Why weather? WHY?
Sunday, April 19th, 2009 07:58 amOkay we had two days of nice sunny weather in the 70's and now we're back in the 50's and going to hit the 40 for a high on Tuesday. WTF? It's April. WHERE IS MY SPRING?!?!
Next weekend I will be in Atlanta and at the mercy of my family for my birthday. My mom is going to take me shopping. I would say something about black skirts, except I actually need to buy a black skirt since I got rid of the last two that sat on hangers and were never worn because they no longer fit. My sister called me yesterday and wants to know what kind cake I wanted. I love my family, when I don't want to strangle them.
I have started a new crochet project, this one in filet crochet. Filet crochet should be easy to do. It is in some respects because you only need to know how to chain and how to do double crochet. The thing that trips me up is that you are making a grid with hole filled in to make the pattern and you make both the grid and the pattern at the same time. For some reason this breaks my brain. But after my successful bunny square (which I took pictures of and need to find the cable for my camera), I decided to do a centerpiece for when we get a table. We don't have one now (we eat at the counter), but I get the feeling we'll need one after we move. I like this centerpiece because once you get down with the filet crochet, you have four open space you can fill with embroidery or cloth in different colors. It's a large piece (thank goodness I used the smaller thread or I'd have a bedspread instead of a centerpiece!), but it looks like it will be gorgeous when I'm done.
Other than crochet, I've spent the weekend watching![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
