What I am creating at the moment::::

The 6" block for the Ravelry 2017 BAMCAL is the Efflorescent Window.
 

It was a fun little square to make even though the pattern was a bit hard to follow.

I even learned a new stitch:  the quadruple front post crochet!

 
 
 
I also started a Cosy Stripe Afghan by Attic24 in Moorland inspired colors.  More on that at a later date :)

From the Camera:::
 


 
Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::

"So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

  5. Looks like a lot of us are menu planning this week :) Love your crochet block, I have never done a quadruple front post crochet stitch, I've done a treble but never the quadruple, that sounds like fun to try.

    Have a fantastic week :)

  10. Is that the new Magnificent Seven? We went to see it at the movies - it was pretty good. I've heard of Joanne Fluke but not read any of her books; I'll have to check them out.

    Have a great week!

  11. Oh I've been seriously tempted by the Moorland blanket - it's so pretty! But then I remind myself that my cottage ripple isn't finished either so we have to have a few priorities!!
