Here we are on our last day. I think everyone is ready to get home. It has been fun, but it is just time to be on our way.

Sad sad day...
Well, the good news is that it's not broken. But all my ligaments are torn across/around my foot.

We survived!
It has been a couple of days, but just wanted everyone to know we were all doing okay!
The ride went smooth & pretty quick considering we stopped a few times.
It is hot here, just like at home...with no rain.
I have been crocheting a little less than usual, but I still have managed to work up a few things.

Hmmmmm...?
I am still fiddling around with new patterns & colors! I just can't decide. If I put all the odd ones together I suppose that would make for an interesting piece. Anyhow, I really need to get busy packing & preparing for our trip!

No Granny today
I did not get around to the next Granny Square in the book today, sorry. I did however fiddle around with a few different squares & some color combinations. I just can't decide if I should go bright colors or if I should do a toned down project this time. I need a "square" project, because I think they are easier to travel with, and I will be MIA from the blogger world for a week. Anyhow, if anyone drops in & has a suggestion, just let me know...which square or what colors??? Or both :)

Granny Square of the day # 20
Day # 20 brings us the Dania Square! I enjoyed the bright colors I chose...I think it would make a lovely blanket or pillow cover.

My new crochet love...
I really, really loved crocheting this cushion! I could have gone on & on with it, but decided not to.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Lucy at Attic24! What a wonderful pattern & awesome tutorial!

My deepest apologies ;)
I was so politely informed by my mother that I was not living up to the title of my blog. I have fallen addicted to crochet & that is all I have posted recently. She loyally checks everyday & I know she is looking for pictures of her grandkids. Sorry, mom...here are some new ones to chew on for awhile :)

| Blooming Flower Cushion by Lucy @ Attic24 xoxo |
The African flowers are being hooked in the Tahki Cotton Classic yarn with a 3.50mm US E/4 hook.
And the Blooming Flower I am using a cotton/nylon blend I purchased recently online. They compared it to Borraco Weekender. I really really like it. It does split a little easy so you have to watch your hook, but the stitch definition & the feel of it is sublime!
Oh yeah, I am using a 4.00mm US G/6 hook for this one.
Granny Square of the day # 13
Day # 13 brings the Cluster Cross Square!
I thought I might mention this, now that I have been posting one of these things a day for almost two weeks...I am using Tahki Cotton Classic yarn & a US G6 crochet hook (4.00mm).
