belated ta-dah

Ohayo  from Sapporo, or just good morning!
I'm so amazed we're here and you can read more about my adventures on our travel blog: www.springinsapporo.blogspot.com
Since I'm writing a second blog, I doubt there is much time or subject matter for this little crafty, cooking, gardening, "lifestyle" blog. 
What I'm getting at: a small 3 month hiatus. 
Before that though, let me share what I was up to those last hectic 2 weeks before we left!


Spring had sprung!


Family dinners of bacon topped pork tenderloin roasted on carrots and onions. Yum!
Dessert was creme brulee. Yummer!
 

Enjoying my orchid before we left.


Chasing this muffin down who has learned to stand on her own so quickly!
 

That hair!
 

 We miss this guy a whole lot.


And this naughty kitty.
Oh wait, what's she on?
I finished my blanket before we left!
 

TA-DAH!
 

80 squares, 8x10 rows, a thick border.
I didn't measure it but it's spread out on our queen size bed if that gives you an idea.
 

The border is just hdc around.
 


I tried fitting it in the frame (too lazy to switch lenses) by putting it on the floor and standing on the couch. Muffin didn't get it. But at least you can see how big it is in comparison to her!
 





the back.
 


I'm super in love and it turned out better than I could have hoped for.
I can't wait to use it next fall and winter snuggled on the couch. :)

And now I can start my white border sunshine starburst here!

I hope you'll check out our other blog linked above.
Have a great spring!
