Spring has Sprung!

Not much to show for my crafting this time around, but I do have some photos of the flowers in my messy garden. My FIL planted the garden when the in-laws were living in this house, and we haven't done much with it since. I added one plant, and I try to weed every now and then. Here are some photos of what we have growing at the moment.

And some project updates:

These are a few face cloths I've made for the Adopt-A-Mom collection we have going on at work. We are going to try and put together some Mother's Day gift bags with various goodies in them.

Here's my latest find at the $1 store. They had a great variety, so of course I had to get too many of them. But I didn't have any girly ones in my stash, so now I'm set for a while. They need to be bordered.

That's it for the moment. Hope to have lots more flower photos, and even more progress pictures for my crafts, or better yet, maybe some FO's!

Baby Blanket Borders and a Lapghan

It's been over a month, and I don't feel like I have very much crafting to show off. Work has been very tiring, and I haven't even felt like crafting, which I should force myself to do so I can relax. It's settled a bit now, and I'm adding crafting into my daily routine as much as possible.

A few weekends ago I spent some quality time with my sisters and a close friend for girls weekend. During that time I taught our friend to sc around a baby blanket to make a border. Don't think I got a picture of the one she was working on, but here are some that I've finished.

My sister has been plugging away at squares for lapghans. We're still trying to work through my stash of randomness. I'd like to start fresh, and get my craft room cleared out as much as possible so I can set it up for all of my crafty fun!

With all the 8 round grannies she finished previously, we set them out to be stitched together. I had one finished before girls weekend, and then I put another one together to show her how to join them. I hope she takes pictures of the one's she's completed, I love seeing the finished product. Here are the two that I've finished.

That's it for the moment. I have one more baby blanket to border, my Tree of Life to Knit, and my Kaleidoscope to work on. I'm sure there's plenty more I'm forgetting, but those are the one's I'm going to concentrate on the next few weeks, unless I get bored.
