Hi Henrietta and others who may be reading this,

It was interesting hearing about all of your projects! You certainly have
been busy!

So you finally finished the shawl. Bet you are so happy it is finally done
after all those false starts. Mine is coming along nicely, around 36" wide
right now. I work on it in-between all my other projects, attempting to give
equal time to all of them.

Your quilt colors sound quite cheerful. It will be nice for a spring or
summer cover. Have you decided whose bed it will lay upon?

I really had to smile at your description of making a six foot I-cord! Then
you didn't know what to do with it. well, you certainly came up with a
creative way to use it!

I had thought that making a basket out of I-cord might be interesting, but
didn't quite know how to go about it.
Now to catch you up to date on my projects, the crocheted granny square baby
blanket in lavender is coming slowly, it being the least interesting of my
projects right now. now if I actually had a baby to make it for, that would
be a different story.

Aside from the lacey shawl, my eWrap shawl in waterfall homespun blue is
also coming along well, everyone who sees it likes the blue shades, and I
think the light fabric will be perfect for my mother to wear in the
air-conditioned rooms in Florida. I hope to have that ready by mother's day.

My knitted felted squares are going slowly. I kept trying different stitch
patterns, not liking them for one reason or another, so beginning again. I
am now just doing basic eWrap with a pearl 2 on each end to prevent curling.
I'm not even done with one square yet.

My latch hook flower pup is going well. I am nearly 1'6 of the way done on
that. I am enjoying that, not having done latch hooking in awhile.

I am almost done with a beaded Easter egg in four colors and had been
contemplating who to give it to when it was completed. Just yesterday one of
my good friends happen to mention that she had to get her Easter decorations
out. ahah, I thought, that's who will get it. I don't know anyone else who
decorates for Easter.  I just made the egg because I thought it would be an
interesting project, which it is.

I believe those are all my projects at the moment. Hopefully, I can get a
few of these done before taking on more. With gardening season right around
the corner I know I won't be doing much crafting, my garden will be calling
me outside.

Well, later, take care Henrietta and all.

Cathy
