I am working on an afghan that I would like to enter into our street fair this year in September. I just hope I that can get it done. Working so many hours and trying to do something that I enjoy just sometimes doesn't work out. I have also been trying to work in my flower beds out in our backyard, in between the rain that we have been having. At least everything is growing including the weeds ;) The afghan is a pattern from Leisure Arts book. 63 easy to crochet pattern stitches combine to make an heirloom afghan. So far it hasn't really been that hard. Its keeping me brushed up on all the stitches. Plus I am working on a baby afghan. The baby afghan is due in Aug. so I have been working on it in the evening before bed. I think everything will get finished at least I hope so.

I have been working on a new afghan pattern that I found in Crochet World April 2010. It has been pretty easy. Just time consuming having to sew the trinangles together. Then the strips. But I think it has been worth all the work. I have used my own colors instead of using the colors that they have used in the pattern. I like greens and browns,also the quilt looks more homey and the colors go with just about any color that you would have in a room. Now all I have to do is the edging. That should be a breeze!!! Can't wait to get it finished.
