Friday Sunrise

This morning's sunrise was full of changing colors.  It was fun to share it with my 8 year-old, who is well enough to return to school today.  We saw colors of peach, pink, gold, lavender, blue and yellow.  What a wonderful way to start the day today.  Not many kids take the time to enjoy a sunrise, but I try to share those moments with them when ever I can.

Progress on the next blanket

This current (crocheted) blanket now measures 68 inches wide by 21 inches long.  This pattern is much more challenging and requires more concentration.  The stitches used are basic, but it takes more thought and requires less distractions and interruptions, than the last blanket.
