A distraction........Bavarian Crochet

I feel a lot like the dog off of the Disney movie UP. I get working on a project and someone yells "squirrel" (or in my case craft) and I totally lose track of what I was working on.  I started working on my Watermelon Pineapple Afghan and it was driving me crazy.  I don't know if it was doing the pattern for the third time or just my lack of interest.  Instead,  I have not one but two afghans, a infinity scarf, and a quilt lying in various stages of being finished.  Which, all have to be completed by the 25th.  I might be dreaming on getting them all complete.  Well, for my lasting disgust for the pineapples (which I usually love)  I picked up this book........

Pillow Case Wrapping Paper and Pineapples

This year, I opted to make all of my Christmas presents.  Which is turning into a huge undertaking, but I am determined that I will get them all finished.   I figured since I was making gifts, why not make the wrapping paper too.

Pumpkins and a Turkey

 I thought I would share a few free patterns that I have came across the last few weeks.  Like I have wrote before, I totally love the variety of free patterns from Lily Sugar n' Cream.  Plus, if you sign up for their newsletter, you receive updates on the new pattern on their site.
