Thank Goodness it’s Friday, a Twelve-Step-Program, a Little More Neatness, and My Dahlia Throw

It seems like my week has gone fairly fast and yes, I know that I always say this; but I’m really glad it’s Friday.

Ok, so shoot me; I decided to move away from my Dahlia Throw for just a short vacation and get some instant gratification from crocheting something smaller. Besides that I was afraid that John was going to get tired of seeing the 4 cans that I had saved from making chili last week on the kitchen cabinet and throw them in the recycle bin.

So I decided to make each of my naked cans a cute little crochet jacket. I love the way they all turned out.

I know. I may have gotten a little carried away with the ruffles on this one, but once I added a few rows there was no turning back. 🙂

I thought they were so cute and decided to take them to work and show the people who enjoy seeing what I’ve been creating. (this little number is staying on my desk for pens and such) My co-worker Constance (who I made the Motherhood for) told me that there is a Twelve-Step-Program for my illness. (mentioned with a big smile) Then Rosina told me that once I completed the program that I would probably have to embellish the plaque that I get, with a little crochet. (mentioned with a very big laugh) Hey! At least I’m not making toilet paper roll covers. Ha! Ha!

I have to tell you about my husband the neatnik, not to be confused with a beatnik. 😉 I keep a stack of scarves behind my door so that when I leave my house I can grab whichever scarf that suits my fancy as I’m heading out the door. When I come back into the house I usually throw them back into the stack, not taking the time to fold each one. The other day I went to throw my scarf that I was wearing onto the pile of scarves and noticed that they were all neatly folded and stacked. I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve such a neat husband as I have and I’m not sure why I’m mentioning it now. All I know is that I don’t want to ever forget how good he is to me and to make sure that I mention to him how much I appreciate him more often.  

Oh by the way here’s the progress on my Dahlia Throw. Believe it or not there are 34 centers, 5 squares incomplete and 9 squares completed in this photo. I know it sure doesn’t look like that many and I still have 3 more centers to make before I’ll have 42 in all. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and make sure you tell your husbands or significant others how much you appreciate them. Happy Crocheting!
