What I am working on and hoping to get done in the Nick of time....

Wow, I have been busy, trying to get things all finished up so I can just sit and breathe.   I have a teenage grand daughter and she has been wanting an afghan/blanket for quite awhile.  She reminded me again on Thanksgiving that she is still wanting one.  So I ordered some yarn when Joann's had that mega yarn sale on black friday..I think I may have over estimated the amount of yarn I needed.  So I will have some leftover..maybe Joann's will let me do an exchange.  I am told they would take it back at the store as long as I have my receipt..so I will try and do that.  Those that know me well know that I don't usually make things with yarn.  I am a thready through and through.  So between the trees and the blanket I haven't touched thread for at least a week or two.  Now I have a friend..Charlotte who is a whiz working with yarn and tends to really crank out blankets..I am slower than molasses on a cold morning when it comes to working with anything thicker than size 10 thread. Give me thread and a little hook and I am a hooking fool...so this has me slowing down and I am concerned I may not get it done in time....so friends wish me speed and nimble fingers.  Oh I started a runner in that new book I before the yarn touched my fingers..but after looking at it I think I am going to frog it and start again with a smaller hook..oh and while waiting for the yarn to get here I started another doily...so I have three things waiting in the wings...I am gonna attach the pics at the end of my post as things tend to go crazy when I try to put them in as I mentioned them..I also have moved my craft room back to the bigger room.  My daughter and my son in law thought my little room was too small and so they moved 3 different rooms for me...and I am so grateful..my son in law looked and just grinned and shook his head when he saw how much was packed in my little space..now after looking at it I wonder how I had it all in there...I am only showing you one wall...and the mess I make when looking for a pattern...OK guess I will show you the pics...and if I don't make it back here I want you all to have a very merry Christmas...blessings to you all
