Other blogs.

Do you find other blogs inspiring??  Great ideas?? and then find yourself starting yet another project ?? I would like to say that is what I have been doing this week.. But I have not... :((
It hasn't been for the want of trying, it was a time factor..
This afternoon my friend came to visit and we had a show and tell.. all I had to show was this.


After sharing my pattern for my moss st washer I decided to add a flower and a 3ch loop around to complete.
Lets hope this week will bring a number of crochet items that I will be able to show you..
Remember a smile goes for miles.. See you at your blog. :))
