Quite some time ago I designed this afghan along with many others. People used to send me pieces parts and I would design and join the pieces parts to make warm afghans. I always named them, and called this one Wee Bit Irish. As you can see the pieces parts vary is style and size, and color. Most are crocheted, but a few are knitted. I've made over 70 of these throughout the last 14 ish years. Once I need new projects to work on, I get the bagged designs out and find appropriate color yarn to edge and join them. Founds some light green/mintish in my stash. Though in this picture (apparently a brighter day) the pieces parts look less green. I bagged it up to take on the road as one of my winter away projects.Step 3, I've begun edging the pieces/squares. I begin with the largest squares and edge, then know the other squares have to become the same size. Thus far, I've edged about 9-10 of the 25 pieces. I think it's looking less Irish and more minty...how about you? Think I'm going to change the name to Minty Irish. Any thoughts? Once these afghans are completed I donate them to a local homeless shelter.This knitted teal and gray scarf was a car project. I started it in the car when hubby and I were going to Williamsburg this past summer and finished it in the car on our way to our winter quarters. It might get donated also, as I don't think I'm in need of another scarf.A fun, but perhaps a bit bizarre book about coming of age, dealing with grief, learning about responsibilities and what is real love? I say a bit bizarre because a daughter on a summer vacation seems to meet her mother....time travel. I don't know. Not really a believable book, and not my normal type of reading; but I did truly enjoy the book, gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. I also enjoyed it because I've traveled to Italy and would like to go back.A weird/sad version of Ground HOg Day. I can't say I enjoyed the book, only gave it one star; but I also couldn't stop reading it...as I kept thinking things would be made right and I wanted things to be resolved. It got much higher marks on Goodreads from others, so you might enjoy it? If you read it, let me know what you think....I'm curious.More my normal type of book. Takes place during World War II in London in 1938. The coming together of people taking care of each other, learning to love and trust during difficult times.....even for a German refugee. Highly recommend this one.More of a fluff book than I often read/listen to; but I LOVED it. A fire, a chambermaid, love lost, mystery, a ghost, money, love, lust, and......well, a bit of everything. Put it on your list and have fun!A bathroom project. We have a small bathroom, very much in need of being redone. Removing the old heavy tub and putting in a shower is only part of the work that needs doing. The tiles you see here are from the front of the picture back the flooring, the tile in the shower, and the small design for accent. It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but the tiles are mostly white with a bit of gray. The walls will be gray, the new vanity and commode etc will be white. A long awaited project. It's hard to remodel your bathroom when you only have ONE!
