What have I been up to?

Recently finished: 2nd test loom of block #3 for the Project Afghan on the Kiss Loom, Denise's Pinwheel Blanket, and 4 preemie hats (crocheted).

WIPS: Felted Baguette on Sg WonderLoom, preemie booties (crocheted).

Future plans: Graciela's Sweater class on Kiss Loom Group and Pam's baby bonnet class on the Loom Class group.

I have been taking on too much stuff lately. I don't even have time to design blocks for the afghan class, let alone design the ideas for other patterns that are floating around in my head. So I have decided that I need to stop doing LALs. Now, I know that is gonna be way too hard to make myself do b/c everything seems way too cool and I really want to do them. But, it is interfering with my own personal creativity that isn't getting out. This is some heartbreaking stuff here, ya'll! REALLY HEARTBREAKING!!!!

I have also been taking more pictures of nature, now that Spring has decided it will be sprung. (Takin' its precious time this year, huh?) Here are some pics that I have accumulated over the past couple of weeks.

A cool little break in those really bad storms from a week and a half ago.

The moon shining one night.

This rainbow was taken on Thursday evening. I saw the sun peaking out from the west but it was still raining so I snatched my camera and literally ran outside to find the rainbow. It was really the most gorgeous rainbow I had ever seen.

Sun shining through the trees with their new leaves. :D

And this pic is of Lady Tru lovin' on her pinwheel blankie. :D

The Project Afghan class has settled down considerably from the first week. :D I am assuming that it isn't b/c the patterns are getting easier, but b/c everyone got the hard questions out of the way the first time around? At least, that is what I hope. Everyone appears to be really enjoying themselves and that is an amazing feeling. Well, I am gonna run, gotta make 4 pairs of preemie booties today...and keep my eye on the class. Thanks for stoppin' by for a while. :)

Glad to hear you are slowing down a little bit with the LALs, hope the teeth grinding comes to a halt. I too put way too much on my plate. I've had to pick and choose carefully lately. I will do my LALs, just not at the same time as everyone else. The projects aren't going anywhere. They can wait. Love the pictures!

Robin, your little sweetie looks so happy to be cuddling under a blanket her own mommy made. :) I can second that on the LAL's, lol! We loomers know how to make life a little crazy sometimes! :P I really can't wait to see what magic comes bubbling out that creative head of yours...and less time on other projects will allow that to happen.
