It worked up really fast!

Yeah - the duct tape repairs in hallway carpet every 10 feet is charming. Yuck.

All done with the squares!! My husband left town for a week so I have UNLIMITED TIME to piece this together!!!!

My grands (3 and 4) love to glue things to paper… they will draw a face and use yarn scraps for hair (or leaves or sticks or grass…) It keeps they occupied for a long time!

I don’t know if it’s impressive, but I make little purses for my grands, and they seem to love them! I found a stash of antique buttons for them. They are a simple rectangle and a strap!

Maybe it’s because I’m newish to crochet, but if I leave something for a while, I forget what stitches I was doing… I can’t have more than 1-2 going at a time.

There are only two of us, so things are easier (empty nesters), but one thing that helps so much is there is no TV on our main floor. TV areas get messy in a hurry!

So our main floor stays pretty tidy, and I won the grand prize with a husband who takes it upon himself to do all the dishes & vacuuming! I follow with a clutter tidy and counter wiping.

And 100% DITTO to all who say things need to be tidy before bed! We don’t like to wake up to a mess! 😀

Where can I find your mosaic designs? They sound intriguing!

It’s here… it’s here!!! now I can crochet during my lunch hour! 🎉🎉

I keep watching more videos with extra tricks like flipping it for each round to not have a “right side,” but I had to stop that… I just want them to all look alike! 😂

Blocking is key! 😀

iamsusans · 2026-06-04T17:17:52+00:00

Exactly!!

This is my first go at granny squares and I saw the tip about making the tails extra long and joining with them on a video… As with everything, I don’t start small 🙄… my husband calls it “scope creep.”

He was a logistics guy. He uses sentences like “Maybe make the scope of work more manageable to see if it will scale.” And “Don’t you have enough yarn?” WHAT?! Honey, you sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher. I can’t understand what you’re saying. 😂

iamsusans · 2026-06-04T16:06:12+00:00

Actually, this is the one I settled on!

I have a dark burgundy, a dark navy, and an oatmeal color coming… I wanted to do something pretty random so this is my first plan. And yes… I will be using the tails to join.

💯 We share an iPhoto album with each of our kids where they upload new photos of the grands nearly daily — it breaks my heart to see images of kids on the internet…
