today...

the other day my mom was going through some boxes in her closet, stuff that belonged to her grandmother... she handed me a bag full of old crochet projects... there were several granny squares of various patterns, but not enough of anything to actually do anything with... thats a bummer... i can still make some into pillows, using 9 or so, for the front, and then doing one big granny in a solid color on the back... my mom seems to like that idea... there was also a cute granny skull cap (not sure what they are called) that needs a few more rows added onto it... i'm gonna need my mom to finish that one for me... its a simple shell pattern, but my great grandmother was right handed, and i'm left handed, so i think it would look funny, especially since she left off mid-row. i'm gonna do a cute flower though and attach it on, and it will be very retro... thats in right now, right? i guess so... i'm not really into what's in though... i just started buying new "bohemian" clothes, i'm really glad they are in, i had been trying to attempt that look for years, and now the clothes are widely available, and they look so cute... lots of long flowing skirts... very earthy/hippy, without looking like some kind of freak. anyways, back on topic. so we were at biglots today, trying to buy wagon wheels... we are doing a pioneer theme for the living room, and my mom wanted to get some wagon wheels to hang on the walls... needless to say, they were sold out. but i found some cute yarn, Caron Feathers... so i bought a few rolls of it, and am debating whether i should do an irish hiking scarf (even though i haven't yet finished the first), or if i should make a sweater for little daphne... i need to find some gold fabric and make some tiny throw pillows for daphne... we got her this adorable little loveseat, its made for dolls, but its the right size for a bed for her, and its burgundy. i'm redecorating my bedroom to look like a brothel, kind of a moulin rouge look, with gold and burgundy. my next step is to find some burgundy satin sheets for a twin size bed... but anyways, this isn't a redecorating blog, if it were, it would be very boring, considering i don't know what i'm really doing anymore...
