Joni's Baby Blanket

I had not been working on Joni's blanket like I should. I actually found another project to start on (like I need one). I saw these really cool beaded coasters at Wal-Mart and decided, "I can make those! Why would I want to buy them?" So, I found the beads that I wanted, the wire I needed and wrote out instructions for myself. I started to string the beads, then stopped. Why? I don't know! But in the mean time, I finished another hat for myself (picture coming soon) and then picked up Joni's blanket again.
Mostly because I talked to her yesterday and she mentioned her due date, March 21. Now I have a deadline. And the pattern is not that difficult, and it will not be a huge blanket. I should be finished before that date. Should be.

Next on the list...

I am working on Joni's blanket and my curtains. Similar patterns, different yarns. I decided not to do the pattern I found (see post fro 7.13.06). I found a fan pattern that I like...

<---- these will be curtains for the livingroom. This is the start of the first panel. I think total there will be four if I make them all the same size. Three if I make the other two larger than 41" wide.

Joni's expected to have a boy. Since I had already started, I decided to keep going. Yes, there is pink, orange and purple; but also green blue and yellow. Although you can't see the detail as well on this second picture, both are very similar. Fan and shell.

Oh, I am also working on a ribbed hat in country blues and brown varigated and the rug...oh yes the rug is still on the list.

I think I may be adding a toilet tissue cover to the list soon. Something to decorate our downstairs bathroom a little bit.

Jaime's Blanket

It is done! Finally finished. It has acutally been finished for a couple weeks, but I haven't been able to get online or download the photos for that matter.
Now to give it to her. It's been sitting on the back seat in my car for a week and a half.

Ta Da!

I finally finished the "Crocheted Plastic Bag"

Here's a couple pictures.

Almost Finished....

I have about 15 rows left to go on Jaime's blanket. Then to add the border. She originally had a due date of September 21, but she went early. Again!!

Then to start on the next blanket for Joni.

At the Fair #4

These last four posts have nothing to do with crochet other than I did see a lady crocheting with Red Heart Baby Clouds at one of the booths, but these two pictures in this post are two of my favorite things at the fair. And I think all the pictures I posted came out pretty good!!

At the Fair #3

Last but not least, a couple of pictures of the kids, playing on the tractors...

At the Fair #2

My husband asked me to take this photo! He was impressed with the size of him! Me too!















We also stopped by the Bee Barn and purchased some honey sticks in different flavors. They were very good!

We went through the barns with the entries and I saw lots of knit and crochet items!

At the Fair

We went to the Lorain County Fair on Friday (8.25.06)

Took a few pictures:

Almost Finished

I am almost finished with my bag. I have the first handle done and then......I ran out of blue bags......so I have put it aside to work on the baby blanket that I should have had done first.
