Hello Friday! and I’m Looking Forward to this Weekend

First of all I will be having lunch with my best friend Debbie this fine Friday; we have been friends for many years. I think we finally came to the conclusion some time back that we have been friends since we were 10 years old. We grew up together, we got married, we had children together; we have laughed and cried together and we plan to grow old together (I hope I speak for you too, Debbie). I just wish we had more days to sit and crochet more. 🙂 Debbie and I have been getting together at lunch time for our birthdays for many years and March is Debbie’s birthday. We will be dining at Tanya’s Soup Kitchen today and I can’t wait to see her! Hopefully I will get an updated picture of both of us together too.

Lots of fun things are planned for this weekend; KS My Stitch Crochet Guild Officer’s Meeting tomorrow morning where I fix everyone lunch. On the menu for tomorrow will be creamy tomato basil soup with homemade croutons, I’m looking forward to seeing the ladies again and talking over future plans for the guild. Then I will be heading over to Twist to conduct the last session of the March Crochet 101 class. I’m looking forward to seeing the ladies again and to see if they are as excited about crocheting as they were last week. 😉

Then after the class John and I are going to stay at one of the newly remodeled historical Hotels here in Wichita to celebrate our 21^st wedding anniversary. (March 14^th) This is where I want to spend the evening; right there in that hot tub, soaking my sore and tired muscles. 🙂

I bet you thought I forgot about the crochet projects that I have been working on? No such luck. Here’s the baby cocoon sack that Shelly asked me to make for a shop model. I loved working with the bulky weight cotton yarn and I love how the completed project turned out.

Then I finished this cute as a button sailor hat for John’s cousin Irene’s yet to be born grandson. I hope she likes it as much as I liked making it. For those who are wondering if I had a pattern. No I didn’t, but I did write down the amount of stitches and the rows that I did so I could provide a little support if someone wanted to make a little sailor hat too. There are also lots of patterns on-line that you can use.

As I was looking through some of my photos I ran on to this one and I’m not quite for sure where I stuffed these cute little dahlia granny squares and stripey middle part. Now I’m on a mission to find them so that I can finish that blanket I started back in August.

Here’s the project that I’m working on now and I do love how this yarn already has the shiny sequins on it for just the right sparkle! I wished the real yarn color would come through on my camera, because it so much more deeper and richer looking in person. So what do you have going on? Are you planning a fun weekend too? I’ll see all of you on the flip side.
