Good morning everyone! Pete couldn't sleep Saturday night so we stayed up binge watching TV until 5:a & then had to get up 4 hours later to go to a wedding (which was a great wedding by the way). By the time we got back home, I was so tired I could barely see straight. I didn't do anything around the house, but I did set up my ongoing Twitter promotion. I did an experiment last month. I gave equal money to facebook, Pinterest, & Twitter for ad promotion & of the 3, facebook got the least impressions, Pinterest was a little better but not by much, & Twitter blew them all out of the water. So, if you're looking to pay for an ad campaign, Twitter seems to have the best bang for the buck. Right now I'm paying $1/day for a Twitter promotion & am getting over 300 impressions per day with a 10% click-through rate. Not bad! After I got that all set up on Twitter (making sure I'm targeting the correct people & not putting crochet & knitting stuff on people's pages who are only interested in diesel trucks), I worked on my temperature afghan square of the day, made 1 crocheted square for my Fantasy Garden afghan, & then did my best to stay awake through watching some TV with Pete. We went to bed at a decent hour & I expected to sleep late today to make up for lost sleep, but somehow snapped awake at the usual time & forced myself to get up so I didn't lose a lot of hours today & so I wouldn't completely screw up my sleep schedule. I'm tired, but not as tired as I expected I'd be. Today I'm going to work on my favorite knit entrelac afghan. Woo! Good news for House of Cards fans, season 5 is now available on Netflix & the season finale of Lucifer will be on Hulu tonight. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone! It's cloudy & raining here, but we always need the rain. :) I worked on my Wendy Blanket yesterday & got a little bit closer to being done. I think the next one I make will be smaller. I'll remove a few rounds from the pattern directions. This thing is going to be insanely huge! Today I work on my favorite afghan, the knitted entrelac. Woo! It's Sunday though, full house. I may not get as much time on it as I hope. Tomorrow I'll be at a wedding, so I won't be here, knitting or crocheting, or anything else. Have a great day everyone & try to stay dry if it's raining where you are.

Good afternoon everyone! I wasn't here yesterday because I had errands to run in another county far far away. lol It was just over a 1 hour drive 1 way, not too bad but still pretty far. By the time I got home I decided to just work on my Victorian Ripple kit afghan & finished it. WOO!
After that I started a new kit, Peaceful Pastels Afghan:
Today I'm going to work on the Wendy Blanket some more. It's so huge that even though there are only a few more rounds left, they take forever to complete. Especially the outer granny square round. So many granny squares to make that outer round! WOW! This thing is going to be large enough for a king-sized bed (ours is only queen-sized). I won't be here Monday, I have a wedding to attend out in Ft. Worth. Eve & Kyle will be here with the pets while I'm gone at least. I don't want to leave a brand new puppy home alone for too long. Have a great weekend everyone!
