New (Christmas!) Crochet Project

My grandson isn't the only one thinking about Christmas!

I recently downloaded this pattern for six Christmas-themed "mug rugs" done in Mosaic Crochet. I've admired them for a while - and suddenly, there they were, briefly being offered, as a free download.

They were created by one of my favorite pattern makers - "BebaBlanket' (www.bebablanket.com).

I've purchased several of her afghan patterns online in the past. Now I'm looking forward to starting this smaller project.

More Elf Adventures?!

Just when I thought that our grandson's elf might be wrapped up and put away till next Christmas, Jericho had a new idea: MAKE ME ANOTHER ELF!

I must confess that the first crocheted one does look a little tattered!

When I explained that I was running low on red yarn, he replied: ELVES DON'T HAVE TO BE RED!

This is how a new elf named "Orange" joined the family! In the picture above both elves have just "flown" down the stairs.

Is it really April?!

Hard for me to believe that it's finally April! 

March was a sunny month - as my pictorial "calendar" can testify.

But it did snow several times - including this past weekend!

Now the weather is warming up. 

Most of our accumulated winter snow has melted... except for snow "mountains" like this one near parking lots - made of snow removed when the lots were cleared. I wonder how long this one will be here ...

Hopefully it will be clear sailing in April - with no major snowfalls! I really NEED the warmth and JOY of spring!
