Blaithin Blanket is Finished!

 Two skeins of yarn later and my Blaithin Blanket  has a border!   The pattern for this blanket came out in September of 2019.   So what the heck it only took me a little over two years to finish. 

Pay no attention to the quilt on the bed....I had to find someplace to spread it out! 

80 squares all different colors, the pattern was supposed to be a stash buster!   It is a very heavy warm blanket....I was very cozy when I was finishing the border.   

So nice to have something finished!

Focus!

 I had forgotten how long it takes to paint Christmas ornaments...but I am up to 72 ...it was a rainy day anyways.   I must focus on the ornaments!  Oh a Shiny Thing! 

I was discouraged that I have so many unfinished projects...so I  found an afghan I had worked on a long time ago...April 2020...it just needs a border....I ran out of the right color yarn...bought the yarn but stashed the whole project in a drawer upstairs!   So I am going to work on it in the evenings...hope to see a finish for it in the next week or so!   I wrote about it here Projects Galore 

A barn off in the distance the other day.

Today is grocery adventure day.  Fun Fun Fun till Daddy takes the T Bird away:) You are welcome for the ear worm:)

Crochet a long

I might be insane.  I have numerous unfinished projects.  BUT there was a crochet along (CAL) happening that interested me...it sounded like a good way to learn some new to me stitches and a good project to use up some yarn stash ( who is kidding who?)

My good friend Sam wrote about it on her blog.  She is nuts more prolific than I am so she is working on two crochet projects at once.

Every two weeks new designs are revealed.  This time I learned the popcorn stitch.  A gal from Ireland is hosting the project.  It is called Blaithin Blanket Stash Busting CAL

I am feeling better, but not 100 % yet.  I worked on this project in between naps and times I just need to sit down and rest.
