Pastel Petals. Pinks and purples, various sized squares and rectangles, but believe these pieces parts are closer in size than the previous afghan I made from donated squares. Ta Dah! It's finished and laying here to dry/blocked. I had enough of the light lilac color yarn in my stash that I didn't need to use multiple colors to edge and join, as I did with the previous "Little Boy Blue" afghan.I don't typically do more than a basic straight edge for these afghans assembled from pieces parts, as most are colors that work for either a male or female; but this one is decitely female, and so I made a scalloped edge to finish it off. You can see it in the picture with the whole afghan, but here's a close up.We've had another dinner party, but not as large. 6 instead of 14 at our last one where I served chicken enchildas. Which is not what is pictured here. This is Chicken Marsala that I fixed for just hubby and I a few nights ago.We enjoyed this Spanish wine so much we ended up ordering a few more bottles. If you've not tried it, add it to your list.
We had a gorgeous sunset a few nights ago as I looked out the walk way making my way to take out the trash. Was almos to late to get the picture. Probably 5 minutes earlier was the best time.Another beautiful bunch of flowers. We've kept this, rather, hubby has kept this vase filled for me. We've both enjoyed having flowers daily in the condo. He brought these home to me ono Valentines Day. I much prefer yellow roses over red, in case you're wondering.This is the 3rd book of Louise Fein's I've read/listened to. This is an historical fiction, but inspired by the authors fa,mily history with lots of addtional research done. The book is extremely reviting, hard to put down. There's what she knew as the daughter of a high ranking Nazi official vs what she begins to learn through her Jewish Friend, Walter. Courage, love, danger and picking ones path are choices she makes during this difficult time. I highly recommend this book folks.
