Crazy Quilt Progress . . .

 I love making crazy quilts and some black and white fabric got me to thinking . . . I decided to go through my fabric scraps and do a Dresden Plate pattern that would stand out from the background but still 'agree' with the background. I've gotten the circles sewn down to their background and am just thinking about what like of backing I'd like for it. I keep saying that I won't continue on this one until I get a half completed one finished. So far, two incomplete quilts!

Guilty as Caught and Charged!

 Caught in the act! The cat showed some taste in disliking our old and ugly drapes but took matters into her own paws and turned the floor-length drapes into cafe curtains! Just the look on her face shows she knows she might not have done the right thing. We were planning on replacing the aging drapes with blinds . . . The cat just gave us some premature encouragement!

Mission Accomplished or Crocheting Project Completed!

 My crocheting time is limited to an hour or so before bedtime so this baby blanket too a bit of time to do. I love to use thin, fine yarn but soon realize how long it takes . . . about row three of the project! I did not give up, however, and the blanket is now completed. Just waiting for an address from my friend so I can mail it to her daughter. It's the first grandchild for my friend so I wanted to make the gift special.

Now, I need another crocheting project as I don't like idle hands. Hey, I need an excuse to sit there and watch television!
