National Crochet Month

What does grout sealer and furniture wax have to do with crochet you ask? Well nothing but I just wanted to share that I have been very busy finalizing some of our home renovations. We are coming to the home stretch. I have been busy sealing tile grout, deep cleaning the house, waxing my furniture after months of dust and dry weather, and staining 1/4 round molding for the wood floor. As soon as things are finished I will share before and after photos. So with all this going on I am not doing much sewing. I am working on a post card for an exchange I signed up through Sheila's blog. I have a deadline so I need to get it done.

 So March is National Crochet Month. I thought I would share some of the crochet I have been working on. Most of which was done while watching the winter Olympics. I have joined two crochet alongs. This one is from Spincushions. This is a granny square crochet along where you  make a variation of the granny square each month. The goal is to make three blocks a month. I need to work on this month's blocks.

 Another crochet along I joined is on Ravelry.com. You can read more about it here.

 I saw this Bernat Mosaic yarn used in a book so I bought some to make a afghan for my daughter. The colors are not this bright but no matter what I did I just couldn't get the photos to look right even with photo editor. I am choosing the blocks from the crochet along that I think I can do.

 During the Olympics I also worked on and finished crocheting my scarf  from a Craftsy.com workshop. I am really pleased with the results.

 Here is this weeks memory verse from Jenny.

So since I am very busy with the house I am going to take another week break from blogging. Talk to you later.

With Passion,

Carrie P.
