Admiration

I so admire those bloggers who determine to do something, a challenge if you will, and actually manage to carry it through. I didn't even make it through the first month.

It seems that life just gets in the way of what I want to do. I am working on two baby blankets now. Thankfully one just requires some finishing touches, but the other has barely been started. I'm not sure that I am even going to use the pattern I've picked out, but the colors are definitely in.

I love the blues and greens of a male peacock, so those are the colors I'm using. I've completed one using these colors and love the results. The recipient loves it, too. Actually wants to keep it for herself rather than let the baby use it when he comes. This is the pattern I used, but each color change was green or blue or a multi-hued yarn with those colors in it.

I have been crocheting hearts, though, lots and lots of hearts. Unfortunately my camera is not charged right now (shame on me), but I promise to post some pictures of at least some of the hearts.

And I am dealing with another upper respiratory issue again. I literally had just gotten rid of the cough I've had since pneumonia struck. Thankfully no infections, though, and I'm already starting to feel better.
