Two Blankets.. A Blizzard.. and Thrifting

                                                Happy Superbowl Sunday !

I have two new crochet blankets I am working on ..I am using I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby for both.. The first one is a giant granny square ..done in blue/green, peach,pale yellow and white. This one is a gift and the colors are to match their bedding ..

 I have made 3 other giant grannies you can see them here   here and here.. This is super easy to make just make a regular granny square increasing with every round. Also a secret is to turn the blanket every round so it stays in a square shape. Sometimes you see peoples blankets and they aren't square ..its because they don't turn them every round :)

 The second one is a join as you go granny square blanket for my daughter's living room in aqua, red and white.. This is also super easy and pretty fast to make ! Here is a link to the join as you go instructions I use..

 I started this granny square blanket off without the white , and I wasn't loving it ..I took it all apart and added the white and I love it now ..Last year I made this join as you go granny square blanket..

I found this table at the Goodwill before Christmas.. It was $8.50 I haven't decided whether I am going to paint the legs or not ( and leave the top wood) What do you all think ? I also got that amazingly huge soup tureen on the bottom shelf last week for $4.99..Isn't it amazing ??

We here in Illinois are under a blizzard warning today ! 7 inches so far and its not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow..

I finished stitching this Little House Needleworks ornament last night .. Trying to stitch one LHN or CCN ornament a month for the Little House and Country Cottage group on facebook..I just realized I forgot to stitch the reins for the horse :)

I also am stitching this cute chicken design for Prairie Schooler..

Thanks so much for your visit !  I Hope you have a wonderful day !
