I'm back and this is loaded with pictures. Busy June indeed! Started off crazy and is just now settling and it's the end of the month! First I'll start off with the other 2 mouse ears that I did for my Granddaughter and Daughter-in-law. I didn't want my Son to feel left out so I whipped up a mickey head pin in camo to wear on his hat. He was less than impressed.</div>

Saturday the Balloon Festival which normally runs right over the house made a change and the balloons went in the opposite direction which I was pretty bummed about. Got this guy when he was getting air. It was pretty windy so I thinking that's the reason for the changes. Sunday I didn't even hear them going up so they may have been grounded with the wind.<br />

Made it just in time to get another May post in. June is shaping up to be very busy. Starting on Monday we are off to Disneyland, Tuesday California Adventure, Wednesday Universal Studios, Thursday Magic Mountain. That's a LOT of walking! Friday we drive North. Yikes this is going to be a crazy vacation. Saturday and Sunday is the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Festival and Brooke's Birthday is Tuesday, then we head home on Wednesday. Don't think that there will be much in the way of updates during the next 2 weeks. I know that there will be very limited crochet time. I will of course take a bag with me to work on in the car during the drive times and the road trips up and back. Unfortunately I cannot work on my Friends squares in the car so that will be on hold until I get back. I have a made a bit of progress though, the weather cooled off during the last week that I could play with yarn again. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">So this weather was just too hot the past weekend to touch any yarn. I really tried but just the thought of fiddling with it made me sweat more then I was. Hot flashes are not helping either! I had a plan to get this square done, but alas it did not happen. </span></div>

I did some gardening since my balcony is mostly in the shade, still too hot but the plants were very overdue for clean up and repotting. I got all the plants cleaned up and the balcony swept clean of leaves. I bought 2 bee loving plants on Saturday and got those repotted and ready for the bees to enjoy. I have a Brisbane Box tree right in front of my unit and it's full of bees right now so I'm hoping they will enjoy my new flowers too.</div>

I had a nice quiet weekend with Katlyn working early in the day on both Saturday and Sunday. I got things done on Saturday so that I could spend Sunday (Mother's Day) crocheting and reading. Didn't end up that way, I got distracted by little things that turned into big things throughout the day so I didn't really sit down to crochet until 2 in the afternoon and since I needed to play catch up on my Temperature blanket from the past week, that's what I did. </div>

Blah, but oh well off we go into a new week. Not a whole lot to post about but I'm trying to get into the habit of both posting and photos, so these small posts will be the stepping stone to that habit! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Onward to the weekend update. I started bright and early on Saturday so I could get this turkey square done. Didn't finish it, because I did lots of things on Saturday. I worked on it in the morning until Katlyn got up around noonish and wanted to go to breakfast. So off we went to our favorite diner and then ran to Target to pickup a few things for the house. Came home and played catch up on my temperature blanket.</div>

Sunday was much more productive for the turkey as you can see. I worked all day and right up until bedtime to get this one completed! Going to start the next square tonight, well get my yarn box filled with the proper colors and get the bobbins ready anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to Joann's after work on Friday and picked up the balance of colors I needed for this blanket since they were on sale, so unless I run out of a particular color I should be good to go to the end. </div>

Back again with the rest of yesterdays catch up post. We are now up to April 2017! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I belong to a couple of crochet groups on Facebook and at the end of March a post popped up that was a Friends CAL, WHAT?! How did I miss that! Anyway, I jumped right on that bandwagon and bought the pattern from <a href="https://chaosandchopsuey.wordpress.com/">Chaos & Chop Suey</a> on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/">Ravelry</a>. Started as soon as I had the yarn for the first panel. I'm doing a mini c2c which is hdc instead of dc. I'm also using <a href="http://www.redheart.com/yarn/super-saver">Red Heart Super Saver</a> instead of <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/">Hobby Lobby's</a> I Love This Yarn as Angela does. With this panel I used <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/vannas-choice-yarn.html">Vanna's Choice</a> Brick for the rust color because I couldn't find anything close in RHSS</div>

Now on to the WIPS. I have several going (of course) so I took a photo last night of these 4. They are more Eater of Yarn blankets. The top 2 are similar with their random colors, the difference is the size, left is queen size and right is toddler. The bottom 2 are less random, left is twin sized in girlier colors and the right is only 3 colors, black, gray and red. These will be set aside for a bit since it's getting so hot out. They are too big and heavy to work on in the Summer!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Finished my stash busting Eater of Yarns blanket! It turned out gorgeous and massive (over hangs tall queen bed) Katlyn stole it for her bed. I used so much yarn for it and loved working on it. It was so much fun to see how the random colors came together. Very bohemian. I got my Sister hooked on this method and started her own. I have 4 others started as well. One for Brooke in girly colors, twin sized. Another random colored large one for my son Steven, 1 for Kasyn toddler sized and 1 for Christopher using red, black and gray. It's too hot right now to work on any of them but I'm hoping for Christmas presents! </span></td></tr>

Well I can't get Blogger to cooperate with my any more so I will end this for today before I get angry and delete everything! Tomorrow will be current projects and then we will be caught up!</div>

Back again with more updates. I am crocheting like crazy at the moment. I have a few ongoing projects plus things in between. Let's get on with it shall we... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up my temperature blanket. I'm not sure what everyone else has done on this as far as a temperature reading, but I check the temp 3 times daily. Mostly around the same times. Basically morning, afternoon and when I walk the dogs. I have been using the temp when I walk the dogs for my color choices. I've kept track of these temps and found that I would have had far less color variations if just using the days high. I guess as the weather changes and warms up (as it does in So Cal) I will be pretty bored of orange and red, so I shall just enjoy my blues for the time being.</div>

My other ongoing project is my Eater of Yarns blanket. As it grow, my stash shrinks. Since I have such a large stash this is a very good thing. Plus I'm using up all those single skeins that I have no idea where they came from and also using up partial skeins. It's making for a very fun blanket that Katlyn is already trying to claim as her own.</div>

So another project I started and finished in a day. Kid needed a sweater, I looked online and found a simple enough sweater and took his measurements and set off. All was fine until the putting it together. since the collar is a bit smaller (so I thought) There was a tricky bit to getting it to fit together properly. Finally get it done and put on Kid and alas...I messed up! </div>

Monday my boss let me go home a few hours early, so I played with yarn. I wound loose skeins into cakes and tried hard to get a decent shot of the eater of yarns blanket, but holy hell it's huge! Like too big for my bed huge, I spread out a white sheet to show it off better, but between the overcast day outside and Katlyn's puppy, who would not stay off my bed....this is the best I got for now. I guess the stripes are going to be running vertical instead of horizontal on the bed. Oopsy. </div>

Katlyn got a new puppy, she was found tied up in an alley with no water with the temperature outside above 90. She was approximately 3 months old according to the vet, malnourished and had to take medication for some aliment that I can't remember, but she is now a bouncy, healthy, near 6 month old puppy who is slowly destroying my house! </div>

Now on to current projects!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this blanket on December 30th, with the idea that I could use up some of my yarn. I have so much and it just sits in plastic tubs in the closet, so I figured I could use up some of it and make a new blanket at the same time with no pressure of Christmas or any other holiday to finish it up. So I make a very long starting chain, I think it was 196 chains with 2 strands held together and an M hook (9.00mm) It's going to be huge! Here's what I'm doing, hdc in each ch/st across with a 2ch turn at the end of each row. I do 2 rows and then switch out 1 of the colors and have that on repeat until I get it a length I like. The first picture is the start of the first row, which I do my hdc's in the back of the starting chain. It's is a pain, but I do like that it doesn't look like the starting row. The picture below it you can see how the blanket has advanced in just a couple of days. </div>

On January 1st I started a temperature blanket. 1 row daily with the color depending on the outside temperature, usually I go with what the temperature is when I walk the dogs in the late afternoon. Maybe next year I'll do another with the temp at noon. It's Southern California, I'm not sure how much of variety I will be getting once it warms up a bit.</div>

That's it for now, I've been taking daily pictures of the temperature blanket and lots of pictures of the Eater of Yarn blanket. I want to spread it out on the bed for a large shot but my bed has a dark duvet cover and since the damn puppy ate my quilt that was light colored and I used for many photo shoots....sigh. I'll figure something out!</div>

It's been awhile now and I really don't have much to talk about. Having finished the corner 2 corner I am struggling to pick up my hook. Don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm trying. Got a few things kind of going, but I can't seem to find the proper motivation to do anything about them. It's pretty much like that in all areas of my life right now too, so something's off. Can't quite put my finger on it though. Maybe it's menopausal related, I really don't know. I have gained weight that is making me unhappy, but I again lack the motivation to do anything about it and the problems that are coming with the extra weight is causing me issues. So I'm really in a catch-22 right now. My body hurts so I need to do something about it but I don't have the energy to do anything about it because my body hurts, which I'm sure is caused by the extra weight! All of this is causing my mental health to decline a bit. Ugh! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway on with things. C2C blanket...done BUT I did manage to run out of yarn. So annoying considering I had already ripped out so much of it to correct this issue already, but since I really didn't want to do another rip of it, I decided to go with what I had. I'm sure the baby won't mind in the least. While I love the colors of this blanket, I'm really not 100% pleased with the overall finished product. Now it is my first C2C and I really had no plan for this, but I really, <i>really</i> need the stripes to be a bit more organized. Next time I will plan much better with the stripes.</div>

Did manage to get a not great growth shot. It's Summer. In Southern California. This is my current hair style to survive! 8 months of growth for the grey, I am still pleased. Trying to decide if I want to keep my bangs or grow them out. I'm not a fan of my bare forehead and my eyebrows are nearly all grey too so it's an odd look. Man, I'm an old woman! </div>

It was hot on the way home. 102 degrees outside and while we were riding in an air conditioned car, the sun was blasting through the window which made the dogs too hot on their side of the seat, so I made them some shade with Katlyn's car blanket. Max very much appreciated the shade. </div>

So there we go, an update of the past 2 weeks. Home this weekend with cleaning and crocheting to do. I have the corner to corner finished, just need to get it measured and photographed. I will be working on the lego blanket next. It's small bits will not have to sit all over my lap which is good because the weather's going to be hot!</div>

And yet another post in May! Wow, it's a miracle! Anyway, on with the show! I have slowly (very slowly) been cleaning off my balcony, but we had a heavy bit of rain on the 14th, like crazy downpour and I unfortunately discovered that the rain gutters were in severe need of cleaning! My balcony flooded with water nearly coming into the house, yikes! Aftermath of that was a soggy mess of leaves, a wet box that was tossed out there for recycling and a lot of empty pots of dirt from plants that USED to live out there. So it was time to kick it into gear and get the balcony clean and shiny again. So you may be wondering why after writing that paragraph am I posting picture of granny squares first thing....interesting story. I figure, a clean balcony means I need a new blanket to have outside. Right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really it was a great excuse to use up some old exchange squares I have had forever. I gathered all the larger ones (about 8 inches) and set about trimming them in white. Now this of course was in between cleaning the mess that was my balcony.</div>

I may cut off a couple of inches this weekend if the mood strikes me. I belong to a group on facebook, where these lovely ladies show off the progress they are making and some cut the color out, but I don't think I'm quite ready to go that short yet.</div>

Nothing extensive going on, still working on baby blankets, though I really need to stick with one and finish before starting on say 2 others! Yep, 3 blankets going at once. First up we have the lego blanket. I have a lot of red blocks done, found the green, blue and yellow and discovered I had no black yarn! Well of course I have black yarn, just not a simple black acrylic to go with the blocks. I ordered Caron's One Pounder...that should keep me in black for a bit! </div>

I forgot that I had ordered lovely bunch yarn for a baby boy blanket back in June. I pulled all of those skeins out to start on a vintage stripe baby blanket. Really easy to do, but being stripes of 7 different color means loads of ends to weave in, not a fun project when I already have the lego blanket working up with all of those ends too! </div>

I went to Jo-ann's on Sunday morning because I needed some red yarn and didn't realize I needed it when I placed my order earlier in the week...sigh, I swear I only went up for 1 skein of yarn! Of course being as it's Jo-ann's I need to wander the yarn aisles just a bit! I found this gorgeous skein of Purl Essense in multi-citrus and immediately fell in love with the crazy fun colors of it. Happened to see a sign stating the all Purl Essence was 50% off, oh my, 50% made this giant skein only $5...I bought 2!</div>

Pretty much that's about it, this weekend will be geared more towards cleaning.

I am going to be repainting the living room to go with the new couch and chair we just got too, so a trip to Lowe's to check out paint colors is in order as well. Can't wait!</div>

Been a busy bee and I like it. I tend to come up with ideas all of the time, but of course I am always in the middle of a project when these ideas come to me which means I always have more then one project going on at any given time. Examples to follow because I've been taking pictures! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always see these fabulous granny square blankets on Pinterest and always want to do them, but of course they take time and planning and whatnot...but what if I did a scrap one? Oh goodness the possibilities are endless but I really wanted random and simple. I decided that I would make little one round squares in leftover bits of yarn I have. Only requirement is that it's acrylic yarn and worsted weight so there is consistency in all squares. I haven't much planned the size quite yet, but I have a good start on little squares. They will actually be 2 rounds, random colors and a third round in mustard yellow. I am looking forward to the finished product.</div>

Now Brandon LOVES legos, always has and is super excited to have his child play with legos...of course this will be much further down the road then he thinks but he's still pretty excited about this! I have a lego backpack pinned on my yarn board over on Pinterest that I would like to make for Disneyland, I thought this might be a great idea for a blanket too. Hmmm, well the actually brick is easy enough to whip up, so I did 3 and outlined them in black so I could test them out and get a feel for them. Turns out I like them, Katlyn likes them and Brandon is going to love this idea! I did the measurements and the math and figured out I need 42 squares of each of the 4 colors I'm going to use. Red, blue, green and yellow, basic colors all outlined in black and then I will put them together. Yep a crazy hot mess of ends to weave in and yikes I'm feeling it already!</div>

I came home with new succulents as well and did a fair amount of playing in my plants over this past weekend. Got them cleaned up and watered and made a new planter out of some new ones. Overall everyone looks good, I've had one plant that I got from Lowe's 3 weeks ago not do well at all, I don't know what happened but it just started dying, I pulled it apart and got the only bit left of it repotted, hopefully I am able the save it. Also 1 I got from Home Depot in Windsor, Stein decided it looked like a tasty treat and I came home to bits of it all over the floor, stupid cat! I hoping that it will survive as well.</div>

My new hobby....succulents! I love them and when visiting up North, my son has an odd little plant he showed me called Living Stone. I decided to look for one of my own and went to Lowe's and Home Depot. Didn't find it but came home with all these guys! I am having so much fun with these plants. I have a Jade plant that I have had forever out on my balcony and decided it was time to do something with it since it's just a leggy mess. I took cuttings from it and from 2 other plants I've had for awhile and have them resting up before repotting them as well. </div>

Now I hang out on Pinterest and find things all kinds of crochet things that I must make! Well ok...usually I like seeing color combos that people put together, I saw this gorgeous granny blanket done in different shades of green and thought it was a great idea for a gender neutral baby blanket. My Sister says "I have tons of green yarn, come over and grab it." I pop over to her house and we are out in the garage and she's tossing skeins of yarn me. She decided I needed to take all kinds of yarns. I walked out of there with 2 very full grocery bags :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I set about sorting them into my proper color bins, which of course requires help from the dogs and a cat. </div>

So a bit of stripe progress. This blanket is very nice to work on. Easy enough that I can read or watch TV without missing a stitch. Of course it is Simply Soft yarn which does have a tendency to split more often then I care for, but overall it's a nice yarn and it is soft.</div>

Had a busy time the last 2 weeks, but loads done! Let's start with progress on the Spectrum blanket that Katlyn has decided she would like instead of the color bar blanket I started for her. She still wants the color bar one, but it's going to be too big for a car blanket, so she has laid claim on my lovely stripes! I love that this blanket is so easy to just go back and forth and the change in colors is fun. I am very pleased with it. </div>

Katlyn ended up with 3 days off in a row so we decided to go up North for the weekend, well of course I need to gather yarn for the trip. Really not that hard, I was just going to take the Spectrum blanket, since all 6 skeins fit in my favorite yarn bag nicely. The problem I ran into was that I ran out of the turquoise yarn! What the heck??? I bought what the pattern called for and used the called for hook size. I don't crochet loosely so not sure what was going on. I pulled out my ruler and checked gauge (something I never do!) Turns out my gauge was bigger then the pattern said it should be, but the problem with that is if I had in fact been at the proper gauge, the blanket would be a tight, stiff mess! So not sure who tests these patterns but this is definitely off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this has thrown a hitch in my plans to take this blanket along. It's Wednesday night at this time, we are leaving Thursday right after work and Joann's didn't have the Mint Blue last time I tried to buy this yarn, ugh. I don't want to waste time driving all the way up there when I have to do laundry and pack and they might not have it! Damn. I'll just pack another bag to take, but wait....we drive right by Joann's on the way out of town, so I'll take this blanket and another just in case they don't have the yarn I need, whew! </div>

Home repair is something I do because it's just me and Katlyn so unless one of my boys is down visiting (Christopher) I do what needs to be done myself. Katlyn's bathroom door knob has been sticking, where she couldn't get out kind of sticking. So after her friend got stuck in the bathroom at 11:30 pm on Monday night and Katlyn had to wake me up to help I figured it was time to fix it. Well I did a temporary fix by changing her knob out with mine for now. I will get new knobs over the weekend for both bathrooms. So after many pictures and texts with Christopher trying to figure out HOW to remove the stupid knob in the first place...seriously, I can replace the front door and the bedroom ones with no problems but I could not figure out the bathroom one! Finally I got it off, it had been painted around and the paint decided it didn't want to let go! A hammer and a couple of screwdrivers convinced it otherwise and I only got a little bloody...oh the joys of owning my own home!</div>

I have taken to a new idea for use of scraps, I saw it somewhere...probably pinterest, that someone had a ball of mismatched yarns all tied together and actually I think it's Red Heart Boutique that does the same kind of thing, only the yarns in Boutique are the same colors and there are only 6 different yarns throughout a skein. Anyway...I have started my own ball of random fun. It's not very big yet as you can see, but I'm hoping it will grow as I finish up projects and have small bits of leftover yarn. </div>

I ordered some Simply Soft yarn from Joann.com because I saw this lovely striped blanket that was on a wrapper of the pink yarn I was using, but every time I went into the store to get the necessary yarns, they were always out of at least 1 of the colors and I knew if I didn't get them all at once I would never get them. So with a really good coupon that made up for the stupid shipping costs, I was able to order the 6 colors I needed and even got a giant yarn of gray for a gender neutral baby blanket for my new grandchild that is coming along in the Fall. Yay another one is coming! Not going to know the gender until late April though, so I am going do cute gender neutral ones. I am hoping for a boy though, then I'll have 1 of each!</div>

Katlyn and I went to Disneyland last week and she decided she needed to have a Mickey hair clip to wear. I wasn't driving, so I grabbed black yarn along with my new stripe blanket yarn for the drive down. Fairly straight forward, 3 circles sewn together and ta-da...Mickey! </div>

Katlyn asked me to make her a blanket for her to keep in her car. She likes lots of color but no holes. I found a granny pattern that was basically solid, she ok'ed it and we just needed to get colors picked. she remembered she want a blanket that looked like the off air television screen...you know the one with all the stripes and colors. Well she saw it in a book I've had for years, Debbie Stoller's The Happy Hooker. The pattern is called the Color-Bar Blanket of course though it's done in granny squares. I did up 2 squares in the solid pattern and then while working on my stripe blanket on the drive to Disneyland, I thought of doing solid panels just doing half double crochet all the way, to measure the same as 12 squares. Oh goodness...no millions of ends to weave and no putting 4 1/2 squares together! I'm a genius, ok maybe not, but I sure as heck made the blanket easier then it was going to be! So the first panel is done now in green and the second is underway in a royal blue. I am trying to get at least 1 row done on my Spectrum blanket in the evenings so I can see a tiny bit of progress on it but Katlyn doesn't get upset because I'm not working on her blanket :)</div>

I started Groot in the previous post and here now he has limbs and leaves, still no mouth yet nor is he anchored into his pot, but he's mostly finished. No really sure why he's not done yet, I guess I feel like he's missing something. I do know he's fatter then the pictures on Twinkie Chan's blog where the pattern is posted. I'm sure he'll get done soon.</div>

I started a baby blanket for the same friends who are expecting a little girl this month. Had a lovely idea to do a simple pink and black blanket, wide rows of pink with 1 or 2 rows of black in between and then border in black and add a pink bow. Easy and quick....or so I thought. It has turned into a major undertaking. I bought what I thought based on past blankets, enough yarn. I was wrong. Since the only pink I really liked was Simply Soft, I switched to an H hook. Smaller hook equals the need for a longer starting chain....again wrong. Now at 4 rows into this I felt the need to rip it out and start over. Maybe a bigger hook and a shorter starting chain, but I persevered even though I really didn't feel it. </div>

February brings hearts and I ran across an adorable and easy little crocheted heart in my Facebook feed on day. (Flamingo Toe's on FB) I thought that they would look cute strung across the fireplace since it's been looking so empty since removing the Christmas decor. Made about a dozen or so in different pinks and strung them on white yarn, and done! Below is my yarn bowl that I used to toss in the hearts as I finished them. I have also made some for Katlyn to wear in her hair at work since she normally wears the flowers I make.</div>

So we finally were able to take a road trip to see Brooke and the boys. Really hard trying to get the days off coordinated with Katlyn's schedule over Christmas and Valentine's is going to have her working long hours as well, so when she had a scheduled weekend off, she was able to extend it and off we went. The fog was heavy and thick nearly the entire drive, that's what we get for leaving at 3 am. Katlyn drove and she didn't mind the fog as much as I did. </div>

Now we've done this trip up to the Bay area a lot. We know the exits for gas and where the rest areas are pretty nearly by heart. We also know that the Richmond-San Rafael bridge has a $5 toll in the North direction...guess who had no cash! Yikes, I forgot to get cash!! I always carry a bit of cash on our road trips and for some reason I forgot to get some. So my plan, since Katlyn had no cash either, was to gather change. She was not keen on this idea at all. I managed to get the $5 together, in mostly quarters even but the girl was not happy still. Ok neither was the booth attendant, me I was hysterical, I mean seriously people, it's not like I did it intentionally nor will she have to see the booth attendant again and we had the $5! New rule, emergency $5 bill in the car at all times!</div>

Car shopping is up next. Katlyn has been using her Aunt's extra vehicle to get back and forth to work but of course being as she is 20, she really wanted her own car. After a few false leads with other cars I called my Brother who I forgot actually works a car dealership. Found out that he works for a Chevy dealer and that was that for Katlyn. He ran numbers on different cars for her and found that with the down payment she had saved and a rebate, she could get a new car. Monday morning we headed to Cerritos. She test drove 2 models of the Cruze and they let her drive a Camaro (out of her price range but her dream car) and picked the Cruze she wanted. 2015 Chevy Cruze with 8 miles on it. My girl is a very happy girl. She paid for it all herself, I'm so proud. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took my yarn bag with me and hooked along while waiting. My Brother laughed at me, thinking that I was silly for bringing yarn out but I got a lot done in all of that time sitting around.</div>

I bought some orange cotton yarn to go with the red. I'm thinking of making a Fire Demon...just have to work it out. I'm trying not to crochet anything other then the pink blanket so I can get it finished up and shipped before the baby is born! Katlyn just laughs and makes fun because according to her the pink blanket is still a rectangle. It's now a running joke. No matter how much I work on it, it is always a rectangle instead of becoming a square. One day...one day!</div>

And that's it for now, I'd really like to get a decent picture of the pink blanket, but it's kind of large for photos I think, though spreading it out on my bed would work if I could keep the dogs from traipsing all over it! I'll try on Saturday. I'm going to get new tires on my car Saturday morning so I will take the blanket to work on while waiting, maybe I can get it finished this weekend!</div>

Next up I decided I needed a new cowl. Ok.... I actually really wanted to use some fancy yarn I had on hand. I have a lot of miscellaneous fancy yarns but with most of it, I only have 1 hank which of course isn't really a lot of yardage generally. Which leaves me the problem of what to do with these lovely yarns. So driving home from work I was thinking about colors, something I do often...random color combos pop into my head I I go from there. I had this hank of Noro Tanabata (middle in the photo) which had lovely oranges throughout so I thought it would look great with this super rich orange hank of Mulberry Merino by Plymouth Yarn Co. Get home and pull them out...instant love. what to do with them? A simple cowl! Just needed another color so I grabbed the Olive Green Lamb's Pride that was a giant mess of tangled yarn thanks to Stein and got to work...well first I have to untangled the green and then ball the hanks of the other 2 colors and then I got to pick up a hook!</div>

Really the weather did get quite chilly for a couple of weeks and I made another cowl. This time I did pink and gray. I used Bernat Bamboo in Lotus, Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora in gray (or color 15524 as stated on the label) and Sensations Beautiful in Pink. Made it a bit shorter and I like it! The yarns are all super soft and the colors are sweet.</div>

So at this point in the month I really, really should have been working on Christmas gifts, but lately just don't feel as if anyone gives a rats behind for handmade gifts anymore, so I decided to just be crafty for myself. I wanted a snowman....I made a snowman. Wasn't hard, just took a bit of creativity and out popped a snowman!</div>

Katlyn had to go into work at 10 am on Christmas, so we went to my Sister's early so the kids could do presents. Facetiming with Brooke so we could share Christmas together and a knock at the door reveals my Christmas surprise....Brandon and his girlfriend! Yay! Did I mention I love Christmas!</div>

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are now in December, officially Christmas time! My Sister asked for a headband in black and brown. Man I love making these, they I super simple and I can whip one up in an evening. This one was done in between pie making! The only thing I don't care for is the band around the bow is not quite tight enough, I like the bow a bit more cinched. My Sister liked it, so I guess that's all that matters.</div>

Other things I made in between flowers included, a coffee cozy (or 2). My Son's girlfriend posted a picture on facebook of a coffee cozy with a heart that she loved, so I made one for her. Another friend saw and loved it as well, so I made one for her as well. I tried 2 different hearts out and played with the size of the cozy as well. These were stupid quick to make up and I was able to pop them in the mail the next day. </div>

Now comes the present rush. Things I of course should have been getting done instead of reading, but alas did not quite happen. Today is the 26th of November. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I will be making pies today. The boss is letting us go early today so yay! Now on with the show!</div>

A friend's daughter requested a floppy bunny ear hat, done in soft, fluffy yarn. The yarn is crazy bulky, Bernat Baby Blanket. Makes doing a hat very interesting being as it's so bulky and you cannot just whip it up without thinking! I frogged it twice and did a lot of winging it just so it looked proper and that's just the beanie it self, I still need to add ears!</div>

So next up in my mess of unfinished projects is a Minnie Mouse hat for my sister-in-law. Has the base beanie done for quite awhile, but left without ears and a red bow. I am not a fan of working with black yarn, so hard to see what I need to do. Made some nice round ears and started the bow.</div>

Now I've been coloring my hair for a very, very long time. I am tired of doing so. I do it myself and it has just become more hassle then I care to deal with. So at 52 years of age, I have decided it's time to go gray, which judging from my roots will take no time at all (ok the growing out is obviously going to take time) I made this decision on November 20th and took a picture. I was planning to color my hair on the Saturday (the 22nd) and came up with the whole...growing it out thing. Let's see how long I can last. Katlyn thinks I'll look old, but said if I don't like it I can always go back to dying and I haven't told anyone else about it, but I'm going to go along and see how it turns out. I am going to take a photo once a month to mark the growth, should be interesting.</div>

Trying to get back into things. Working on it slowly and getting things finished up. Of course the time change has now happened and that makes me very sleepy, very early in the evening....I can't wait to adjust to it so I am not going to bed at 9pm! So now on with the few things I am doing or have done.</div>

Now that Katlyn has her fox scoodie, she wondered if I could make some fingerless gloves with paw prints to match. Great except I didn't have enough yarn for 2 gloves. Joann's didn't have any of the Lion Brand Wool Ease Chunky I used for the scoodie, but we found Bernat Roving that matched nicely enough that it all worked out. Too bad I never took a picture of the finished project! </div>

So got them done and worked on attaching them and guess what??? They don't stand up!!! Nothing I do will make them stand up! Never have I failed to badly with a project, I was so very close to tears when I gave up, of course this giving up in the day before Halloween and it is now too late to do anything about getting a replacement. Katlyn comes home and asks me how I'm going to fix them, to which I reply "I'm sure you 2 can figure something out" she wasn't thrilled with that answer, so we think it over and come up with a possible fix. We have buuny ears from ages ago when she was a bunny and those ears stand up just fine, maybe I can do something with them! Of course I work on Halloween, so I guess I shall haul everything in with me!</div>

So guess what? I got everything to come together and ears to stand up and FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES!! I am the worst! Anyway, did a bit a crochet magic and basically did covers for the bunny ear headband. I folded the headband ears, taped them so they stayed and slipped a hot pink bunny ear ever the entire ear, times 2! Halloween successful! (except for the lack of pictures, maybe the girls have photos...)</div>

That's it for now, I have 2 other finished hats (with photos) ready to blog about and a couple of little things done. Will work on getting another post very soon.</div>

I am so tired of hot! I have never run my A/C more then I have this year. At least being inside the air conditioned house I was able to deal with crocheting and having a blanket that needed to get completed by my Mom's birthday on the 27th. Worked and worked and got it done! Whew! Don't have a full spread out looking lovely shot of the blanket, but have it in my lap while working on it and done a folded up with Max laying on top of it before I washed and wrapped it.

A twin sized blanket which makes for a nice a snuggly lap blanket when sitting in her new chair while watching TV. I used Red Heart Super Saver in Dark Orchid, Orchid and Soft White. The pattern is from an old book of afghans I have had for years (which I cannot recall the name of said book) the pattern is called Coral Waves, (which is probably because of the colors they used) and super simple though looks fabulous!</div>

Brandon's requested scarf of many colors is coming along. It's super easy peasy and portable for when I'm hanging out at my Sister's. I just grab random yarns and toss them into my bag and crochet a stripe for a bit and then switch colors. Just have to be mindful of yarn weight because even though I grab worsted weight when picking colors, they are not all the same when worked up and throws the scarf into a wonky spin of which I do not care for and have to rip out rows of work. Normally not a huge deal but when I have a certain yarn I used waaaayyy back at the beginning and I thought I could get over it.....yeah nope couldn't and have to get rather creative with my ripping skills and then again with my repairing skills! </div>
