I  know a couple of weeks ago I posted me temple for my temperature blanket color guide, but me indecisiveness got the best of me so I changes it again. as I looked back at what I had I realized I wanted more colors. This is my final decision... I have already started my blanket and have 2 weeks done so I can not change again. Yao here goes   99+ Burgundy  93-98 Soft Red 85-92 Watermelon  80-84 Pumpkin  74-79 Orange  67-73 Sunshine  60-66 Super Duper Yellow/Lemonade  53-59 Dark Sage 46-52 Green 40-45 Sage 32-39 Robin's Egg 26-31 Berry Blue 20-25 Grape 14-19 Iris 8-13 Prefect Plum 2-7 Deep Country Blue (-4)-1 Heather Grey Below -5 Off White Special Date:  Snow Fall: White Rainy Days: Soft Ball Holidays: Silver Sparkle 1st of Month: Dark Grey Special Date colors will be used in the 3rd round of the Hexagon Granny Motfis I am using for the Temperature Blanket Pattern I am using.  If you look back at my last post about my

As if I don't already have enough projects going I had another idea... Everyone that grew up in the 90's loves Mario! Just need to laminate it to help protect it. Going to make a corner to corner afghan with this graph. plan to start later tonight with it.  Until Next Time!

After much deliberation and a lot of searching for ideas on google, Pinterest, and many different Facebook groups, I finally made a pattern decision!!! I can't even begin to tell you know exciting this makes me. I had no idea how many different ways you can go about making temperature blankets. Between choosing colors template and picking out the pattern, and it doesn't just stop at blankets possibilities are endless.  Any way let's get back to my pattern that I am doing: Granny Hexagon Motif Okay, so this is not the best photo I know that. Darker yarn is always difficult for me to capture, and turn out to look decent. I probably should have made a different motif for this, but since I am already in the middle of this post I am just going to go with it. This is a much better photo then the first, but I just wanted to show that I will doing 3 round when the motif is finished.

This is my first completed project of 2016! I am going to try to keep count of every item I make this year. My cousin requested a Slouchy Hat, I am not a huge fan of how this one turned out. So I tweek aroundn with this hat to make the slouch, longer aso it looks "slouchier" I will repost a picture oncenit is finished. I hope someone likes it, because I am still unsure. Until next time!

Okay, complete on honesty it is not really my idea. I am just jumping into the band wagon. I first saw the idea on Facebook, the first place I saw the idea came from  Repeat Crafter Me Facebook . If you don't already follow Sarah you should check out her work. Here is her actual website  RepeatCrafterMe . I wasn't a huge template that was used in post  Bernat Colors . So, I decided to change it up, many times! Stage One: This is a few of the many colors that I have of Caron Simply Soft, plus more. I decided I wanted more colors to make it as colorful as possible. At this point I was going to do 10 colors red(hot) to purple(cold.) Stage Two:   This is what is came up with, but I didn't like it.
