I Got Crafty

I haven't been terribly bloggy lately because I decided to get crafty. This is partly due to the fact that I got stuck on the novel (stupid writer's block) and partly due to the fact that I found the most amazing baby afghan EVER on pinterest.com:



So, I decided to make one for baby #2, should there be one. This is an awesome project for me, because a flower takes me a little less than 20 minutes to crochet, which means I can do as little or as many as I would like at a time. I am doing a five-petal flower instead of a six, and I think I may add some leaves here and there, but this is the general idea. I am super excited about it.

I love the I Love This Yarn yarn from Hobby Lobby, but we don't have a Hobby Lobby here in the Northworst. It's super soft and has some really pretty colors... And it's super affordable. I made E a blanket and a sweater using their yarn, and I love the way they turned out.  I have some left over from some of my past projects/impulse buys in this color:

So, I am starting with that until I can get some more, either when I go back to visit in GA or by ordering it online. I am thinking of using these colors:
