Crochet Me Crazy

I'm still going to make that scrap afghan but I don't think it's suitable for a gift so I've halted construction. I'm not sure that I can pull this off by Christmas or not but I've switched up colors to a bright colorful scheme and started another one! Would this be nice for an 11 year old girl? If I can finish this by Christmas, then this will be her gift. I started out with the bright colors and a yellow border....but then I didn't like the look.

I don't like the yellow border. So I decided I like it better with just the solid colors joined. Off came the yellow border and this is the way I've decided to go with it. I believe I have enough bright colors in my Simply Soft yarn stash for this.
I will be adding a bright turquoise blue next.

I'm up early this morning. We have a tin roof on our house and the cats have taken to playing games on my roof during the early morning hours. It sounds like a herd of elephants on my roof!! This morning I went outside and called to the kitties. It did stop them from playing on my roof but I'm already up so I might as well stay up. It's nice to have time to drink a cup of coffee in peace before I start my chores. I'm enjoying my second cup of coffee from my new Kuerig coffee machine that my sister gave me for my birthday!
