Rippling Away

I've been crocheting along on the blanket I'm making in Lucy at Attic24 blog's CAL (crochet along).  I really love this pattern, it's not boring at all but is easily memorized.  It's curvy and lacy and quite beautiful.  

Lucy's blog was the first I'd ever seen, I didn't even know what they were.  My younger sister Denise had found it and suggested I might enjoy it.  Not only did I instantly fall in love with Lucy and her positive personality but she inspired me to take up my crochet hook and start to use brightly colored yarn instead of the beiges and browns that my hippie, earth mother self had been using.  :-)  I owe Lucy so much, the inspiration to crochet again, to stretch my mind and bring bright colors into my life.  I now have to decide to do the "color story" of Lucy's design or the "random colors" one.  I'm tempted to do the random colors one as the color story one has all the blue at the top to be the sky.. hmm.. which would you do?

I snapped a photo of my sister Roberta giving the program at our Daughters of the American Revolution meeting on Monday - it was about the flags of the states of our members.  It was very interesting.  And just looks at woodwork of the furniture behind her.  We had the meeting at the Old Spaghetti Factory and it's full of old antique furniture and stained glass windows.  I enjoy that.

There were two of these fabulous windows in the meeting room.

I made my lunch yesterday of chicken tenderloins, cubed and sauteed in butter, garlic powder, pepper and NuNus cajun seasoning and an avocado with dill dressing.  And I'm down past a number on the scale that I was anxious to get past.  :-)

Well.. time to make lunch, pack my swim bag and head to the pool.  Then home to crochet more and listen to Caleb's 2nd piano lesson.  I am looking forward to when he is playing songs and leaning new ones all the time.  

What are you up to today?  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
