Sometimes I can take a vacation within my own mind.  But it just doesn’t do what a nice trip to the mountains and getting away from TV and computers and regular daily life does.  Now this weekend I am having a vacation at home because Mark is housesitting and having a guys weekend at his sister’s house.  This is an opportunity for me to get some long over due rest from stress and to rejuvenate for what comes next.  I have left my day job.  I am working on two orders for baby gifts.  The first is a beautiful lacy white and pastel baby afghan.  The second will be creamy pastel floor blanket.  This will be made of thicker Cotton for a padded surface to lay on the floor for baby to play on or for changing.  Although, I may rethink that after seeing how lovely the lacy blanket feels and looks.  I might have to make it more like this but perhaps in a four large square pattern rather than nine strips.  Anyway, enjoying my vacation at home which definitely includes working on crochet and knitting.  This just isn’t work, it is passion  The below set was made for Kalia Gwin Miller Collins my newest grand niece born on March 3.  Welcome Kalia…….
