Thrifting and Afghan Progress

        I found this awesome basket in a store called Dunia. They sell handmade items from other countries. I've gone there the last two years for my  b-day with my mother in law. I said it would be perfect to hold some yarn or a current project. My daughter asked me "Is yarn all you ever think about?" I of course said "Why yes, it is!" She thinks I'm nuts.
        But goodness doesn't it look adorable holding my yummy yarn and my giant granny afghan? I think so. I'm now on round 33. Not sure how big I'll make it but I'm enjoying working on it.
       While out shopping, I also found these two placards, for 1.50 each. I love snoopy so I smashed them to me and ran to buy them. I'll knock you out of the way if I see old snoopy items. Really.
      I was especially excited over this one as Race For Your Life Charlie Brown is my favorite peanuts movie. So That's what I've been up to. A little shopping and working on my afghan. This Friday a group of us are off to see the last Harry Potter. Can't wait for that, I love all things Harry Potter. Being that I'm really 16 inside instead of going on 41. So back soon with who knows what!

  3. I love that basket! Perfect for your yarn. I just posted today about figuring out the granny square. Tried for years to make one but couldn't understand all the patterns I tried to follow. Finally, came across one on a blog that made sense and now I got it. In fact, my first project was a pillow cover. And now I think I will use my leftover yarn to start on my own giant granny. Love how yours is coming along and lovely that your daughter is starting one too.

    I used to collect Snoopy items but gave them all away some years ago during a big clean out. :/

    Hope you are having a great day. Tammy
