Another Beautiful Spring Day

It's another beautiful Spring day here in SW Michigan. The sun is shining and it's 71* outside. Not quite as warm as it has been this week, but still beautiful! School is moving right along....I am trying (and so far remaining) to stay ahead in my classes and still enjoy them! This semester will be over before you know it, that's for sure! Have had very little time to dedicate to my crocheting or knitting, so planning to do a little of each today and this weekend! :) Have to make the time, as they help keep me sane! :)

Is Spring Here??

It's a beautiful Spring day here in SW Michigan! The sun is shining brightly and it is 77 degrees outside! Sure NOT a typical March day for this part of Michigan, but I certainly won't complain about it! Been keeping busy with the school work....this semester certainly is keeping me super busy!! Can't wait for this semester to be OVER!!! ONLY 8 more weeks to go! :) Think today I will try to sneak in a little crochet time! Want to get these two round ripple baby afghans finished. Don't have much to do on either one of them, so they shouldn't take too long!

I've started yet another round ripple baby afghan. This one is for my sister's granddaughter Madison who was born over the weekend. I really like the colors of this one. I am using Bernat Baby Softee and an "h" hook for this one to make it work up really soft! I still have the other round ripple that I am doing for a friend of my cousins on another hook! It will be finished here real soon! We have had a couple of really nice 60* days here in SW Michigan, although it has been very windy....at least we had some sunshine! I LOVE it!

Boy am I Behind :)

My baby girl playing basketball for the Climax-Scotts 8th grade girls team (she's number 51). This is from one of her games early last week. These girls are awesome ball players........look out high school next fall!! :) I never would have thought that out of our 5 kids, my baby girl would be the sports nut :) She really does enjoy playing ball and is looking forward to softball in the spring/summer. On another note, it is our middle son's 26th Birthday today! Happy Birthday Charlie! We love you!! Hope you are having a great day, even if you do have to work on your birthday! I have managed to finish 2 article reviews and a rough draft of my cause and effect English Comp. paper in the past week. Doesn't seem like March should be nearly here already. This semester of school is going by rather fast for me! Hope everyone has a great Monday!!

Another New Knit Dishcloth Finished :)

I just finished this very pretty and very easy wavy lace knit dishcloth this evening! I love the way it turned out! I used a size 7 needles and Lily Peaches and Creme Scents in Lavender! http://idoallmyownstunts.typepad.com/i-do-all-my-own-stunts/2009/08/i-like-knitting.html for the pattern for this cloth

Finally finished this knit lace dishcloth for a dishcloth KAL in one of the groups I belong too. Surprisingly, the pattern was pretty easy and worked up quickly! I also finished this "Rainy Day" knit dishcloth....also an easy pattern!

This is a knitted lace dishcloth that I am working on in a KAL in one of the craft groups that I belong too. I am pleased with how it is turning out so far!
