Lacy Blanket

This is another blanket for charity.  The yarn on the sides is a really soft mohair-like yarn.  I can just picture a little baby or toddler rubbing it between her fingers to find comfort, and there are a lot of little holes to discover and stick her fingers through.  This crochet piece was a calming activity for me admidst some stress as of late.

Big Sky

My daughter took this picture, and I cropped it a little, and zoomed in on the best part.  I love how the Light radiates from the little country church.

Baby's Cloud Blanket

This blanket is so cuddly and soft, like a cloud looks.  The yarn for this was really interesting. I got it at the local Big Lots store, at $1 per skien. It was made of polyester thread and at various intervals it had the puffs of color mixed in.  I used the BIGgest size hook I could find in my stash--an M.  I may just have to go back and get some more of that yarn.

Star Baby Afghan

I heard that our local mission needed baby blankets for the layette sets they send to the local hospitals.  They just donated about 15 sets last week, and were in need of more blankets.  I had several small scraps of pretty yarn, and started on a pentagon shape.  Eventually, I decided to make it into a star shape.  It is just the right size for a cover for a newborn, or to use in a baby carrier.  I was pleased with the combinations of colors.

April Fools Cake

My school had a Fun Night on April 1st, which is April Fools day here in the US.  They have lots of different carnival type games, bounce houses, and a cake walk.  The teachers/staff at the school were asked to provide cakes for the cake walk.  I was inspired to make something funny, considering the day.  I found a cake online that looked like a dog food bowl, using cereal for the food, and decided to add a water bowl to go with it.  My friends loved it.

Did you do anything for April Fools day?
