This week I made these super awesome cinnamon rolls.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Next time I won't expect to eat them before lunch or get up super early to make them.

It took way longer then I expected.

I can now see why they are so expensive when you buy them at Cinnabon.

They where a BIG hit with hubby and Ashley.

I've managed to redo 4 of the 6 sections I did wrong on my knitted blanket project.

The green section I just finished with seems like it took forever.

Maybe longer.

But it was the biggest piece. 

So hopefully the next 2 will go a bit faster.

Then I can started on the rest of the pieces.

I guess I shouldn't be in such a rush.

It's suppose to be fun and relaxing right?

But darn it I want to see the finished results.

Oh and buy more yarn...

This week I whipped out a blanket for Natalie.

What I used:

Size Q crochet hook.

7 skeins Bernat Baby Blanket: White

5 1/4 skeins Bernat Pipsqueak: Pixie Pow

I kept the wrappers this time so I would know for sure how many I used.
I held the two different strands together while crocheting.
There's probably a technical term for it, but I have no idea.
This being my second crochet project... 

Here she is giving it her cuddle of approval.

My daughter Ashley has put in her request for a cuddly blanket.

So I picked up some white & pink yarns for her blanket today.

I told her it wouldn't be done next week.

I'm still working on the knitted blanket I started HERE.

I'm on the 4th section.

I try and do a bit on it everyday....

I also tell myself it won't be done in a day or two.

Even though I wish it where.

But then I'd just have to start something else.

Slow but steady..

I know I said I wouldn't start another project until I finished my Knitted blanket,

but what can I say..

The yarn was calling to me.

I pinned a couple of thick crocheted blankets and had to make one for Lexie.

I crocheted it with two different yarns.

One really thick and soft (9 skeins) and the other one small and full of fibers (6 skeins).

I doubled these up.

I used a Q hook.

I only allowed myself to crochet one skein of yarn a day.

I did take it on a road trip and I was able to do 3 skeins that day.

So it took about a week to make. 

It turned out super cuddly and as you can see Lexie loves it.

Natalie was already asking where her's was.

So I'll have to whip her one up this week.

As for my knitted blanket I've finished 3 sections....

Slow but steady...
