flowers, etc. - summer in the boston public garden

Summer is winding down, but in the Boston Public Garden flowers are out in full force. Every few weeks there are changes in the arrangements, but I particularly like the bright colors dominating the flower beds this season. I am so lucky to get to walk through the Garden on my way to work each morning! <3 Boston.

anna crochets - boston love blanket

I read about the Boston Love Blanket on the blog One Sheepish Girl, and knew I had to send in a square! The squares are going to be sewn together to create a blanket for relatives of one of the victims of the Boston bombing.

As some of you know, I've been working on my own flower blanket, so I decided to use some of the flowers I had already made for it in my 8x8 square.

There are so many beautiful flowers out in Boston this week. I snapped a pic of some tulips in the Public Garden that reminded me of my crochet squares:

Happy spring!

anna needlepoints - update 1

Here is an update on my iphone needlepoint case from Connect Design.

It is slow going but definitely getting much easier. I hope to fill in the pattern with a light blue, though right now I am enjoying this bubble gum pink. It is a color I saw in flowers throughout the Boston Public Garden today.

Pink and green is such a beautiful color combination. I need to start wearing it!
