish me speed and luck!

wow its been a while...

Okay so it has been awhile since I posted anything so here is an up date... My computer crapped out on me and took a bit to get it up and running(for now). Had lots of things going on including getting my divorce papers turned in (mini victory) on a down note though with the threat of the government "shutting down" I wont get a court date for a bit. And with many friends in the military I'm feeling a little pissed about them not getting paid for their service. Especially one friend in particular because her husband leaves in a few weeks to go to Afghanistan leaving her and their daughter behind to fend for themselves b/c he wont be getting paid! Also on the note of Japan its heart breaking and wish there was more we could do for all those people displaced by the disasters that are plaguing them at the moment. But carrying on with the main reason for my blogging is my crocheting... much projects have come to an end and one has just begun the long journey to completion...
