First, the finished project. This a baby blanket I've been crocheting over the summer. That pattern is Soft Snuggles Baby Blanket from the book Colorful Cuddlers. It was a fairly easy pattern, and, although I'm not a huge fan of pastels, I ended up liking how the blanket turned out.

Monday Mayhem!!
Eh, not really. Just another quiet day! Work continues in the old office/craft room. I have yet to tackle my years' (plural) worth of magazines. I have folded and organized the fabric, and removed much of the clutter. It's actually looking might nice! We had a quiet weekend. We did a little decorating for Halloween. … Continue reading Monday Mayhem!!
