Violets Blooming

I have two more violets blooming for the first time since I have had them. I love it when my violets bloom, but it really special when it's the first time.

This is a pic of Aca's Curious George in bloom.




This is Rosie Ruffles. Such a beautiful bloom!





There's not much else happening on the AV front. The rest of my plants are doing fine.
My Episicas are really growing. I have them in a mini greenhouse. I think that's what they are called, basically it's a plant shelf that has a plastic zippered cover. It really helps with the humidity and my Episicas love it!

I love Streps, but for some reason they seem to be more of a challenge for me than the African Violets or Episicas. I lost most of what I had over the winter, got a few new ones, tired wicking them and some are doing great and others are falling by the roadside. It's so frustrating! Arrruuuugggggghhhhhh!!!

Happy Av'ing!

Thanks Secret Pal!

Yesterday I received a package from my C'ville Secret Pal.

Thanks Secret Pal!


She sent me two Knitting Magazines. These are great I found several things in each magazine that I want to knit. A book on plant propagation. Cool, I learned some things I did not know from just skimming through it last night. Can't wait to read it through.


My SP also sent a big handful of tear off patterns. And of course I want to make all of those as well. LOL! Don't know when I will ever find the time to make all the items I want to make,but it's fun just thinking about it.

Here's a pic of my loot!





Once again Thanks Secret Pal!

Crochetville Summer Secret Pal Swap!!

The Summer Secret Pal Swap at Crochetville has begun. I received my Known Secret Pal yesterday and also heard from my Unknown Secret Pal yesterday.

My unknown Secret Pal sent me the cutest e-card. Thanks, Secret Pal!

I am looking forward to this round of the Secret Pal Swap.

Happy Crocheting!

Rectangle Granny Afghan

I finally completed the Rectangle Granny Afghan.

I made this afghan for my boyfriend. He seems quite pleased with it. Now he's asking for another one! LOL!

I have been working on 12" squares for exchanges and knitting on a couple of dishcloths. One for an exchange. I did join a purse exchange on the At My House yahoo group. I plan on starting on that as soon as I get the exchange squares completed.

As always I have been working with my plants. I received some trade plants and leaves in the mail yesterday. I have leaves to pot up today so I'm off to do just that.

Happy Crocheting, and AVing!

Dishcloth Delights!

Today I received my dishcloth / scrubby package from my partner at the Texas Two Stitch forum.

I love everything in it! Thanks Sonia!

Nice big dishcloths and several tear off purse patterns (one can never have toom any purses, ya know!) and one cute flower rug that I think I may make for a little girl I know.

I am almost finished with the Rectangular Granny Afghan, I hope to finsih it tonight unless my boyfirend decides he wants it a little larger. Frankly, I'm hoping he's happy with the size, so all I have to do is put an edge on it ande done with it. I'm sick of looking at it! LOL!

I wonder how many other crocheters or knitters get sick of the bigger projects before they are done with them. I know I sure did with this one and I didn't even work on it everyday.

Regarding my plant addiction. LOL! I got three new Episicas today.

Hartford Renick
Chocolate 'n' Cherries
Grey Lady

One is bigger than other two are smaller, but they all look healthy and they will grow.

I also got one African Violet, a wasp named Neverland Dreams.

Happy Crocheting, Knitting and AVing.
