My latest afghan

I started yet another afghan, and I still haven't finished the others. I just couldn't help it the yarn just jumped into my cart and demanded to be made into a afghan. Yup thats exactly how it happened. Its just a basic granny squares nothing fancy. They are a little over 12" so that will make a nice sized afghan, which we wanted for our queen sized bed.

kitchen towels

I have been wanting to make something for my other mom for the longest time so I finally did. It was funny I had been working on these, then randomly in an email she had said that she could use these. Quite funny what are the odds of that happening. At first I was nervous making my other mom something because to me she is a crochet goddess and I am a beginner. All I have left to do is sew on the buttons. For some weird reason though the color of the tops came out darker in the picture, I did the toppers in red hearts light sage green. I also made her something else but I can't post that as its a secret until she gets it lol.

I call her my other mom because in our family we drop the in law titles. Family is family for us just the way it is.

Heres the link I used for these towels.......
