Wassup!!!

Stay tuned cause I'm crocheting up a bunch of washcloths/dishcloths and scrubbies to give away!

So I was almost finished pinning Alye's quilt when I figured out that several of my pins were missing and I didn't have enough to finish. Where were my missing pins? Still in my Mystery Round Robin wall hanging that I hadn't finished quilting. So I had to get to work and I finished it! Well, I finished the quilting. I still have to bind it but it is otherwise done.

I also started on a pet bed for Pepper based on this very cute design from Design Sponge. Mine is bit different in color (I had some blue and white ticking I undoubtedly finally donated somewhere because "I was never going to do anything with it"; argh!) because I'm using some quilting scraps, and some dark taupe duck cloth I picked up at Goodwill a while back. To give it a little cuteness on the dark part I decided to put her name in orange.

I traced from the computer screen and then outlined in Sharpie (you could just print it but currently my laptop  does not recognize my printer and it has way more cute fonts on it then our family computer). Then I poked holes through the  letters at short intervals to give me a basic outline of the letters. I've started it and should hopefully finish it up tomorrow.
We spent some quality time at my parents house for Easter and, though we couldn't always convince the kiddos to leave their technology, hubby and I opted for some outside stuff. My uncle lives right next door and there is a field next to his home. They used to grow peanuts there but the last couple of years it has been...

Yup, cotton. That lovely stuff your quilting fabric is made from. I'm a girl from the south but I know a lot of people don't know what cotton looks like right off the plant. These were a few stragglers that weren't picked at the end of the season. The field currently looks like this.

We also did some kite flying. It was definitely a beautiful day. Hope your Easter was as well.
