Natural Glam

Sure color can be attention grabbing, but I don't think anything can beauty natural beauty! This outfit is simple yet beautiful with neutral colors, makeup, a messy updo and casual statement jewelry. Great for an elegant dinner, summer wedding, or meeting up with the girls for a night out.

What do you prefer, color or neutrals?

Lacy Ripple Crochet Blanket

I have now finished two crochet blankets! Anyone who knows me, knows what an accomplishment this is since I have given myself the title of "The World's Slowest Crocheter!" This Lacy Ripple Crochet is one of my favorite crochet patterns (free version of the pattern here!). It is great for beginners, easy to memorize, and works up quite quickly.

Some specific details on the blanket I crocheted:

-Lion Brand Pound of Love in Antique White
-Hook J
-Initial chain was 233 count

Here are some pictures of the final product:

Close up of the patterns:

The way the pattern is designed, it creates it's own edging:

And of course, it is important for every blanket to be kitty approved!

 Enjoy,
