never enough time

Here is a sample of some of the goodness I acquired a few weeks ago, plus a little more that I picked up today that didn't even make it into the photo.  I've already got a project in the works.  I'll show you soon because the person it is going to celebrated a birthday YESTERDAY, so I must hurry!!
And, if that's not enough...
I am dying to make this:

A baby afghan.  Why?  I don't know.  But, I have always wanted to try this basketweave pattern.  I found a free pattern with great instructions.  And, like I always do...I tried it out first with some leftover yarn I had in the stash by making one of those cotton crochet dishcloths.  I loved it.  So, when yarn was on sale last week I bought 9 skeins of aqua blue and one skein of brown for the trim.  It will match the living room which is currently being overrun with musical instruments and really should be called the music room.  But, that is all for another day.
So, I will put off the laundry and the dusting once again.  I have projects to do.
