I also crocheted some Spa Cloths from a pattern Ellen gave me and gave them in a Market Bag I made from the Sugar'n Cream pattern to my next door neighbor, Charles, for his birthday. I modified the bag to have two straps, one on each side. I used Cream for the Main Color and crocheted a stripe of Shades of Green on the body of the bag. I also failed to take a photo of it before I gave it to him. I should get the camera glued to my hip. And use it. He loved it.
Last Friday I hosted a Bollywood party for some of my friends. We are getting together to watch Indian movies and eat and drink. We're trying to do it on a semi regular basis. It's a lot of fun. We watched Koi... Mil Gaya. If you ever get a chance to see a Bollywood movie, DO IT!! They are a hoot. And the dance numbers are too much. It is the first in a series and we are planning to see the number two,Krrish, next. Jackie made chicken curry, Heather brought hummus and pita and they both brought bottles of wine. I provided bindis. Amanda was sick and couldn't make it, which is a shame because she knows all the movies and tells us back stories about the performers. She has seen tons of Bollywood movies and owns the ones we see. Here is a very blurry photo of Heather and Jackie, wearing their bindis.
I'm cruising along on my Clapotis shawl. My favorite part of the pattern is where she tells you to "eat a croissant". It's coming along very well, but I'm getting a little bored. It may be time to start something else.
I like the color changes and it's so soft!
Bella hid for the party. She is not very sociable yet, but I have hope. Here she is in her new favorite spot -- under my bed.
