My Hall of Shame Projects

Well my friends you will remember me talking about all my unfinished projects
around here......My Hall of Shame, I call it.
Today I thought I would show you what it consists of.

This is the first Afghan


 This would be Afghan #2


Afghan #3....The Granny Square


Afghan #4......The Ripple


Afghan #5.....plain striped (this is a request)


Afghan #6..... Granny Stripe ala Attic 24


My shawl Elise


What do you think? Is that not a Hall of Shame?
Will they ever be finished?
???????


Grumpy Kitty says:" Please don't look down on my mommy because
she has so many unfinished projects. She can't help herself. If she sees something
new and exciting she has to try it. I have been trying to keep her of Pinterest
so she quits finding all those exciting projects and finishes what
she has started, but to no avail. It is hopeless, I think.
Maybe if you all encouraged her to work on the old stuff first,
maybe I would get a Blankie to sleep and leave my hair on.
So would you please help me out? Pleaassseee!!!"


Reminder: You can all still sign up for my give-away here until Sunday the 16th of March and we will pull a winner on Monday the 17th of March. So please go ahead and enter.

Till next time my friends from my neck of the woods. Have a wonderful sunny and happy weekend!

52 Week Crochet Challenge, Week 2

Hallo my Friends! Sorry my post to this challenge is a day late, but I had to work quite a few extra hours in the last few days.

The challenge this week was to either to start a Crochet Notebook, Journal, Scrapbook or Blog. Since I already had my blog for a while I decided on a Crochet Notebook/Journal.

First I was going to use a Scrapbook that I had 
planned on using for some vacation pictures.


I ended up using another empty Journal that
I had in the house.


Than I started by adding my last project:
The Bunting


Wrote down the date,
the project name,
where I found the pattern,
and at the end added a piece of yarn
from each of the colors used.


If I would have still had the color numbers,
I would have added them as well.
Next time.

I am also thinking of having some pictures printed out, so I can add them at a later point. Think that would add the final touch. When I can, I will also add a drawn pattern of it, so I will have a reference for a later time. It's strange, but I never thought about making a journal before, but I think it will be really nice to have to look back on, besides the blog.

Now I thought I would still tell you all a little story. Yesterday, while I was at work my patient went to sleep for a while and I thought I would go and stretch my legs for a bit. They have a huge garden filled with all kinds of flowerbeds etc. and so I grabbed my IPhone with which I take most of my pictures and off I went. I looked at a few flowerbeds to see if anything was popping up yet, when I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye. What did I see? A woodpecker on one of the trees. Well of course I wanted a picture of it. So there I go slowly, trying to sneak up on the bird. It was moving a bit and I thought it would fly off at any moment. Than finally I decided I better take the picture before it was to late and I did. But low and behold, it didn't matter how close I came, the bird still didn't fly off. Well guess what? You are going to laugh......

It was a fake bird.......HaHaHa


Ok, you all can laugh now. I deserve it!

But I did also see some little flowers making their appearances
in the garden.








Are they not pretty?
I was so happy to see them.
A sign of Spring at last.

With that I bit you all farewell
till next time
from my neck of the woods.
