A Woman’s Diary

The blanket I am crocheting is coming along really great!! The only thing I wish I had was more time in a day so I can work on it. The only time I get a chance to work on it is after when I come home from work and get a chance to catch up on some shows from the day. That’s when I pull it out and start working on it.

It would be nice if it were the summer time and I was off from work for an entire weekend. Then I would go out to my swinging bench and crochet there in the nice summer breeze. Ahhh….that is my all-time favourite thing to do whether it’s reading on there or just relaxing. Dang…too bad it’s winter…seriously…I can’t wait for the summer.

Anyways, here is a photo of what I have done so far in regards to my blanket. You like??

The other day I saw a post by Jenn over here where she’s making such a gorgeous blanket. I got really inspired and ended up pulling out my crochet hooks and buying new yarn. I am totally making a blanket too.

I don’t know how to do the ripple effect, so I have decided to make a striped blanket. The colours are going to be white, blue, and pink and it will continue until I think the blanket is long enough.

Here’s a glimpse of what I have done so far and also my little crafts basket.

While I was in the Early Childhood Education program, I searched for many websites that had free printables and activities that I could use in the classroom. One of these websites I stumbled across was Preschool Printables.

They have a lot of useful things you can use at home with your child. The file folder games are my favourite. I used to have many file folder games with all sorts of games to play. All the children loved them and had so much fun completing the puzzles. They have pretty much one for every holiday and season. Print them out yourself and glue them onto a file folder. Don’t forget to get it laminated as it helps it last for many years to come.

Check it out. They are easily made and your child will have a blast playing with it!!
