Flower Power Baby!!!

The Flower Power Dishcloth is now my new favorite dishcloth to make.  Don't get me wrong I still like The Almost Lost Dishcloth but Flower Power is faster and a little bit more fun. Again, a big thank you to Heldasland for originally posting the link to this fun little project.

I can whip one of these up in no time at all.  I love to play around with the yarn a little to see what fun combinations I can come up with.

This was my original washcloth.  I really liked it but after making the ones above I knew it needed a little something more.

 

A simple single crochet (sc) border in a contrasting color is all it needed to add a little bit of fun.  It makes the dishcloth just a tiny bit wider which I like so much.  You know me by now I have to tweak a pattern, I just can't help myself.

I am excited to make more this weekend.  I have this whole basket of Sugar n' Cream cotton yarn to play with.  I think I might be done with this project much faster now.  Crochet is faster than knitting that is for sure. I think 15 knitted washcloths is enough for now.

What to do with a very, very tired little boy on a rainy Friday evening?  Well make him a place to settle in and watch Elmo on the television.  Sometimes the TV is just what is needed to help ease over a bout of super tiredness.  I mean this little one goes to school, gets all sorts of therapy there and then comes home and goes to therapy as well.  I woke him from a 3 hour nap yesterday, he was sooooooo tired.  Sometimes we need a bit of Elmo to make us happy.

Well Elmo and a snuggle.

Today I am planting some Mums, and hanging out outside with Little Buddy before the heat sets in.  There is the slightest change in the morning air, yesterday when I headed out for my 6:30 AM walk it was only 72 degrees out.  By the afternoon it was 89, but that isn't our regular 92, so that is progress.

Wishing you a wonderful day.

Oops I forgot to wish my Dad a happy birthday tomorrow, he will be 91.  He is a handful but we are glad he is still here.
