crafty me
I finished a baby blanket yesterday. This wouldn't be funny except that I started it for a friend's baby when she was pregnant... two babies and 2 1/2 years ago. That "baby" just turned 2 in October. I have this habit of starting craft projects and then letting them languish in Ziploc bags for eons until I feel like working on them some more. I also have a 1/4 finished cross-stitch -- got in a little over my head on that one -- which I started for my parents in 1998, as well as a daisy afghan which I meant as a second-birthday present for my daughter who is now five. That one has a story, but I am not sure I have the energy to go into it right now. Also, I made up for the lack of a blanket for the friend's baby by sending her a dress I'd started making for my daughter... who is, do the math, three years older than hers. I think it is some kind of incurable disease.
Anyway, here's the blanket:
Is it blocks with yellow tops? Or blocks with alternating green and blue tops? Or is it stars? Or is it Q-Bert's little tower thingie? You decide.)
Next I think I'll work on the Christmas doily I started two years ago. Or else maybe I'll start some new projects, because after all, I don't have anything scheduled for the winter of 2006 yet.
