I'm Lovin' Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters and my Shadow!

Yep...I'm lovin' my Muddy Waters Ripple throw!

I finished the simple border this week.   

And finally the sun is shining to get some good photos.  

See my shadow!  

The border is just three rows of double crochet (US).  

Nice and easy and it simply enhances the ripple pattern.

Flowing down the Stairs...

I had fun outside with my ripple throw staging it for my photos.  

Running water....

It "sort of" looks like a "waterfall" doesn't it?

It's like a brook edged with green grass....

Muddy Waters and the cool, green grass of summer...

As I mentioned before this throw is going into our new travel van (previously blogged about here and here).  

It's a good size too....about 43 inches by 59 inches.  It covers my body very comfortable.  

Oh, boy, now I have to decide what will be my next crochet project.   

What will it be?

I've been printing some cute free crochet patterns off of Ravelry.  Maybe I will pick one of those.

So glad you stopped by to visit me!  

I hope you have a lovely day.


Oh, I forgot to mention...today is Flag Day here in the USA.  Mine is flying proudly.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."  

I Dream of Pink Kitchens

pink 56

I love this kitchen...the lovely white bead board background sets off the pink appliances and look at the cute pink mixer!

Pink vintage Pyrex collection

Stunning pink and white pyrex collection....and beautifully displayed by this collector.

Shelves that over my counter

Aqua and pink dishes...what a lovely collection this lady has.

Vintage Aprons

I just love vintage aprons like these.  I have a nice collection from my Mom and my MIL.

vintage kitchen- almost done

My Mom had a stove like this in the 1960s - 1970s!  It was neat...the stove top slides out when in use so it doesn't take up as much room in your kitchen when you are not cooking.  And remember kitchens were smaller back then so saving space was necessary.

Reflections Exhibition, Missouri History Museum--Pink kitchen

This museum would be fun to visit!   

Kitchen march 2010.

I wish I could see more of this kitchen...it's so much fun with the colorful crocheted potholders hanging on the wall and the striking blue valance over the window!  

And my eye is drawn to the cute white swan wallpaper around the door frame.

Many thanks to the generous folks who posted these PINK kitchens for us to admire.

The Colors

I love the colors in my current "work in progress" crocheted ripple throw...

Muddy Waters!  

Shades of brown and aqua mist!

It's Lucy at Attic24's ripple pattern (pattern here) and first blogged about (here).

The ripple pattern

I alternated the two bands of browns throughout the throw.

Muddy Waters a Work In Progress

We've been busy with some personal stuff so I haven't been able to crochet much lately.  Since taking this photo I have sewn all the ends in and I'm working on the border.  So far I have decided to leave the ripple ends as is with the variegated yarn and for the straight sides I'm adding three rows of double crochet in the variegated yarn.

This is a longer throw...it will cover my body...and it isn't too heavy either.  

I'm thinking of putting it in our new travel van. 

It's currently a red hot 93 degrees F. here.  

I think it's suppose to get up to 98 degrees F. today. 

That's too darn hot.

I hope it's cooler where you are.
