Weekend Plans...

Okay, so I just read one of the many blogs that I frequent (Lesalicious) and decided that I will spend much of the weekend working on my tank and some 6 inch squares for Lesa's little girl. Lesa I am so sorry that you and your little one are going through so much. I will make some squares and get them in the mail to you ASAP. I will also be sending up some prayers for you and your family. Stay strong.

Write Later...

Crochet World...

Good Day All.

It's been a little while since I last wrote so here it goes.
Light 'N Lively Tank: It's been a process but it is coming together nicely. Last week I had to frog a bit of it. Last night I worked on it for about two hours (with the interruptions of the little ones). So here's a picture of what it looked like when I frogged it last week.




So far...so good. I like it. :)

Here's what it looks like now (2 shots)...

You can see the progress and it's starting to flow nicely. I don't necessarily like the fact that I can see the increases but I still like the pattern. I want to wear this for the 4th of July so I can show off my crochet skills. :) With that said, back to work again tonight....
As for the baby blanket...I haven't given it much thought at all. Laura had a great suggestion that was very similar to my thoughts (rubber ducky squares). See previous comment section to see what she said. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I can't find a pattern to work from for the duck. :( I am not giving up just yet. I work on something this week. If anyone knows where I can find a pattern (for a simple duck - cross stitch), please let me know.
Some non-crochet news...
I tried this http://craftychristina.blogspot.com/2008/04/empanadas.html on Tuesday night (for the Celtics game). Which reminds me...GO CELTICS!!! I am sure my grandfather would have been proud. Anyway, Christina, the empanadas were great but I think I was missing something. My flavor was a little bland or maybe it was the ground turkey... Not to worry, I am trying them again this weekend.
Talk to you all soon...
