New Project in Process

I found a wonderful afghan idea on the blog "Little Woollie".

I just loved the creative way of putting ANY color and

ANY stitch to each row and really, you can't mess this one up!!

It's an great way to use up scrap yarn and learn

and try new crochet stitches!!

 

I wanted to make my dad an afghan for Christmas.... 

I'm hoping that it will be done by then, but we'll see!!

I'm also working on a couple of simple baby afghans

that need to be finished up first!

 

Now enter the, 'oh man, my fingers are tired and why is

my upper arm muscle aching so much' problems of crochet marathons

and you'll understand why I'm HOPING to have it finished!

Here's where I am so far on the afghan....  
I've kept it pretty simple and haven't gotten
too brave in trying anything new, but I plan to!

I really am enjoying the willy-nilly ways of this
kind of afghan!! I think I have discovered a wonderful, new
way to creatively use up the skeins I have on hand!!
THEN... I'll be able to replenish my stash with new colors!
  

I'll share more pictures as it grows!

A Sample of 2013 Mushroom Collection

 

Here's a typical mushroom picking for us during the

prime time of our first season! The red bowl is a

Tupperware Thatsa Bowl which is a 42 cup capacity! 

And I'm not sure how much the

blue bowl holds, but, it is quite big too!!

 

We've had a great start to our new adventure

in mushroom farming!! We'll be inoculating

more logs this fall and probably next spring as well!

I think we've found our niche!
