The Beader Crochets

I have spent the last several days finishing up a project that I began almost a year ago.  The project was a request from my son to make him a blanket-sized afghan.  Yes, blanket-sized.  I had to take a few longish breaks from this project as life intervened.  Even so, the prediction I made when I first started working on this afghan about how long it would take me to finish was uncannily accurate.  My son asked me if it would be done by Christmas, and I said, "Yes, next Christmas."

The finished afghan is 85x110 inches and fits comfortably on my double-sized bed.

And then I began the next requested project, which is the scarf in progress, pictured below, in camo yarn.

This project will definitely be done by Christmas--this year.  :)

"I Craft, Therefore I Am!"

It's always nice to get a little freebie along with something you've ordered.  (That's why I always try to include something extra when I package orders from The Midnight Beadery.)

Today I received an order from Create For Less which included the above tattoo.  Normally I don't go in for tattoos, but this one is different.  It's me.  It expresses who I am.  Besides having dedicated myself to crafting, I was also a philosophy major in college and can appreciate so well the allusion to Descartes.  I just had to put it on right away!

So, what did I order?

Camouflage yarn for the next crochet project my son has asked me to work on.  He wants a scarf and a hat.  Small potatoes compared to the last thing he asked me to make him, a gigantic project which I am almost finished with, but more on this later.

For now I need to go around and show off my tattoo!
