Pink Peony

I watch the Martha Stewart Show practically every day.  By the way, I hate her politics, but I love her style.  I'm interested in a lot of the things she is interested in.  Every spring, she starts talking about her peony garden.  It is huge with maybe a couple of hundred peony plants. 

Peonies, like lilacs, are a mystery to me, because we don't have them this far south.  I loved the lilacs when I lived in Iowa and Colorado.  They were magnificent.  There were big, tall, long hedges of lilacs--absolutely beautiful.  The smell was almost overwhelming.

Peonies have huge flowers and many of them are pink.  I decided to start naming my crochet projects.  So instead of calling this afghan a pink and green afghan, I am now calling it my peony baby pink afghan.

Silly huh?  Maybe.  But I am practicing my word pictures.  Some of you that know about peonies, got a picture in your mind didn't you?

Too Girly For a Boy and Too Boyish For a Girl

This is my newest finished project.  This is a large baby blanket made from Caron Simply Soft yarn.  I made it from some yarn that I had left over from another project.  I am crazy about the combination of colors (blue, green and purple).  I am afraid that it will probably stay with me rather than me giving it to someone.  The colors are a little too girly for a boy and a little boyish for a girl.  Oh well, a Nana blanket.

Aggie Afghan

This is an afghan I made for my husband for his birthday. He graduated from A&M so obviously I had to make it in Aggie maroon and white and some grey accents. For this afghan I used Red Heart yarn.
