While these two "marinate" on my
design wall; and until I decide
whether to add more blocks or not....
I am picking up this project
below to
keep my hands busy....

Remember this???
My Granny Stripe Afghan...
I am calling it my "Meditation" piece....
As,
the repetitive nature of the crocheting
has its own rhythm that is
so soothing and relaxing...
I am able crochet two rows
at one time...
And, if I don't go crazy
and do too much,
it doesn't seem to bother my
hands; most likely because
it uses different muscle
movements...
All the yarn is part of my leftover stash
that I kept
[rather, I could NOT bear
to part with👀]
after giving most all
of my stash and
knitting needles away...
I must say I do regret giving
those needles away--some were my
Grand-mere's even.....
[Note to self: think long and hard
when you de-stash to avoid
"de-stasher's remorse"]
Here are four of the 5 variegated colors
I am using...They are all from
"Miss Babs" online store...just
really such soft and yummy yarns
in such beautiful colorways...
I have made quite a bit of headway;
I am crocheting the longer, lengthwise
sides (R to L above).
What's really nice is that
the crocheted part keeps my
lap warm while I am working
on it ;))))).

Since today is Halloween we always
have our bigger meal @ Noontime.
Tom made us Creamed Tuna on Toast.
He makes a mean white sauce--
so, so good!!
In the past two years we have not
had even one "trick or treater";
but....
a lot of new families have moved in,
so I do have some candy on hand--
just in case....
Amazing that the two types I chose
are our favorites...hahaha:
Snickers and Mounds...
Guess which one is mine,
can you???👵
Hugs on this spooky day,
