my wintery cuddly make-it-all-better blankie

                    ah. dont you love winter weather. it rains, it pours. i crochet.
                    not only do i crochet, but i put off anything besides.
                            { i have been quite firm with those dishes.}
                    i had the nicest little visitor yesterday,,,,and she and i both
                         decided that the three chain link joining method was the one.
                          
                          so with no hesitation...this morning i set out to do just so.
                         if all goes well, i'll be snuggling under a finished blanket..soon.
                           look..someone loves it already..make that  two.
                                             [ps. thank you mandy]

late night

its amazing how tired you can be, and yet when the notion to quilt strikes you all day and your children have entirely different plans for you so that not an ounce of that quilting itch gets scratched...you can stay up into the wee hours of the morning with the vim and vigor of a 20year old doing your quilting  { i'll pay for this tomorrow }

trouble and his accomplice will be bouncing out of bed in , oh about 5 hours and some change...ready to tackle the world. will i ? { i do believe in positive thought steering so yes. i will }

                                           half of the 'web' block is finished and it is F.U.N.
                                                 I really want to stay up and
                     do more but not being 20 any more
                                                                       alas i must go to bed.

                                      i'm totally fueled up on these and they are delicious...
                                           ~ off to dream of spiders webs ~
