I've Only Been Kind of Crafty

I've been pretty restless lately.  A couple weeks ago I started going to this fitness thing and I LOVED it and was ready to commit to doing it more regularly (severely cutting into my crafting time).  And then I had gum surgery, and then a got a cold...and I've been too lazy.  I have been crafting a little though - so here are the things I've been working on - nothing is really done though.  It's all a work in progress.

I made a bunch more quilt squares.  I had some issues with my seams so I ended up with 6" squares.  (Thanks to TN ladies who explained what "squaring off" meant.)  I made a few with 4" squares too since I wanted to try something different than the 2.5" squares.  I'm feeling like I can maybe tackle some other patterns even.  

These two are my favorite.  I love the white background with the green, coral, and yellow flowers.  I originally bought just a FQ for my quilt - but I am using most of it for a crochet hook rollup that I'm going to work on tomorrow.  

I started another baby blanket.  This is my favorite pattern that I've made so far.  It will have a double ruffle and it's pretty lacy.  The yarn is a Bernat baby yarn in Strawberry Jam.  <3

This is another baby blanket I've been working on.  I started it a long time ago and I really like the inside pattern with it's little picot stitches.  But, this is the second time I've tried this pattern and I can't get the border right.  GRRRR.  It basically has you make all those tabs and then you do two more "rows" around those tabs to make a thicker border.  But I never end up with the right number of tabs and then the pattern seems off anyway.  I'm hoping it's a pattern error and not operator error. :)

 I'm contemplating pulling all the tabs out and just doing a solid border around the edge (the blanket is a little small without a border of some sort).  But, the more I look at it the more I kind of like the little fingery tabs.  So I don't know what I'm going to do with it just yet. 

and as an added bonus, some pictures of my puppies.  Apparently they are ready for me to stop quilting/blogging, and come to bed already.  Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow to show you my awesome new crochet hook roll-up. :)
