It Has Been So Long~Ripply Ta-Dah!!!

It has been so long since I have posted and so long since I have visited you all. The girls are keeping me busy. I am still searching for a job, but I am still on the fence about that. I would love to stay home for a while longer. I used to work in child care and I hesitate to put them in the care of others. Don't get me wrong, some child cares are great, but I have heard some horror stories. Well, I have finish to show you. Of the crochet kind, not the stitchy kind. I haven't put needle to thread yet this year. Soon, soon.....
Here is my ripply Tah-Da!!! I am so pleased with this blanket. It is done with Vanna's Choice Acrylic yarn which for acrylic, is so soft. I have to tell you that I got this yarn at the discount store for half off. $2.50 per 340 yard skein. I really should have bought them out for that price. I have also been at my whits end trying to keep the dog off it!!!! But, we have been snuggling up in it every night. I have also started something else, perhaps another afghan.


On to the Happy Dance!!!

Such wonderful, colorful fun. The blanket measures, 45 inches by 65 inches. Plenty big enough for the couch. My original plan was to keep going and to make it fit a twin sized bed, but that bed is a couple of years off, so I'll have to plan another one.



And for a nice warm nap......

It doesn't get much better than this.

Hope everyone is doing well out there in blogland. I'll be visiting soon. I have more pics to show.

Thanks for stopping by,

Playing Catch Up

My view this morning as I sit in front of the computer perusing blogs that I love, and stitching a bit on my ripple blanket. I do love how this blanket is coming along. I think I might be about a fourth of the way done. I am using Vann's Choice yarn, which is 100% Acrylic, but it is the softest acrylic I have ever used. It is just so squishy. I just love having it on my lap.

On to the 21 day Organizing Challenge!!!
I am a bit behind, and I am not going to show you any before pics, just the afters.
Here are two challenges, Under the Bathroom Sink, and Medicine Cabinet/Medicines and First Aid...

This is exactly how my bathroom sink looked anyway. I guess I've always kept that pretty neat. I just took everything out and wiped it down.




I organized this section of my bathroom when it was Linen Closet day. It is where I keep my medicines, first aid, vitamins, make up bags, and other odds and ends. This is a deep cupboard in the bathroom that could probably house a few more things. But at least it is neat.
