You enabler, you! I just ordered the Minneapolis pattern . [ Lemme know what you think of her pattern and instructions. I haven’t made a purchase from her...yet I'm impressed with her hand embroidery guide. I liked her color chart provided with the pattern, too. I probably won't stitch it for a while.

I have been making and baking... in mini style. Very low calorie cakes and biscuits, some for my houses and a couple for friends. Sorry the detail doesn`t show up, wish I was a better photographer. Click on enlarged pic for a closer look. Cakes are about 1" round. Did you spot my liking my own post instead of pressing the edit button? Attachments:

Did you spot my liking my own post instead of pressing the edit button? How small are these? They’re adorable! Do you have to use a magnifier to make them?

Ladies, in the event you have grown tired of all your crocheted shawls and blankets, and find yourself needing a project to get the creative juices flowing...I give you Crocheted Shorts & Pants...For MEN! If you get busy, you can whip up a pair for the man in your life before Father's Day!

The look on dh face when he opens a pair of these on Christmas morning. I would practice and practice to keep a straight face. I think I'm partial to the banana root beer ones.

I clicked the link, there's even more ideas! What to do, what to do...? As hideous as the pants are, I actually like his crocheted parasols. I've been reading further on his Etsy site and just realized that he is not actually crocheting this items. Instead, he is taking old afghans and making them items from them.

I actually have an afghan exactly like the yellow and brown pair and I think everyone who received a knitted or crocheted blanket in the '80s has one too.

I finished this Snuggle This Muggle blanket for my dgs’s Harry Potter themed nursery just in time. My dgs made his appearance 5 1/2 weeks early on May 1st and is still in the NICU. Thankfully, he is doing well and so sweet! I’m now finishing up my Sweet Pea blanket and some other unfinished projects.

For some weird reason I'm more okay with these creations on men vs. women. Lol

Yesterday was my granddaughter’s baptism. Unfortunately, the shawl didn’t get a lot of use, as it was unseasonably warm, but my son sent me this photo.

She's so beautiful
MichyM your embroidery is just gorgeous. phoenix you are so talented, those cakes look delicious. **GypsyGirl** I wish I could describe the husband's expression when I asked him if he'd like a pair
I feel like I want to start a new shawl, my husband very kindly treated me to some yarn in the Wool Warehouse Drops sale and I'm busy making a list of all the shawls that I like. I have a few bookmarked in this Delicious crochet shawls that I picked up in the Works for £4.00

**GypsyGirl** I wish I could describe the husband's expression when I asked him if he'd like a pair I can only imagine! You've given me a brilliant idea though. In the guest room is a vintage 70's brown/green/gold afghan that MIL made. One of the dogs chewed a sizeable hole in one end so it is unusable. I'll tell DH that I can use it to make his some summer shorts! DH looks like a linebacker and is an engineer (aka no sense of humor), so you can imagine how well that suggestion will go over! sueg - Sophia is adorable, as is your shawl. So glad you had a wonderful visit. I hope your flight goes well.
