Tuesday's Tallies

Hello,
  Here we are again. It is really fun looking at everyone's Tallies right now. The projects are getting really big, some are done, and some are taking One-A-Day breaks to make Christmas stuff. If you want to see everyone's work then head over to Gingerbreadgirl's blog. She is the moderator for the One-A-Day group and she has a nice blog too.
   I am still plugging away on my two projects. I am working on a whole lot of presents right now too, I have finished three, but still have a few to go. I am also out of the lavender yarn that I need for my Grandala squares. So here is what I have made this week...
  I also put in some work on the Happy Ripple...
 
This is getting really hard to photograph. To put it in perspective, our couch is over 6 ft. long...
  I love this blanket so much, one more picture...
  I love both of these blankets so much, the Grandala is going on our bed. It is so close to being done. I have 230 squares done. Need 58 more. Not too bad. Maybe before Christmas, but probably right after.  Here is my shocker though. I love the Happy Ripple, really love it. I have decided to give it away as a Christmas present. It will be done this week I think. My husband helped me decide. I will tell everyone who I gave it to after the holidays. I love it, but I have an idea for another blanket and I have 5 blankets here in the house already.  It will be hard to part with though.
  Well, that's it for today. I am going to go look at everyone's blogs now. Talk to everyone soon.

  6. Lucky person who gets the happy ripple....it's beautiful and how exciting it's nearly done. I love new blankets, but giving them away is better when someone loves it so much, I reckon it's one of the nicest gifts you can give, so much love gone into making it. Your grandala blanket looks great to, and again not far from th end.

  8. You are all so nice. I will say that the person who is going to get it is in our family and is someone who has spent her whole life looking after all the others in her life. I know she will love it and take care of it and she deserves it. I am kind of excited to see the reaction when it is opened at Christmas.
