Wow, it's May tomorrow

Wow, I can't believe tomorrow is May. It seems like my birthday and Easter were only a few days ago. In the SKY room, we all picked a few projects to work on during May and we have to PM them to Laura. Well I still dont have my list finalized and it's due tonight. I have DS's Spiralghan, Peter and Meghan's Wedding Granny Square Afghan, the Round Ripple I started, a few baby items to make, I need to start the Drumghan and I want to get going with Donna's birthday present, I won't say what it is here, although I'm dead positive she doesn't even know my blog exists.

Well here's a picture of the spiralghan so far:

That's my foot for comparison, I wear an 8 1/2 shoe (US size)


DS's rubber duckie wanted his picture taken with it. Actually, DS wanted to put him there.

Birthday

It's my birthday today, I'm officially 19 now. Went on an Easter egg hunt earlier with DS and my mom. He enjoyed it, even won a little stuffed giraffe for finding a camouflage egg. The whole thing tired him out.

Well I got home, and there was a package waiting for me. My lovely friend Wendy in Australia had sent me seven skeins of Red Heart, three pink and four blue! I'm so excited. I have to let it speak to me and tell me what it wants to be. I'm thinking a spiral-ghan, but who knows, it may want to be something else.

Irish Lace Scarf

Well I've been working on this scarf for over a week, its all dc and sc and it gets annoying after awhile so I keep having to put it down. Hopefully this will get finished by Easter, I don't want to have to worry about it at all. I still have to make the flowers and leaves to sew on, all for my mom's friend's birthday. Well, it's my friend's mother also so I want it to be done so we can give it to her.


Wow, completely forgot to post this and it's been sitting here for over a day. Well might as well update on today. Didn't get much done though, started a square, thats about it.

Well I finished two bookmarks today from thread, I'm very proud of myself. I still have to finish the CAL that I was a part of, but I can't bring myself to do it. Come Monday one of these is getting mailed to my friend Donna's mother. She had mentioned that the SHOL (silver haired old lady) likes to read.

Wow, I really suck at keeping a blog, not like anyone reads this anyway.

My birthday is in 8 days, on the 11th. No idea what I'm doing though, probably just crocheting. I've been working on this Irish Lace Scarf from Lionbrandyarns.com. It's cute, but it's for my mother's friend Mary for her birthday. I'm hoping to have it finished by my birthday, since her's isnt that long after, not sure which day though. I figure its a good goal anyway. I'm also working on a thread bookmark for Donna's mom, she mentioned she likes to read, so that will be finished and going out in the mail tomorrow. Donna sent me a RAOK, a book with 8 different afghan patterns!!!! I can't wait to try them all! I'm so excited. I was to make the Spiral Afghan for my son is brown and green, his bedding is all jungle-ish and our bedroom is green also.
