Ebay, Weather and Crocheting

     We've been busy over the past several days. Several nights ago I was up with the kids until nearly 11pm going through their last years winter clothing with them. They have outgrown a lot of their clothing and so I put all of their winter clothing in lots on Ebay to try and make a little money to put towards the clothing I will need to get for them this winter. There clothing isn't cheap as they get older. So far all three winter lots have had their first bid, so it can only get better from here.

     The weather here is in between fall and summer and it cannot decide which way to go yet. The last few days the highs were in the 60s and this week the highs are in the high 80's or low 90's. It makes it difficult when you only have so much room for clothing inside the RV and you need to store off-season clothing in the storage outside in the storage areas below. Hopefully we will switch to fall-like weather soon.

     So, we have decided how we want to do our queen sized crocheted blanket. We have chosen the yarn and we have decided that it will be single crocheted instead of double crocheted. It will take a lot longer then a double crocheted blanket, but it will be thicker and warmer. We will have to get the yarn a few skeins at a time from JoAnn's because we cannot afford all the yarn needed at once. Good thing their is a JoAnn's here and in NorCal.

     Well, I better get off here for now. I need to get started homeschooling and working on the laundry for the day.
