Projects Be Done! (Patagonia, AZ)

 I am crocheting the edging now!  Two more sides and this blanket will be done.  Of course, there are six more skeins waiting in the closet to be made into a second blanket...sigh, maybe I will learn someday...
#9 on my 2012 Project list I have Valentine Angel.  It is a mug rug for - well, you guessed it for Valentine's Day.  I have a feeling this one is going to be late.  I just picked out some fabric and got most of the pieces ironed on.  As soon as I finish the blanket I plan to spend most of my time working on the mug rug.

Featured Treasury!

Rose Ann from NutmegCottage featured my Star Baby quilt in her "Cozy Warm on a Cold Winter Day" Treasury.  Thank you Rose Ann for adding my quilt to your beautiful collection!

12 Projects of 2012 (Patagonia, AZ)

A Facebook group called Crafty Mavens invited me to join their 12 Projects for 2012.  Each person makes out a list of projects to finish.

Here's my PhD (Projects half Done) list:
  1. Small Stockings
  2. Mug Rugs – Seasonal
  3. Crochet Blanket
  4. Teddy Bear Quilt
  5. Dresden Quilt
  6.  Traveler Mug Rug
  7. Frog – Witches Brew
  8. Cat Quilt
  9. Valentine Angel
  10. Cake Mix Quilt
  11. X-stitch Cat Sign
  12. Granddaughter’s quilt
I'm looking at this list and thinking it doesn't look all that bad, does it?  I could finish a few of these in one month, right?  This list is a Breeze!  Yep, famous last words...

Since I'm more visual, I decided to add photos from the list.
1. Stockings
2. Mug Rugs
3. Crochet blanket

12. Garden Quilt
Then I piled them all together.  Oh yea, the list feels a lot bigger now....



My order of yarn finally showed up.  It only took two weeks to get here.  I think it took the scenic route.  :0)

I will leave you with a couple of photos of birds.  Both of these birds are hard to photograph.  They like hiding in thickets and bushes.  The Albert's Towhee was playing peek-a-boo with me.  I finally got one good photo when he ducked down to see if I was still there.  Gotcha!

Well, I better get back to my projects, because I've already got another list going of new projects that are floating around in my head.
