Purse


Look I made a cupcake purse!!! Isn't it so cute!!! A friend of mine told me about it and I just adore it. I had to make one. LOL. What a great idea for a gift!!! I am planning on making a few for family members for Easter. Then I can put candy and other stuff in them as their gift!!! Topanga from crochetville made this pattern and was very kind in letting my friend and I make these to sell on the etsy store! Thank you Topanga!!!

My lapghan


Well here is what I have been working on and have finally finished. It's is a lapghan or can even be a baby afhgan. I really like the varigated colors. I made it with granny squares. Gosh I didn't realize how much I really love different shades of purple.

Squares


Here are my squares that I made for this months square swap. I've got them done, in the envelopes and ready to send to my two swap friends.

The green one is a pattern I got off the internet called Butterfly Garden made by Chris Simon. The blue one I made from a Leisure Arts book called 99 Granny Squares to crochet.

My Birdfeeder


I bought this birdfeeder in November that I could attach to my kitchen window so I could watch the birds eat. Well this is one of the best things I ever did! I love watching the birds eating and chirping. I can almost touch them! Their a bit scared though and if I move they fly away. There are several different types of birds that come and visit me. I had a beautiful cardinal show up today. My hubby thinks I'm nuts. Everytime he comes in the kitchen and there are birds at the feeder I tell him to "stop!" "Don't move!" Look at the pretty birds. He just shakes his head at me. LOL. Now I want a larger size to attach to the window!

What day is it?

Gosh I can't believe how the days fly by lately! Here I am working on my dishcloths and thought I had more time before I had to make my 2 squares for the Delightful Discloth swap. They need to be out by the 15th and here it is the 5th!!! They don't take long and I only need to make 2 but I don't like waiting til last minute. I guess I better get moving on them.

I am also involved in our local libraries flower fundraiser. It's in April and I made up the flyers for it this year. This is the first time for me with this fundraiser since we just moved to this town. I am enjoying helping out. I need to print out 550 of these flyers and am waiting on one more thing I might need to add to the flyer. I have to have 350 printed out in another week to give to the boro manager so he can have them put in with the water bill for people to see. I hope I am contacted soon about adding to the flyer. Hmmmmm.
