Welcome to 2013

Happy New Year! And a happy birthday to me.

I have been crocheting afghans all week. I bought my missing yarn for the one I had been working on and picked up what was needed for one I saw earlier.

My circular afghan in Barrington, Tudor, Regency, and Mixed Berries. It is really soft, and really large. I haven't measured it but the pattern said it's about 54" across.


Then there's this hexagonal pinwheel-ish afghan in Quartz. It's considerably smaller and is more a lapghan than and afghan.


Both are made with Homespun.

Onyx was really looking cute the other day as she lay next to me. (Please ignore my messy bed)

 

Today (ok, it was 11pm on new year's eve) I started Sebastian with Roses. I need to choose which GK WIP I'll work on through the year. I have a choice of mainly browns, or blue/green. Or I could always go back to In the Garden but that's almost all gray/black. I may start a new TW, or I could fix what I did wrong and try and finish Peacock Tapestry.



Also to start my year out right, I won Day 7 of Crochet Concupiscence's giveaway. Four crochet books. Yay me!

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

DWTS season 19: week 7

Tommy. It was muddy and he seemed to forget some of it. As usual. I notice they didn't mention the break in hold during the dance. Too high. Lea. It felt careful. It could've used more power, controlled power. It felt like she was walking through it. Not worth 9s. Bethany. I liked it and her dress. I think she missed a step during a side by side but got caught up. There were moments she could've filled instead of just pausing. I don't know if it was 10s definitely 9s. Antonio. Not a lot of actual Viennese Waltz. He didn't do much. I agree with the scores. Michael. Just, no. 5s are generous. Janel. A tad slow for a Viennese Waltz. But it was interesting. A little low. Alfonso. She danced around him a lot. I didn't see too much hip action. Technique needs work. I'll give him the scores based on performance. Sadie. The character didn't work with the dance. She was too loose. I'll give them the scores. Team dances Its...
