Light grey, honeydew, navy and coffee sound beautiful. Good luck on the afghan. Might you post a picture when it's finished?

The shower was great! I ended up getting more large items than I had anticipated, which is wonderful! We got our car seat, stroller, high chair, and activity center plus clothes and baby supplies. If you want, you can eavesdrop on the Expectant Mother's thread here on BYC.

For the colors for the afghan: After putting different combos of colors together, I decided to go with light gray, honeydew (light) green, navy blue, and coffee brown. They look a lot better together than they sound. Plus, I think I've got the pattern picked out I want to use which involves different sizes of granny squares. I've got to finish my Grandmother-in-law's afghan first. I'm about 1/3 of the way done... I think.

YAY!!!! That's fantastic!!!!

Sounds like a success! How exciting!!!!!!

Ooooh I like the sound of those colors for your next afghan. Can't wait to see pics!

I am notorious for not finishing projects.

Queen of Procrastination w/ every aspect of my life.

I really hope to finish all the started crochet projects I have this year. We shall see.

Lol that's my goal too so far so good lol just have a couple big quilts that I know will take forever lol because I'm hand quilting them lol but other than those two I think I'm doin. Pretty well lol

WOW!!!! Hand quilting!!!! I'm jealous!!! I have GOT to take the time to learn that soon!!!! I have to say I'm getting much, much better at finishing projects.

I think it's b/c DD is getting older and more independent and can drive herself around now. Pics please of your quilts.

Everybody I'm still working on my squares steady.

I started a beanie head hugger last night. It's a pattern shared by Jen4.

Ok ladies, everybody have a great day!!!!! I'm off to get my hair did....gotta cover those traitors before they show.

Hi. Can someone give me a pricing idea? I've crocheted some hats and scarves to donate to a fundraiser, but don't know what to ask as a suggested donation. Does $7 (U.S.A.) sound right? Also some dish cloths and trivets, maybe $3.50? I'm not firm on prices and am willing to take less, just need a place to start. Thanks.

I finished the baby blanket I was working on! I am really happy with it.

It was supposed to be unisex-colored but now I am hoping that she has a girl, lol

Bleenie that blanket is gorgeous!!!!!

Alethea I wish I could be of help but I am lousy at that sort of thing. I think it depends a lot on where you are from. I had some for sale at what I thought was a reasonable price but I sold almost none! I then donated them to a charity group which then sold them for twice as much as I had listed them for and the lady said they were a huge hit! Folks were snatching them up left and right! So all I can say is... It depends a lot on your local market.

Oh, I had priced kids' hats at $5 but they sold them at $10, scarves they sold for $15 and baby booties were also $10, if that helps at all.
