Went shopping!

Is it so terrible to get excited about a craft store closing? I mean... doesn't it mean that EVERYTHING goes on SALE? I just had to go. I couldn't see buying more yarn (even on sale) when I've been trying to get rid of excess anyway. Instead... I bought nylon thread! Pale pink and beige. I've seen the neatest purses made out of this and have been dying to try it out. I have a huge purse fettish anyway.
Since the store has been closing for two weeks, the pattern selection was down to doilies and dishcloths, I did happen to find two books that i've been thinking about getting "sometime". Lion Brands Just Scarves and Crochet Bags by Candi Jensen, speaking of purses. At 30% off I couldn't pass them up.
Now I just need to finish up the bag I'm working on now. I just have to finish up the strap, and then I can get to work! I'll also work on putting on more pictures of finished projects.

This is my sister-in-law Emily.

Isn't the carpet HIDEOUS??? It came with our house that was built in 1930. The baby blanket on the other hand is one of my favorites.
