YOP 5 week 7: happy sunday

This may be one of my last updates for a few months. It's Halloween hat making season so I will be busy with orders. Yay! I really love making part of some one's Halloween costume. Last year I made 99 hats within 2  months. I still have to add a few items to my shop . For a better selection.
In other news I think I will be finishing up the Boston Bruins blanket today. I have the bottom of the B to sew. It is actually under my kindle right now as I write this post.

This is the back side. 

When ever I sit down to sew this blanket I ask myself why I torture myself so much. Because I love the Boston Bruins , thats why :) 

Well thats my update for the week. I hope I will have more next week. This past week I had a few orders to make so nothing else was made. Last year after making  so many hats for customers I took too much time off and ignored my yop list. This year i refuse to get lazy :)

    Erin, you are a wonder! And inspiring. Your energy and enthusiasm come through here even though you're keeping it short due to busyness. I look forward to reading more posts from you once things settle down.

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
