I made my perpetual calendar (tho' it still needs a little work but those are just additions! )

Is that done with photo corners?  Clever!

Troublet and ffrog, I bet you both make awesome TOC plans, wish I could come teach in your classes while you get better.  In our district teachers are supposed to have a plan for the next day in case they are sick, but then the TOC is supposed to look back at previous days and plan for the following day, while the full time teacher is sick, they should not be worrying about their class, they should be getting well.  but I know TOC lists are different everywhere, here you must be a fully qualified teacher to be on the on call list. 

On the crafting front
-finished black guacho's, turned out to be very see through, so they will be for the beach over my swimsuit
-finished blue blouse
-finished 14 shoulder scarves

tomorrow I plan to tidy up the craft room, next week will be spring cleaning it, after I sew a blue hoody and my orange blouse and a pair of capri pants, lol,

Had a personal swap partner receive, so I can post pics now.

"Hidden" owl fingerless gloves, because we both love Labyrinth. This was my first time crocheting cables.


A kawaii bunny I modified off the Lavender Bunny pattern on her wist.

(It's sitting on my knee )

The perpetual calendar is great! I have been eying something similar, but can't commit to it yet!
Those hidden owl fingerless gloves are fantastic! The only problem is that I know I would keep looking at them from different angles to see if I could find the owls and people would think that there was something very odd about me!

On my crafting front, I have been practicing my crocheting. I have a nice little practice piece going - it shows me that I am improving, but that I still have a very long way to go before I attempt anything real.

I am also cleaning and reorganizing my craft room (ie dining room). Yay! My husband decided that having totes of craft supplies on the floor was getting to him - so he brought ugly rubbermaid shelves in from the garage. I can not say that it is not an attractive answer, but at least I will have my crafts organized!

The answer to that? Chalkboard bunting!

Ffrog--I have wanted to make a shrug for so long but I wanted one with longer slleves!  Thank you for showing what it would look like...I like it, but for me, I am not sure I can do stripes...I do love the cuffs!

Also, your class projects just made my morning...what an inspiration!

I have also got a calendar on my list...ha ha--it is nearly APril so if I don't get it done soon, it will be put on the bottom for next year!

I  have never heard of hidden owl mitts, but they intrigue me!  I love the little bunny...

j_k--at least you can still use your gouchos somewhere!  Will you posting a pic of them?

[SilverMoon]

They are just owls, made up of two side by side cables. The knit versions seem to be all over Ravelry. I called them the hidden owls because you have to look closely to see the owl the first time, plus I have bad photography skills.

oh--I definitely saw the owls!  I was reading too much into it...I thought it was more than that! ha ha they are so cute and I think I will try a pair!

I like the fingerless gloves.  And I want to know how to do crocheted cables.  Is there a tutorial someplace?

I finished my apron.  That's not the kind of thing that generally photographs well flat, so I'll have somebody take a picture of it on once I'm actually showered.

I had to go back and look at the owls. I  didn't realize they were crocheted cables.  That is really cool.
