I also bought some new clay to make handles for those Susan Bates crochet hooks I had gotten a few weeks back. Using them without an extended type handle hurts my hands. I have a larger than most hand size for a
lady. I get that from my dad, mind you it did come in handy when I worked as a machinist for 8 years in tool and mould trade.
It seems I haven't done that much crochet this week. With my issues going on with my parents, my mind has been pre-occupied. My dad has dimentia and is in hospital now waiting placement for long-term care.
My mother is another issue I won't bore you with. Anyway, my hubby and I have been getting more active and have been going for walks when I get home from work. This has been helping on the stress front. We had a nice walk yesterday. I have been using an app on my phone called Noom Weight Loss coach. I use it to track my exercise and it uses the GPS to log distance calories etc. As well as tread mill walking, which I use at work on breaks. So far this week I burned 800 calories!! Whoohoo.

I even got to stop at the park and enjoy my favourite swing. LOL
The sites of some blooming gardens were nice to see as well.
I also went by Michael's yesterday to get more clay for my hooks and seen these cute
plant pot holders. Super cute, but a little too pricey for me.
As well as some nice florals there.
Anyway, happy Sunday all!!

Nice squares! I just ordered the same book last week and am busy crocheting these squares, too! Liz (www.howling-liz.blogspot.com)
You made the handles for your hooks?!? COOL! They look really neat, and I can imagine, would definitely be more comfortable to work with!
That book is my fave of all time - I can never make up my mind which of the squares I wanna do. LOVE the ones you did
That book is awesome! I had it from the library a while back & couldn't do any of them really. I was too scared I think. Too many new things. Now I think I could handle it again! Your squares are gorgeous & make me determined to try the book out again! Good luck with them all!
Love motifs!!! I like the colors ans shapes of yours ;-)

I really like the squares! Nice job!
I followed you from WIP Wednesdays and here is my WIP: http://likemamalikedaughter.blogspot.com/2012/04/crafting-along-with-needle-and-thread.html
I have had '200 Crochet Blocks' for a couple of months now, and I love it. I've made quite a few of the blocks from it, as well as a couple of other books. Love your color choices~
Lovely! Thanks so much for posting at my Link Party. Hope to see you back again next week. Enjoy your day!
