Pioneer Woman at Heart

Dolly Parton ha d a coat of many colors.  I now have a scarf of many colors.   I need another project, like a need a hole in my head. However. I've wanted to learn the corner to corner (C2C) crochet stitch, and I'm using up leftover, leftover yarn. While I'm crocheting the scrap blanket, there are small balls of yarn.  That would be the "leftover, leftover" yarn balls.  They are too small to even make one row across the blanket, so they are in a basket. My inner, "you can't store that anymore " and "can't waste it mode" (again) kept poking at me .

The baby blanket is finally finished.  I used the diamond pattern that I used for two other previous blankets.  I edged it in a row of white and pink to give it a different look. I crocheted a newborn baby beanie to go with it.  Just for fun! I hope the gift recipient and my cousin (buying it) likes it.

Our daughter named the one on the left "Dallas."  Both Dallas and Jackson are enjoying the grass already.  Although this week has been cold, they love it here.  Dallas is v ery f riendly, but Ja c k son i s a bit tim id yet. I can tell already they know who "Mom" is as well.  As soon as Daughter walks near the barn (where they can see her approaching), they run inside to her.  Of course she is the food supplier, so they know.  So funny to see them so attached to her already.

. . . still working on the scrap crochet blanket.  I had plans to donate it, but Hubby and one daughter are fighting over who will get it.  We'll see.  This is my project to unwind on cooler evenings here. Right now it's 55 inches wide by 42 inches long.

The start of my scrap blanket.  I'm using all the yarn I have leftover from other projects.  It's my "five minutes for me" handiwork when I need a change of pace from the other current handiwork. Big fluffy clouds. A butterfly that often visits the front porch flowers, and....

I'm using leftover scrap yarn from crocheting seat cushions, to make these cup coasters in my very few spare minutes of time (which is about a few nights a week now, ha ha).
