back to red film pics

* Those are my sunglasses in the top part of the pic.  I intended to try and shoot through them but I like this effect.
* Project updates are as follows
      ~ Afghan: block numbers 5 and 6 are finished just need borders then I’ll take an update photo
      ~ Knitting: in the spring I started a block about 12 inches square.  I made a stripe effect with knits and purls and I love the way it feels.  I finally googled how to cast off and finished the block.  Last night I casted on with larger needles and a bright turquoise blue yarn to do the same stripe pattern.  It feels good to touch so we’ll see what comes out of it.
      ~ Quilting: I made another block for Mom and I’s collaboration.  It’s a Greek Cross.  I did math to figure out what sizes to cut and followed a the pattern.  This is big for me!
                  Don’t think I’d mentioned it on here before but while at the quilt store a few weeks back buying fabric for the collaboration quilt, I fell in love with some more batiks.  That section is really trouble for me.  Especially when they put bundles together of colors that compliment each other.  Then it’s not just one fabric I fall in love with it’s the whole package and it’s enough to make a blanket from.  So I come home with more projects.  Here’s a pic of what I have accomplished with it.  I actually snapped this a week ago, so I have about double the amount done now.  All hand sewn and starting to feel good about my triangle work.  It’s going to be a blanket.  At first I was thinking a baby blanket, now I’m not sure who it’ll go to.  But I do want to personalize it with wording.  If I end up keeping it, I may end up quilting “knucklehead” on it.  But we’ll wait and see how it goes.

* I’ve been cooking over the last few weeks.  Made some corn and zucchini salsa, zucchini bread, sun dried tomato and goat cheese pasta, jambalaya, and peach cake.
* Still not much happening for new photos.  I think its going to take me loading up a camera and forcing myself out there to shoot some pics.
