Still here!

I'm still crocheting, just not going online much. While digging through my yarn stash, I found several bags with unfinished projects. One was the target hat. I frogged it, then remade it. I also found the eyes to my Potato head hat, but haven't found the hat. I also need to find the notebook where I was writing the pattern (I have dozens of project notebooks, all in my craft room.), or I will have to frog the eyes, and redo them, too. I usually keep the hook with the project, so don't know why these were bagged separate.
My craft room seems to have turned into a catch-all closet. I've been working on it whenever I have a few minutes, but it needs lots more work. It is the guest room also, and one daughter might be moving back at the beginning of the year, so I need to get it finished before then. My husband bought me a 10' countertop, which will take up one wall. I have a wooden shelf that used to hold bolts of fabric. It is about 5' tall, 4' long, and 2' wide, but it is two-sided, and each side is about 1' deep. One side currently has yarn, and the other side has some of my kids' stuff. I will no longer have room for it, or the 6 1/2' credenza, but will finally have working space.
One of my current projects is an afghan, made from Red Heart Super Saver in Black, and Day Glow. I will need to get more of the Day Glow and Black Light color-ways, because my kids really like them.
Another current project is a pair of adult-size Crocodile Boots from Bonita Patterns, from Vanna's Choice in Raspberry. Someone has requested several pairs, so I bought the pattern and started on a set, so I would know how long it takes. My daughters won't be able to claim these, as I am making them in my size. That is, when I get time. I have the pattern on my iPad, but my granddaughter has games on there, so I work on the afghan when she has the iPad.
