Crochet Me Crazy

Alison had special Saturday dance class today. She has Saturday classes for the next 4 weeks to get prepared for her ballet exam. I sat in on class and watched and took notes for what she needs to work on.

My husband went to the Republican Senate District Convention today. We were both elected delegates at our precinct conventions after our primary on March 4. The Senate District is the next step up. I didn't go because I really didn't think I had a chance of getting elected delegate at this next level and Alison needed to be at her dance class. Amazingly, our precinct is only allowed 1 delegate to go to the State Convention and my husband was elected!! None of the other people wanted to go to state except one woman that showed up who had not been elected at our precinct convention. She had gotten elected afterwards by going before the elections committee. Usually, in order to be able to do that, its more difficult and you really need to "know" someone or at least that's what I was told at a delegate training we went to at 1st Baptist Church. In any case, my husband was voted in instead of her so I guess he's moving on! Luckily, the State Convention is here in town so we won't have to travel but if he makes it through that process, he gets to go to National in Minneapolis! That would be exciting!

I'm just hanging out today and making some buttons for my friend, Linda Hunnicut, the Granny Warrior. I have her button making supplies and she tells me when she needs buttons and me and the kids make them and mail them to her. So right now we're making about 200 buttons for Freedom Rally April 15, 2008 in Washington DC. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to go. It would just cost way to much to make the drive plus Jeff has a business trip to Dallas he has to make the week before and he's picking up my elderly mother to come for a visit on his way home so my mom will be staying with us. We will, however, be attending this rally in Austin, Texas: Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom :: TexasTURF.org - MARCH ON AUSTIN APRIL 5!

Onto the crochet things I've finished.




This is a bath mat (obviously)...I felt like using up some cotton yarn and making squares so I put this together using various square patterns.


This is the same dish towel I posted a few days ago but I finished a hot pad to go with it so this is the set together. It's a nice hot pad pattern I got free here:
Scalloped Potholder
This designer, Priscilla Hewitt, has very nice patterns that are beautiful and easy to follow. Someone over at the Crochetville forums compiled a nice list of links for her patterns here: Priscilla's Crochet.


I have now started on the Crochet Triangle post that I posted the link for a few days ago. I'll admit, even though my plan was to finish unfinished projects before I start a new one, I still have a ski mask that I'm neglecting to finish before I start a new one! I will drag that out and finish it up though. Michael asked me whatever happened to that the other day. He said it was un-like me not to finish something! I consider that a compliment! :)
