Sick and Achy

Well, I should clarify that David is the one who has been sick. He is finally feeling better but there were days he would get up for 30 minutes to drink something and take some medication before he would go back to sleep for a few hours. I have not been sick but this new workout routine made me so sore on Tuesday I could hardly walk. I forgot how much squats can just kill my thighs. Also, plank exercises make my whole body shake and then my abs burn for days afterwards. DAYS.
I finished the two baby blankets for the baby showers I attended over the last weekend. They were well received.

Shadowbox blanket in white with a pink/brown variegated border. 

Bunny blanket which is a bright turquoise but the colors do not want to show up properly.

Close up of the bunny motif. The blanket is set up with 4 bunnies to a row and 3 rows of bunnies.

I finished the wedding present for David's best friend. Again, I have to wait to post pictures since I don't want the surprise ruined. I will say that I love how this set turned out and the color is just beautiful. I also need to finish the purse organizers for my mother and mother-in-law. One is ready for felting, the other needs the stitch work done and then the felting. For myself, I decided to make up my own pattern based off the other pattern. I wanted something slightly bigger, with a different design instead of the 2 color block set. The crochet case I was making for my bamboo hooks does not look as nice I had hoped for - I will finish putting the pieces together but I do not think I will use it. I found a different pattern for a hook-holder that I was planning on using for the rest of my hooks that I prefer. So I will make a second one in the navy blue using the other pattern. It should have room for all the stitch markers, scissors, and measuring tape. If not, I will attempt the fancier case with a different hook size (it appears too small and I do not like how the stitches appear).
We will be flying to Georgia for the wedding soon. I am so excited - my father decided to take a few days off while we'll be in town which will be so nice. David has some things he has to do with the wedding but I decided that I will spend the time with my parents. My mother and mother-in-law also have questions about crochet so we might spend a day working on various projects or heading out to a craft store for supplies.
