End of Spring Semester

I passed my two classes. I swear going to school at my age is like having another full time job. I'm so glad that I had enough time in my sick leave bank so that I could take those 2 days off per week. I was able to get my homework done on those days. 

Introduction to Topographic Maps

I am so glad that I found this video. I used it to study for my Geography test this Monday.

Filet Crochet

I went looking for a simple crochet pattern for a table runner the other day because my knitting student wants to make one for her daughter. I wound up finding this Spanish video on YouTube from "LaboresAngelika."

It's supposed to be a tablecloth if I decide to make and attach more squares. For now, I think I will keep just this one and move on to doilies.

Gradient Crochet Thread

Ooh! I purchased the last 4 skeins of this Katia crochet thread on clearance. The first thing that popped into my mind was to make a sample doily because the thread is so thin. I found an easy pattern from Crochet Jewel on YouTube and now I can't stop because the results are so awesome!

Christmas Angel Cross Stitch Continues

I finished my last knit project feeling a little unsatisfied with it. I don't even want to rip it back for the moment. I just wasn't in the knitty kind of mood so I picked up a cross stitch project that I started a few days ago and just kept at it taking advantage of the natural day light. 

A Christmas Plate

I found two Christmas plates at TJMaxx that made their way into my shopping basket. The intention originally was to gift them to friends but I just couldn't part with them. My "solution" was to gift a plate to each one of my daughters - teehee. I have been using them more than they have.

Dodger Blue Baby Blanket

I finished that baby blanket and delivered it to my friend. I was able to memorize the pattern after a few rounds. This was the first time using this Anne Geddes baby yarn from Red Heart and probably my last as the yarn got very shaggy.
