Peach Blanket Bingo
May. 22nd, 2010 09:54 amLast weekend, I sold my first crochet project. It was to my mom, true, but I think it was indicative of the really good price someone can get for one of these projects and I can still double what I spent on supplies (hours of working on it was not factored).
She purchased it for the baby shower of one of the next door neighbors I used to babysit. Yeah.
It measures about 30" x 30" and is actually peach in color, though it might look pink in the picture. I'm thinking about pairing this same yarn with a white yarn to give it an orange dreamsicle look.

Summer is a'comin'!
May. 22nd, 2010 04:21 pmI'm so tickled and excited.
Yesterday, I bought Geo a new charcoal grill and cover as a belated Easter gift. (A minor catastrophe transporting it home was one of the reasons I was in a bad mood yesterday evening, which contributed to my ranty post, though I didn't mention it.)
Then today, we stopped by Slindy's, which is this junk store that you can find really good deals on stuff if you look carefully. We got a 4-quart ice cream maker! And its motor works! And we got it for $9.99! So this summer, I think we're going to host a cookout, with burgers on the grill and homemade ice cream. Exciting!
And Geo has mentioned wanting to put in a patio. We've got a perfect spot for it, but right now there is a beautiful antique rose bush there, so we'll have to figure out when and where to transplant that without traumatizing it too much.
And I don't have to work 4th of July weekend this year, which means that Geo and I can go back to Ohio for the BBQ and fireworks!
And in June, we're spending a week on the beach with the entire fam (hopefully my bro and SiL will be able to come).
It's going to be a fun summer, methinks!
