Finished Checked Baby Blanket

Good Morning!

YAY! for long weekends!!!!

Just wanted to pop in and show off my finished blankie. 

Pretty basic stuff, but I like it.

Instead of doing a regular round scallop, I opted to do a

pointy edge. 

I thought it might look a little more masculine.

For some reason it reminds me of a dinosaur back. :)

The rest of the border is just double crochet into the back of the loop.

That creates the ridges that you see.

 I'm off to have lunch with some blogging friends. Always FUN! 

Then its a crafting afternoon with daughter. We have wedding stuff to 

work on. 

I hope you have a grand weekend planned!

Spode Blue Italian Bread Bin

One night last week, I was working on one of my craft projects. The door bell rang and I heard the drop and dash of our UPS man. I didn't think to much about it as my dear, sweet, wonderful, husband orders a lot of things from the internet.

When he came in from the back yard I told him that I thought that something had come for him and that he might want to check the front door. Now honestly! I am telling you the truth. What happened next I can't even explain. But when he brought in the box, I asked "Hey that's not my bread bin ... IS IT?"
Well, he just looked at me with the most pathetic look on his handsome face and said "Do you want to open it now or later?"

I guess you can guess what I chose?
I LOVE IT! Thank you Dear, Sweet, Handsome Husband and
Beautiful Daughter!
Yes, I know I'm a little spoiled!
