Crochet Me Crazy

I really should have posted more progress reports on my Blue Star Afghan as I progressed on this but I've been a bad, bad blogger. Now, I find myself FINISHED with my afghan!!

I will still have many ends to weave in. The yarn quantities were right on this afghan and I didn't have to buy extra yarn. I love this afghan....even though there were a lot of errors in the pattern and the corrections, if you are an experienced crocheter, you can get through it and it turns out lovely. I think I may actually make this again. Alison wants one in pinks. I told her I'd have to get through the whole afghan before I could make a decision about whether I would make this again. My gift recipient is very excited to get this afghan so that makes me feel good that all my hard work is appreciated. (It's hard to keep this type of gift as a surprise from someone who is at your house a lot)

We've been so busy. It's that time of year that we are going to a whole lot of ballet. Alison has prolonged classes every day from here until show date. She's been at a disadvantage because of her ankle injury but she IS dancing and she says she feels confident she can "pull it off". After the show, she will get a nice break from dance which should give her time to fully recover.

We pulled out all the Christmas decorations this week and have been "decking the house" I have a whole lot of Christmas decorations and it's always a challenge figuring out where to put all this stuff in our tiny houses we've been in. Alison always insists on getting it all out though. She loves Christmas and so do I!
Tonight, we finished by decorating the Christmas tree...


Heck, we even decked the deer out! She's wearing her reindeer antlers...

This weekend was very quiet around here. The riding season is over so there were no rides. Yesterday, I took Morgan and Alison to town. I had no particular reason to go but they wanted to go so I cheauffered them around. Morgan got a hair cut and tried to do some incognito Christmas shopping for Alison. We ended the day by going to the movie theater last night and saw Red Dawn. It's been a long time since I've gone to the movie theater. It was a good movie.
