blankets, yet again...

I found two nice, thick fleece throws at the Christmas Tree Shop (a place I don't usually like to frequent) for $3 each. I made sure they were nice and thick and thought I'd have something cozy to curl up in this winter. But...I realized that since I sold one of the blankets I intended for the Peabody House, I was short by two. Aack! So, I trimmed one and think that might work for a substitute. I hope they won't mind that these two are not full yarn/crocheted. I really try to make it so they are all from scratch for these lovely souls who need them. Here's a pic of the one I finished. I have a tan one that I think I'll edge with a cream color...still not sure about that, though.

ugh

I'm SO frustrated with AC Moore! They send out these fliers for sales and give you 2-3 different dates and you're always hit or miss. I went today because the flyer's front page had today's date -- all the while meaning that you had to wait until tomorrow, which is noted at the very bottom of the BACK page! AARGH! I just walked out. I haven't done that in a long time. I don't even know why I was upset...maybe because it happens to me often! Now, I have to wait for ANOTHER sale week before I can get started on a blanket that someone has commissioned me to make. I just didn't want to feel rushed throughout the project...SIGH...

Does this happen to anyone else?

yipee!

I sold a blanket! Well, actually, my sister sold it for me. She had a coworker ask about buying one after she saw the one I did for my sister. Even better is; she wants another one but bigger!! I'm really excited and glad. Don't get me wrong, I love making them for gifts (knowing they are appreciated) and donating them to charity but, it's nice to know that someone would want to buy one...does that make sense?

Anyway -- so, I've gotta get off my anty and get crackin'! Oh BOY! When I think of all I have to get done by December....shudder....

oh yeah -- this is the one I sold.
