Looks like my phone and google like each other today!
This is a granny square made with a yarn color called Bubble Gum. It's a premium sweet roll. It'll be 4 sweet rolls in size. What looks like gray on the right is just shadow.
Temperature scarf, up to date as of this morning.
Temperature afghan, folded in half on the ottoman, and laid out flat on the floor. I love how it's turning out!
Easter is this Sunday! We're going to Mike and Donna's for dinner. I made my shopping list out this morning, and we'll go food shopping tomorrow. I'm making pasta salad, cole slaw, corn casserole, sweet potatoes with pineapple and cherries in the crock pot, and a lemon trifle. Ham will be the main course, as usual.
Julianna has been wanting to sew, so she and Heather came up last weekend and got my travel machine, a Janome Jem platinum. We did a short lesson, and found the manual online. She raided my fabric closet, which she was very impressed by. She said she may visit me every week! She can't be here more than a few hours at a time due to her cat allergy.
When they got home, Heather texted me pix of Jules sitting at the dining room table sewing, making little pillows. The next day she cleaned and rearranged her room to make a sewing corner! The next day Heather got her a small table/desk to keep the machine on. I'm so happy that she's discovered a new passion!
I'm caught up on all the series I watch on network TV, so I have to find a new series to watch on Netflix.
Tuesday it rained, then it snowed, then it sleeted. Wednesday it just snowed and snowed and snowed! 8 to 10 inches worth!
I worked on a springy looking baby afghan. I love the colors- the yellow is more a spring yellow than gold.
Temperature afghan and scarf are looking really good! I hope I don't have to do any more white for snow rows til next winter!
Google finally updated my pix from my phone! This was at Heather and Ed's St Patrick's Day party.
Mike and Donna brought Joey to the party. He was so thrilled to win the best costume for kids prize!
Eddie played for us! He likes heavy metal, and was playing Stairway to Heaven. Ed's sister Colleen and their friend Maria were terrible backup singers!
Julianna did part of her dance class routine for us. The girl is flexible!
The snow is already melted off the driveway and roads, and Ralph has cleared pathways for the feral cats.
And it's Friday again! No big plans for the weekend, just lunch at Olive Garden with Frank and Charlotte on Sunday.
I finished this afghan last week, but my photos didn't share to the blog site til this morning.
So then I started one in these wonderful colors!
Temperature scarf as of last Wednesday, it's up to date.
Temperature afghan is looking good!
We went to lunch at what Ralph calls the Quiche Diner. He had banana walnut pancakes with a side of scrapple.
I took a lot of pix at Heather and Ed's party, but only the one has shared with google so far. We had such a good time! At one point there were probably 50 people there! Lots of food, of course!
And the best news, we got an offer for Mom's house! Papers are all signed for a settlement the end of April. Much as we're sad to see it leave the family, since Dad and Mom built it, we're happy that another family will be able to build memories there.
And there's snow in the forecast for the first day of spring!!!!
So we had some snow! Almost a foot for us, of heavy wet snow. It rained, then snowed, then rained, then snowed and snowed and snowed!
I took this apart down to the center, because I hated it. It was a traditional granny, where you turn at the end of each round.
Now it looks like this so far- I'm on the last sweet roll of yarn. I like it much better! I changed it so that instead of turning at the end of the round, I slipped stitch to the next chain 3 space and picked it up from there.
Temperature afghan! I love how the colors are mixed. I have to get to the 60's in temp before a new color-yellow- will come in.
Temperature scarf is also coming along.
Today's goal is to finish the green afghan (again) and to sew the flower buttons onto Steph's firehouse, which will make it a FFO and I can mail it out to her along with a check to get it framed. And to do today's temp rows- the color of the day is arctic ice, since the low was 28.
We had our first Rita's of the season on March 1, which was a beautiful day. Lemon water ice for Ralph, a chocolate water ice with vanilla custard gelati for me. March 2 it first rained all night, then snowed all day!
Julianna had a birthday! She's now 11! It was her first birthday without her birthday twin, her great grandmother, so we were all sad about that, but she had a nice party with grandparents and friends. And her mom and dad let all 5 of her friends sleep over!
Afghan almost finished! It's the mitered modern granny afghan pattern, made with HL cakes and an H hook. It might be my new favorite pattern! I actually finished it the following day- I used 6 cakes.
Temperature afghan! It's twice as wide; it's folded in half. I love how it's coming along. A simple ripple with a G hook, picking up back loops only.
Temperature scarf, also coming along. Just single crochet, 40 stitches wide, back loops only, also with a G hook.
Ralph and his baby, Tina. He carries her around wrapped up- she'd shred me if I tried that!
In February I read 9 books, 4 of which were on my Kindle.
And so it goes!
