What I am creating at the moment::::

I decided to join in the Ravelry group BAMCAL 2018 to use up some stash yarn.
 
This square is the square that was voted on by the members for January called Sunrise Beach by Jen Tyler.  This picture shows as the pattern is written (plus a few of my mistakes along the way).  I still need to add a few rounds to get it up to 12 inches but I haven't decided what color to use.  I'm thinking cream and then use cream to join the squares as well.
 


I'm not going to sugar coat it.  This pattern was a bit difficult to read and took some concentration.  I'm so happy with the result though!  It is so pretty :)

Picture From the Camera

 

I made Kaylee some curtains for her bedroom using the pictured Solar System fabric.  I had enough left over to make a throw pillow for her bed.  After many tries to take a picture without her blinking this is the result!  hehe  (Don't tell her I put this on the blog.  She doesn't know :)

Bible Verse/Devotional

  6. That is a pretty square although it does look complicated even to someone who doesn't do anything like that. My husband says this up and down weather pattern means spring is on the way. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

  8. Our weather has been much the same - grams always said it was cold and flu weather because of all the ups and downs. Love the fabric for your daughter's pillow and curtains. Have a GREAT week.
