I am totally making myself these for my cookbook collection!!! Thank you to The Crafty Crow's Blog for finding these and posting about them. I have been looking for the perfect book ends for the books above my kitchen cupboards for 2 years now. Every time I find something I like they are too wide or heavy or not the right color... license plates are the perfect solution. I only have 1 right now (will post pictures later) b/c of course my hubby cleaned them up from the garage thinking we would never have a use for them. :(
I am going to recruit my family to save all their plates in hopes of ending up with a couple more. I usually get the yearly sticker instead of the new plate, but this year am thinking I'll have to mail in the paperwork in time to get the plate instead of driving to get the sticker the day my plate expires. :)

Warmer Weather Ahead!

Mmmmm... today is a beautiful spring type day! It's warmish and breezy and I love it!
The whole family has been sick for weeks and I am so ready to be over it. It seems to be settling in my chest now so I'm praying that it's not turning into bronchitis. :(
I have almost finished Cait's rug. I just have to weave in the bazillion ends and add a nice nonslip back to it. I ended up adding extra rows and circles to the existing rows to make it larger for her floor. The original doorstep size just looked lost when I laid it down on her floor. The pattern is from Crochet Me.


I'm also working on adding some long panels to Charlie's blanket (it was my 1st big project ever). I think it's going to take 4 of them, 2 for each side to make it wide enough to fit our bed.


Lastly I'm making yet another pair of star stitch handwarmers for my sister and then for me this time. I don't have photos yet of the project but I'm using the yarn pictured below.
