Play, Mysteries and birthday parties! Whoa!!

Bonjour my readers (all like 2 of you).
I'm going to try to be more open, seeing as this blog is not just about me getting pregnant, or it is it about having babies, but now all along it is about raising a family and being a mom. (and not killing myself or my husband in the process). So HOPEFULLY I will be posting more often.

Things are progressing nicely! My oldest: Ally, is going to be 3 in May and we have a messy & colorful party planned for it. My youngest (Mo) is going to be 2 in November and I have a monster party in the works. (So there's that to plan for).

Life is good for me. I decided I needed MORE to do and am currently in a play! (I know right?) but I'm having a lot of fun and the cast and crew are very enthusiastic so we'll have to see how things go.

I'm hoping to sell more at a craft sale and I'm having fun figuring out what to make and (of course) making them. :)

At the moment I'm doing a "Crochet along Challenge" and It's a complete mystery as to what it's going to look like.

I am always curious as to where people get the colors. A lot of colors were picked and so people picked those Pre-chosen choices. Some people just picked what they had in their stash and some people posted that they liked random colors and that's what they took.

For me it was Simon. Yep. the 80s game that was fine for the first 4 levels then pretty much broke into a dance beat and expected you to keep up. There was a post the day I picked my colors that talked about 80s toys we won't ever see again. and when I saw Simon I thought: Those would be a pretty something.... and then I realized I had to get yarn for my challenge and bells went off.

Why not?

So step one was fairly simple.
Granny squares. Here we go. Something I could do in my sleep. Something I almost made too many of because I forgot to count.... easiest thing for any crocheter to do.

20 granny squares.

Step 1: DONE!

Week 2 comes around and all these Xs start popping up all over the place.  All over the challenge page and my other crocheting facebook groups. so I start thinking... I have to make an X or 2. nope: 20. On top of the green squares, I need to create a contrasting X. So off I go to make an X. And they turn out okay.

Fantastic looking right? Yellow and Green. Awesome. (altho I think I'm getting into a rut with my colors. This is the second Yellow and green project I have going).

The only problem with this is that it reminds me of a superhero... someone...
oh yeah:

That's it.... So I have finished my 20 Xs and I will continue on Tuesday with the next step in my Blanket. :)
