"Blanket" Stitch Afghan

This is a super easy pattern for crocheting an afghan.  It takes all of three stitches.  1 single crochet and 2 double crochet.

For this type of afghan, a J/10 hook should be used

Here's the one I'm currently working on in Turquoise and Lavender

I've never crochted anything "complex" so I've decided to make a frog for my cousin...

Today has been an exciting, yet rough day.  We decided to start potty training Hadley as well as moving her to a toddler bed.  So far, she's used the potty twice today and the toddler bed has been better than I anticipated.  I know that the next few days are going to be rough ones, but I remain optimistic.

I've been a stay-at-home mom since the middle of December.  Aside from the earning money part, it's been the best time of my life.  I've been able to spend every day with my incredible daughter, Hadley.  While at times, a break would be nice, knowing that I start back to the working world in June is bittersweet.  My husband is going on summer vacation on May 4th, a month exactly after, I start my new job.  It would be so great if small people were allowed at work with you...

I just remembered that I forgot to share the tutorial that I used for the purse that I made.
