I Finished It!

Good evening!
I am very happy to report that I have FINALLY gotten my sweetie’s blanket finished!! YEAH!! It took me about a month and a half, and 12 skeins of yarn to get this finished!!

This is the first blanket I have ever made that had some semblence of a pattern for! All of my other blankets have been just me, pretending like no one will notice that my edges are exactly straight – ok, so they acually bore no resemblence to straightness, but it was all about getting the practice!! Crocheting is something that really relaxes me, and I would LOVE to be good at it someday!!

As for now, I am VERY HAPPY that my sweetie loves his blanket, and has been toting it around the house as if he were Linus, and he is just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it!!! How cute!! 😉

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

A Friday Night Short Post!

Good evening!

I am in the middle of crocheting like a fiend – I am really wanting to get this blanket done for my sweetie! I have already crocheted 4 skeins worth in the last two days, and have 5 more skeins at my disposal, thanks to my sweetie!!! 😉

This picture is the color of variegated yarn I have chosen, chocolate, tan, and baby blue!! I like it because the baby blue is the color of my sweetie’s eys, and the brown is the color of mine! Even though it will be his blanket, he has agreed that the best place for it will be on our bed in the master bedroom! Which is just PERFECT, because our walls are a very beautifully coordinated blue color, and everything else in our room is either white, or a beautiful chocolate brown.

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section! 🙂

I am crocheting this blanket like one GIAGANTIC granny square, that way it ends up in a very large, simple, but lovely blanket that should cover our bed very nicely! 😉

I did promise that I would share pictures of it with you, but I am determined to get it done and THEN I will share pics with you!!! I guess you should probably know, I am just stubborn like that! 😉

Anyway, as I get back to crocheting like crazy…

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

A Husband & His Brownie Points!

Good evening!

On my way home from work this evening, my sweetie texted me to let him know when I got home. When I got here I texted:

“I am here”

“OK, Baby, go straight to your favorite seat in the living room, and sit down.” I read.

“ok.” I replied. “why???”

No response. “Hmmm…”

I got into the house, dropped my things off in their respective homes, let the dogs into the living room, and then headed over to my favorite living room seat, and what did I see???

A beautifully wrapped package!! What a NICE surprise!!! Inside was a lovely box of French chocolate mint truffles – my FAVORITE!!! The movie Tangled, which is something that I am VERY EXCITED to watch!! and the SWEETEST card!! Talk about a man making BROWNIE POINTS!!!

Then he walked in with his arms full of groceries, which means he took care of that HUGE chore without any prompting from me, and then proceeded to give me another item to go with my gift!! The newest InStyle magazine!! YEAH!!! He knows the way to this girl’s heart!!! When I asked him what the reason for all of this goodness was, he simply replied,

“You needed to know you’re worth it!”

AAAAAAH!! WHAT A MAN!!! 😉

I love you so much, Baby-Jay!! I can’t wait to spend some time this evening hanging out with you, having fun, being silly, and have a blast laughing!! YOU ARE MY WORLD!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉
