April Puffy

As some of you may know.. I love to crochet.

For almost 2 years, I have been part of an online crochet group - Crochetlist.
Within that group, I am a member of the monthly dischloth exchange. Each month we create a dishcloth and mail it to our assigned partner. Usually, we add little extras in the envelope - teas, recipes, patterns, small things. This sometimes makes the envelope - puffy.

It's always exciting when I get a "puffy" in the mail. The kids and even the cats (as you an see in the picture) can't wait to tear into the puffy.
My April partner is Sue Peterson from Michigan.

Doesn't look like Leo is saying... Hands off lady! This is mine.


The round crocheted scrubbie matched the crocheted dishcloth. It's been called a tawashi. I've made several of these to give away - this is the first time one has been sent to me. I loved it! Mahalo Sue!

Here a square.. there a square...

Here's a picture of an 8 inch afghan square. I found the pattern online and made it to send to a fellow crocheter for her project.

I'll try to post the website if I can. Still trying to figure this Blog thing out.

But the square is just the beginning...

Back to School

Wow, this week has been a much needed relief for me. The kids went back to school from winter break, our 1st PTSA meeting was this week, I began an online class in Administrative Assistant Fundamentals, also started in a new online crochet class (pictures to follow on my crochet project, joined the 2008 50 Book Challenge @ Crochetville, and began the task of dissolving the girls "TV" room, to a no-tv, no-play room. More details about that to follow in another post.

I'm glad that the kids are out of my hair, Roy's back to work and I can get moving with my life.

I'm looking forward to getting a job, gaining some self-confidence, and de-stress my life.

So, I'm gonna stop here and go to work on my crochet project - Bottom up Pineapple Shawl.

Till then..
