A Good Thing

I finished the half and half block yesterday and then it was onto the next block, #10 Openwork Square. Now a block that has a one hook rating is supposed to be easy, but I have a severe learning disability when it comes to interpreting crochet patterns. There's eight sections with three rows in each section and it took me numerous frogging before I got my counting right and finished section 1. The good news is that sections 2 and 3 went a lot easier and I think it will look pretty when it is done--I am using Caron Simply Soft in "embroidery" which is a varigated yarn done in shades of jewel tones.

I also got some felt at Wal-Mart to make this subversive little stuff toy that I saw on a Craftster post. Those who know me, have an idea of what it is--to the rest of ya'll, I'll leave that up to your own little dirty minds.

I loathe my job but I am torn because I just qualified for decent insurance. Grown-up stuff sucks monkeys.

Back to crafty goodness. Martha Stewart's new crafty show "martha" debuted today and the hole in my heart is now filled for now. I have decided that I would like to live in her new studio, in one of the cabinets in the craft room. The whole entire studio is fully-functional right now to the faucets and the greenhouse. She taught Marcia Cross how to make scrambled eggs. Tomorrow is the "coming home" poncho day. Mommy is going to tape it for me because i will be at stupid work.

It's off to the land of crochet where I can turn all my frustration into a pretty little square.
