Well, I started another project, hopefully I can get this done before Father's Day, if not, it will make a great Christmas gift.  I've started on the Nine Patch Afghan in shades of brown.  Here is what I have decided on mine.  Nine block pattern will be Coffee and Off-White, it will take 60 squares for the Coffee color and 48 blocks of off-white, I have 9 blocks of each color done.  The outside blocks will be done in Brown and and the setup will be Tan and if I can find varigated brown's (I don't remember what it is called) I'm going to use it for the 20 blocks inside the afhgan.  There is a diagram of the afghan on that link Nine Patch Afghan, to show you what I'm talking about.  So there will be a total of 285 squares to make.  I have 2 of the 12 nine patch ready to piece together.  And since I don't like having a bag of squares sitting around, I'll be putting those blocks together tonight.

I haven't been working on cross-stitching the Care Bear afghan in the past week.  Everyone here is sick and just now getting back on our feet.  And I just couldn't keep the stitching in mind.  With jumping up and down to get things, it was just something that could wait.  I did get several rounds done on the rectangle granny afghan, so it coming right along about 40% done.

That's all on my sewing room update.

Blessings,
