The end is upon us! Finals week!

The final weeks of spring term usually signal to a family that summer is here. Hot days with kids stuck in classrooms, daydreaming about chilling at the river, and playing in the sunshine...

Here it signals that we will have another Junuary, with cold temps and stormy skies well into late June. It also signals college exams, which for most college student would mean going home to hang with friends and family for 3 months of summer bliss. For me, it signals selling back my text books, enjoying 1 week of blissful free time, before returning back to school for summer term...

That's me, the constant student...


On the news front of things, my roommates are moving out, and I started a new project. Promised hubby something handmade for our anniversary, but didn't get the sweater to work. 

I am doing a HUGE blanket. not like a large throw, but like a California king bedspread! 20 granny squares, 22 in each, in a 4x5 pattern, with random striping in each square. I am using Lionbrand Homespun in Pesto, Montana Blue, Ocean, Barley, and some other random blue tone of the same yarn I found in my stash! I might add some other blues greens and browns as I run low on the colors I have.

Also, started playing with Bernat Baby Stretch yarn to make headbands and hats for babies!

yeah, I don't have photos for that...

More posts to come about that!
