Wow...If I only had freetime...I too could...
Nope. Don't think I would.
*this is not my work. I just thought it was worth the mention.

Potholders!
(NOT MY WORK)
I totally want to just stay home and crochet for a living...
"if Only!".
"if Only!".
I love her blog and she is inspiring.
I love cotton and I like making potholders. Not the ones you use, the ones you "Display".
Her site gives me ideas!
Christmas is coming up...

Chillin' Like a Villin'
It was 90 degrees at 8:30 this morning on my way into work. The heat index, whatever that is, is going to be 115-120 degrees today. This is the time of the year I hate. I melt in the car, my yard dies from the heat and sun, and it is miserable to be outside. My dogs look at me like it is my fault, I truly think they believe that I control the temps outside like I do inside...lol.
I can picture myself sitting in this chair, barefoot, listening to Stevie Nicks with a glass of Zin crocheting Christmas gifts. But only if it is above 85 degrees! If it is cooler...
I am totally outside, in the sun, listening to the wind and birds, crocheting!
Happy Hooking!
P.s. My chair would be rainbow colors with black trim!
(this is not my chair...I found this pic on someones blog. She writes in Spanish, so I am not sure where she got this pic.)

I LOVE THIS YARN!
My head is full of projects and ideas...there is just not enough time to do them in.
To do? or Not to do? That is the question!
I have a Fall inspired baby blanket to finish that is the corner start diagonal. I am on the decreasing side of the blanket, which goes much faster. I am working it in I LOVE THIS YARN. And I do, I truely love this yarn. I would trade my Red Heart in a Heart Beat for I LOVE THIS YARN.
I do have to admit that I crossed the line and stepped back into xxxx how dare I say it xxxx "Red Heart" last weekend. I was shopping at my local Wally World (Wal-Mart for those who have not heard of it before) and just Happened UPON the Yarn section. WOOPS!
It has been reworked in my town for the new lines of yarns. Red Heart has a self-striping yarn out. It was teal, orange, hot pink, brown and white...lime greens too. But anyway, was pretty exciting and eyecatching. I grabbed a skein, which is always in budget regardless to the quantity at home and the dollar amount in the checkbook.
Once home, I made up a set of hand warmers while watching the movie SIGNS for the millionth time. Yep, I can crochet and watch tv. "Nerd"? Yes. I pushed the envelope and added decor. Pretty much impressed myself with the extras. So with that, they have been in my project bag waiting to meet the next set. I have a list of people in my head that "NEED" a set to warm them for Christmas...that upcoming, holiday that is pressing on my brain!
Projects rolling around in my head. Hats, Scarves, Dish cloths, Baby bags (sleep sacks, if you will)... My Wine Inspired blanket for UFO nights.
And this Lime Green I LOVE THIS YARN now becons me. Thanks Linda, who shipped me a Birthday Exchange box with two skeins of it, a great bag pattern, apron for gardening, a lovely wood fan, and a handtowel with a humming bird on it. The green is meant for the bag pattern, but I just want to pair it with my softer lime green I LOVE THIS YARN for a Ripple!!! Now that I can make the RIPPLE... I Must MAKE the RIPPLE!
But, first, I must make up her belated birthday box and ship it to her!
