A Little Something for ME!

Hey from D.C.! We're vacationing here in the nation's capital and though I'd much prefer a beach location or somewhere that someone ELSE cleans up after us and cooks our food, this will have to suffice since we have no other choice. My {adorable} hubby has to do some training here for the entire month and we came along because, well - we could and we wanted to. (don't worry, my darling Kristine is house-sitting for us...so all is well on the home front.)

So we're making the most of things, renting a house, and trying to survive in someone else's world. We've done a lot of sight-seeing already and although it's August here, the weather hasn't been that bad. I must say that groceries over here are expensive. How do people survive?! BUT...the best part is...the Cheesecake Factory is right down the road from me - in this really cool mall! {aaahhh!} So I think I can survive this ordeal.

So now I'm bored because...honestly...you can't go sight-seeing EVERY DAY and we've got a lot of time here. I had to go find a craft store and get myself some yarn. Exciting, huh? Yarn. However, it seems to be the only mess-and-machine-free outlet to my creative juices. I decided that since I'm hard at work gestating a human life, raising children, working on my vacation, and living away from home, there's no reason I can't make myself a little somethin', right?! I've always wanted to make myself my own crochet afghan but there is always something else to do, you know? So this is it - this one is for ME!

The colors are SO yummy - it's going to be adult-sized in stripes of berry, melon, and cream! You can't really see well in this photo, but I'll take better pics when it's done - a long time from now. (Honestly, the yarn selection here was pathetic and this is the best I could find...and I love it so it works for me!)

I hope you're all having a great summer! I'll post more pics of our fun time here when I get home to my own computer.
