Ms. Maggie!

What a cutie!

Another sweetie pie!

This is the first winter/spring since we retired in 2008 that we haven't gone to Ft. Wilderness Campground at Walt Disney World.  

I'm missing Mickey!  

Something terrible!

Hopefully, we will be able to go this fall.  

In the meantime please enjoy my love of all things Mickey!

What Does A Pastel Apron & Ripple Throw Have In Common?

Pretty Pastel Pinks!

Pretty Pastel PINKS!

My pretty pastel apron is my inspiration piece for my next crochet project...a wave chevron ripple throw!

I have yummy Easter yarn colors in pinks, lavender, greens and blues just like my apron.  

This is my first try at doing a ripple throw.  It won't be perfect but I'm sure I will love it anyway. 

First, I looked at Jan Easton's patterns from her book "The Encyclopedia of CROCHET Techniques".  I made a practice piece of her wave chevron pattern and then I made one from our fantastic Lucy's - of Attic24 fame -  Neat Ripple Pattern (find it here) - Lucy says Jan's pattern inspired her pattern.  In the end I decided to go with Lucy's because it was easy to do and it looked slightly nicer I thought.  

Unfortunately my "hills" and "valleys" are not lining up as neatly as Lucy's but that's ok I consider this throw my practice throw.   I'm using my Loops & Threads Silky Soft acrylic yarn with my favorite H hook.  

Doesn't this make you think of SPRING!

   I don't think I will decorate for St. Patrick's Day this year.  I did last year because I hosted our neighborhood BUNCO group for the month of March.  But I am looking forward to decorating for Easter because I love all the lovely Easter colors and, of course, bunnies!

THINK PINK and THINK SPRING!
