Red

 I made the 50 rows on my Hush Mosaic Project in a week..the rows are 160 stitches long.  That is many stitches in a week.  I put the stitch marker in place again. I have five new rows. 


I am not sure if it needs 50 more rows this week...I keep holding it up..it still needs more. I will see how the week goes.  Then I need at least a week to do the envelope border to enclose all those ends.  Progress is slow but sure.  I am using a size 4 mm crochet hook and Stylecraft Special DK. 

We had  vibrant visitor.





My best photo through the window...a male Scarlet Tanager. 

Yesterday I mowed the front yard, cleaned one bathroom, scrubbed some floors and did some laundry. 

Supper was pulled pork, jambalya, green beans and a biscuit. 

Minnesota Weather: The wind was cold. ( I should have dressed warmer when I mowed and wore gloves.) The high was 50 F or 10 C and the low was 36 F or 3 C. 

Highlight of the day: The mailman brought a couple of deliveries...new projects,  a morning nap and our June great grand baby just may be a May great grand baby.  Prayers for Maddie and baby.

  1. Love the stitching on that blanket. Looks very nice. Neat bird too. We have seen Boston orioles here lately, which is a rare sight in our area.
