Blankets

Ok these are pics of blankets I have been making that are still in the works. The first one is the pic of all three of my boy's blankets in the making because I had run out of yarn at that point lol. The second pic is a pic of the Gay/Bi pride blanket.

Let's see...

Well I have started my first giveaway on Cville and so far the turnout is fairly good. I have until the end of this month though to see who else enters so I'm expecting it to get even bigger. I just hope that whoever gets it really likes it because it is my first giveaway and it's from a pattern I made up myself :( I'm a little worried about that. On another note my dad is coming to visit this weekend. I'm excited and bummed at the same time. Excited because whenever my dad comes to visit I have a good time. Bummed because every time he comes to visit he criticizes me about all kinds of stuff I do *sigh*. On an even better note I still have not had a cigarette in the entire time I have been trying to quit so I am very proud of myself ^_^! I just hope I can keep this up forever this time unlike my other failed attempts.

Gay/Bi pride blanket

I am working on it again now because I think I found all the missing squares I'm joining the rows I have done atm and then after the joining I will do one row at a time of squares and join as I go. I think it might make it easier that way. I'm very excited for it to be done so I can give it to my friends I am making it for. I will post pics as I go along. For now though since I haven't joined much I will just have this post. I'm hoping to have it going fast and done soon.

A change

I decided about 5 days ago that I was going to quit smoking. I won't lie it's been rough but so far I have not had 1 smoke. It's not a long time I know but I am proud of myself for going as long as I have so far. I'm just thinking how much money we will save and thinking how much more stuff I will be able to do without losing my breath all the time. Plus it's better for my kids because now they won't see mommy smoking and try it themselves. I hope it sticks this time though because previous attempts didn't last. Aside from that I have been crocheting like mad and I think alot of that is due to not smoking anymore (I'm trying to find things to do to occupy my time). I still haven't done much more on my son's blankets but I'm thinking tonight I might try and do that again at least until I run out of yarn hehe. Well that's all the updating I have atm (not much I know) but I need to get my kids to bed.

Making blankets

I made a new square pattern that I looove and I am making all of my boys (3) blankets strictly from that pattern. The pattern will not be free or for sale because I have decided to make it an heirloom pattern that I will only pass along to family members. I am so excited about it though and I can't wait to get those three blankets together for them :). My oldest son is always stealing blankets from closets our room or anywhere he can grab one lol. So I figured he'd like one all his own. I will post pics as I go along right now I have 3/16 red ones 2/16 gold ones and 2/16 green ones. A very wonderful lady from crochetville sent me those colors in the mail because I was short on funds for doing anything really so I decided to make three beautiful blankets out of the colors she sent me:). I just need 4 more skeins of each color I am doing. Well I will post pics later.

look what was in my mail today!!!

I found this little piggy today in my mailbox. It was from a great lady from crochetville. I am so excited and honored to have gotten such a cute little piggy to cuddle.
