Early Anniversary Present

Our second anniversary is coming up so Brant and I are obviously makes plans to go do something. Well, on Friday, Brant said he was going to make me dinner and that he had a big surprise for me. I was totally clueless as to what the surprise was. I didn't really have any guesses either. Brant went crazy over the fact I wasn't guessing.

Well, when I got home from work, Brant was finishing preparations for dinner. We had fettucine already with chicken, salad and Martinelli's Sparkling Cider. It was SO good. I swear, I want Brant to move to day shifts and do all of our cooking. He's so much better at it than I am.

Now for my surprise: I got to see my surprise when I got home because I had to go upstairs and change out of work clothes. I walked into our bedroom and this is what I saw...

Can I say that I absolutely LOVE my new bedspread!? I've been watching to see if the price would go down at all on this set. Well, Brant said he'd been saving a little at a time to get it for me. It is SO much better than the coverlett we bought when we got married. Now all I have to do is save up for the throw pillows. Yes, the throw pillows. They look really nice. Oh and we need King pillows, lol. That's why the shams look half-filled.
He's the best husband. He notices things I like, helps me with work around the house, makes me dinner and so much more. Love you sweetie!!

Crocheted bags!

So I've been working for some time on developing a crocheted bag that is colorful, simple in design and looks great. Well, I came up with one based around granny squares. I made one for myself (not lined - The green and brown one), then a larger one (blue and brown - with lining) and then one for a friend of mine (pink - will be a diaper bag). I'm currently working on my fourth. It's been a pretty long process. So far, each bag is taking about two weeks to make. I really like how they have turned out though:

The fourth one I'm making is made of the same pinks and brown as the bag shown above as well as a pastel limey green. I LOVE it. I can't wait til I'm finished.
