Vintage Stripe...

I first posted about my vintage stripe here. Well, this is what it looks like today...

I think I am getting close to finishing it. I love working on it because it covers me so nicely, keeping me warm...

I am going to do a large edging on it but I am still thinking about how I want to create it. I have a few favorite ideas from this book...

Today we are enjoying some rain. There was a 90% chance of it, but when I woke up to go to church this morning and there wasn't a cloud in sight, I had my doubts. Hoping you are having a restful and blessed sunday.

New books and a New Project...

I love to read and I have recently acquired some new books from my local book store and from the book fair we had last week at school where I teach. I can't wait to read them.

I am currently reading two books. Dragonfly In Amber is the second book in a series by Diana Gabaldon. I read the first book, Outlander, back in February. This one is just as good and it's borrowed from the library. Gotta love the library...

I Still Believe is the story of Jeremy Camp. He is a Christian singer/artist and this book tells his life story. I love his music. My friend Penny let me borrow it and it has been very interesting so far. God has really used Jeremy's life in a remarkable way. 

I love finding new crochet patterns. Sometimes, instead of printing them out I write them down on a scrap piece of paper. This is a pattern I found on Lion Brand for a wash cloth.

I am working on a new project...

And, we are finally using a crochet wash cloth for the dishes. Well, I should say the kids are... So far it's been hard for them to get use to because they have only used a sponge with a scrubby side up until now.

Now for a little "mom bragging".  My son, who is a high school junior, runs for the varsity track team. In yesterdays track meet he ran the 800 meter in 2 minutes 5 seconds, coming in first place and creating a new personal best for himself. My daughter, who is a high school freshman, is on the pole vault team and will be at her very first track meet next thursday.  So proud of my kids...

Happy St. Patricks Day...

I found this cute clover at Tangled Happy yesterday. It was designed by LilySong and can be found on Ravelry. It was so easy to make. I used some cotton yarn for this one but I know it would look really cute in a soft dark green yarn as well.

A Back And A Face Washer...

I have been wanting to do this for a while, crochet a back washer. I also made a little face washer. I used Sugar and Cream cotton yarn in Ecur. I can't wait to use these.
