And I'm crocheting. hmm. I found this awesome block pattern via crochet pattern central, which took me to this site. In order to get the pattern, you have to commit to sending her at least one block you have crocheted so she can put them together to make charity afghans. How cool is that? I picked up nine different colors of this bamboo yarn (thanks to a friend for tipping me off that they were on sale!) at Hobby Lobby, and plan to make 9 squares for a baby afghan. I love the way it's turning out! The next block is a combo of pink, green and white.
So I'm thinking that for the time being, I'm going to start posting just once a week on my blog. I've found it harder and harder recently to make myself get on the computer but I still want to stay connected. It's so hard to divide up my time with all the things I want to do. What's that you say? You've never had a problem like that? :)
See you next week!
Hi Penny! I just had to laugh when I saw your post. I have had the same problem.. I can't seem to get on board with posting. I seem to be on an extended break.... maybe its the time of year, or just the ebb and flow of the whole blog thing..
Lovely block btw, that will make a fantastic baby afgahan!! Take care!

OMG Penny, that square is awesome. I have to go get the pattern now. I'm with you on posting less frequently. I'm trying to do once a week and that is hard too! It seems like all I was getting done is playing on the computer. As you know I quit posting for awhile and I seriously thought about quiting all together but missed it at times. I'm not visiting as much either. I actually go days without turning on the computer. I don't know how some people do it all.

I tried that, but found the pattern so difficult, but that was about a year ago, so maybe I'll try it again. Yours is beautiful!!

I think it's Spring Fever in blogland. I'm having the same problem too -- what a good solution you've found. That daisy is ADORABLE!

Those are really cute! and I want a Hobby Lobby! I keep hearing about and seeing great things from there!
I hear you on the posting. I had to cut back there for a while too. It's hard to balance everything.

Good idea Penny...I love those type of afghans, they remind me of my grandmother...good memories. Can't wait to see yours, by the looks of that square it will be amazing.

Gorgeous yarn Penny! It almost looks as though its been felted! I haven't been a blogger in the spring/summer until now and I certainly can see why you want to go down to one post a week! There is so much more to do this time of year! Looking forward to next week!
Cheers!

Oh that's the boat so many of us are in at this time. Too many things to do, and too little time to do it in. I just did a post about it last week as I also have been spending a lot less time on the computer. Family comes before the old 'puter!
By the way, I just love what you're making. There's no Hobby Lobby around here but I've heard great things about that place. Looking forward to visiting you again next week. :)

Hi, Penny! The square is beautiful, as is all that you do! I've been off of the computer for a while, too, so it was fun to get caught up with your blog.
I love your Chacos, by the way!
