Current Project...tablecloth

My husband and son found an interesting and inventive way to use my current project, my tablecloth for ME. He looks like he's going to his first communion or something---and that he's not a he but a she, LOL!!!

The pattern is not online, as far as I know. But if you feel ambitious enough to go alookin' for it...it's the Oval Pineapple Tablecloth from the March-April issue of Annie's Crochet Newsletter. I think I bought this one from a yard sale.

So far, it's the white you see here, but if I run out of that before I finish it, it's going to also be some Bridal Blue I have left over from some curtains I was making a long time ago. I only ever finished one panel, which is currently hanging in my kitchen window---it ended up being just about big enough. I stopped making them in part because I bought the balls at different times, so the color was noticably off. Well, as long as it's not right up against each other, I think it's okay :-)

What's really funny is we just got a new table from a friend whose mother-in-law was getting rid of hers. It's just like the one we do have, only the leaf in the middle is removable---the one we have in the kitchen is glued in---and it's got a nearly matching set of wood chairs, where as we've been using the red chairs we've had since our second kitchen table. :-) Those need work, as there are spots out ofthem. I tried to cover them with contact paper but that's a bit of a disaster. Oh well, I'm going to put them on freecycle for anyone what wants to take them and fix them up :-) Maybe I'll make something nice for the wood chairs too :-)

I also made myself a nice shawl with some Rainbow Boucle. I'll post that next...post :-)
