I picked up 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton at the library the other night and tried out block 161 - Daisy Chain. I might make another and two plainer squares for a pillow cover. Or maybe this'll just end up on my wall in the craft room.
While I was at the park, photographing my little granny square, I caught a flash of yellow out of the corner of my eye. This was all I was able to capture with my camera:
I had to run but I'm going to go back later. If I can manage to capture this elusive fellow I think I have a friend who could provide a very good home for him....
In other news, I spent Tuesday night going through my clothes and dropped four bags off at Goodwill this afternoon. Egads, did that feel good! I got rid of two-thirds of the clothing that hung in my closet and I still have my summer clothes to go through.
I managed to only hang on to a couple of things that I should have given away: the sweater I had my senior photo taken in and a light brown, men's corduroy jacket that I love love love. I'm going to cut the jacket up and make it into a tote bag. If the sweater were feltable I'd make it into a bag as well but it's not - I don't know what I'm going to do with it. It's too tacky to wear but too sentimental to get rid of. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
that granny square is WAY cute!

What's that elusive yellow creature? I'd like to think it's a chicken and that I'm the friend you want to give it to! I have this notion that doing the urban chicken thing would be cool! I'm betting though, that in a park, it was not a chicken! although once there was a big black rooster walking around South Park, so weirder things have happened! Oh, and I totally vote pillow for the tacky sweater too!
