So many projects

I took a picture of all my current works in progress.  The crochet blanket and the hexie quilt are long term projects.  The hexie quilt wouldn't be that long term of a project if I'd take the time to read the instructions and find out the next step.  The knitting in the lower left corner needs to be frogged and restarted.  It's a cowl and I want it longer.  The way it's turning out now it would be a choker.  I know I won't wear it at the current size.  The orange snowman looking thing is suppose to be a scarecrow cat.  I started this back in October.  All I need to do to finish it is close the bottom and make a hat.  I did the hardest part of sewing on the nose.  No progress has been made on r2d2.  I was going to make spring coasters for our kitchen table.  I have one and it's not finished.  I've used this pattern before but for some reason this time it's much larger.  I will probably frog the coaster and try a different pattern. The gold yarn in the upper right corner is a cowl I will wear to work tomorrow.  I need to wear red and yellow, it's a school thing.  I don't wear much yellow.  It's not a color that looks good on me.  I'm hoping gold is close enough.

I love this yarn and I like knitting the cowl.  My sister will be visiting the week before Easter.  I hope she will be able to help me restart it.  We may have to make a trip to the yarn store to seek help from a professional.  : )

Gardening always gets pushed to the back of the home projects.  I always have high hopes but life gets busy.  This spring I was inspired by the new Taproot magazine to try planting cosmos.  The seeds were planted last weekend and they are already growing.  I hope they survive once I plant them in the flower bed.

I'm still trying to understand our DSLR camera.  I have a new smaller camera bag, a new camera strap, and two books.  So far I've not taken any pictures I've liked.

I've been obsessed with reading this journaling website/shop Jenni Bick DC.  The store is located in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C. I have lived in the Washington D.C. area for twenty years and I've never been to Dupont Circle.  To say I want to go is an understatement.  I am already plotting a trip for when my sister is visiting, lucky for me she enjoys shops like this one.  I hope we won't be disappointed.  Do I need a new journal? NO! Do I want to go look at pretty journals? Yes!  Just so you know, I am in no way affiliated with this store.  I happened upon it via Instagram and thought it looked like a place I would love to explore.

The day I took this picture of Avi I had a headache.  I could totally relate to wanting to sleep in this position.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.  Have a lovely week,  Lisa
