This blanket was made using a pattern for download (FREE) on Alicia Paulson's Blog, Posie Gets Cozy . I did have some difficulty creating the edge that was given in the pattern but I think this was from my lack of experience as a crocheter (?). Instead, I used a shell border and I think it still looks so nice. I love the yarn color which is the brand (Blue Sky Alpacas) suggested in the pattern, and you can buy from Dancing Ewe Yarns. Folks, good yarn ain't cheap! But, with these beautiful results, I realize that it sure is worth it. Hey, in the picture the yarn is organic cotton. Very soft!
Lovely cafe colored baby blanket.
Chocolate chip cookie finale. A Ghiradelli chip, 70% cacao.
Take your Daughters and Sons to Work at the College of Staten Island. Cute and very lucky kids. They had a phenomenal day! Really tasty continental breakfast, loads of activities and privileges, pizza and cupcake party, and roam (I think in theory) of the campus!
My mom gave me this Singer 758 over twenty years ago! It still works very well. It just needed a few parts easily ordered online.
And my new Singer Curvy 8763!
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
