I made 7 or 8 Valentine's Day cards in total. I gave DH his card today.
Now I get to browse through old Paper Crafts Magazines, to get ideas for a BFF who turns 62 in May.
I want a dozen cards done for her, including the envelopes, and perhaps crochet her a hanging shell-stitch dishtowel, which has no button. The tab goes through a hole, where a button would be usually going, it stays in place, I believe, because of friction and the design.
I'm "itching" at finishing my "Olympics" hat, but got sidetracked feeling ill and working on a short story.
I crocheted a 2" x 3" swatch in SC from red, white, blue patriotic Peaches 'n' Creme colors in variegated for another BFF. She lives in Virginia, near Washington D. C., so I assumed because red, white, and blue are her condo colors, how very patriotic this yarn would be for her kitchen.
However, I was uncertain of a proper "match" and didn't want the red or blue or white to clash with her kitchen colors. Also, I felt how her location's in a patriotic place, near our Nation's Capital, so figured it was a perfect idea. I'm so happy the swatch matched. Now I need to decide what patterns to use. I may make her the same shell-stitch hanging button-less dishtowel with dishcloths in a shell stitch or various stitches. If my white matches the white in the P 'n' C 1-Lb. cone, it'll be GR8!
Also, I have a cone of red P 'n' C yarn, too. This will add to styles and variations, to brighten up her kitchen. She doesn't crochet or knit, so she's extremely in awe of handmade items, which makes me feel so appreciated and happy to pamper her, and bless her, too.
She's also my "Diet Buddy".
