I May Need an Intervention...

seriously. I bought way too many afghans. 

My excuses are: 

1. They are so pretty!

2. Someone spent a lot of time, energy, and love making them for somebody and they shouldn't be at the bottom of some barrel in a thrift store. 

3. They are cheap. I usually pay $3 or less. 

4. I am moving somewhere cold and I am going to need a lot of blankets. 

5. Davis loves them.  

All legitimate reasons, right? But I can't buy anymore until I find a place to store them. Unless I see a pretty one at an estate sale...for cheap...I washed seven yesterday and here they are in no particular order of favoritism...

I loved the bright green and pattern on this one!


Brights and scallops? Yes, please!



This one reminded me of "Charlie Brown" and Davis played "Lucy" once so I couldn't pass it up!


 These colors screamed "take me home!"


Way too much work in this one to pass it up!


Hello Chevron! I'll find you a new home where someone appreciates you!


Lonely? I'll take you to a place where you are loved!


See? Way too many....and there are a few more, lol. I think I may be up to 25-30 now. I guess I could collect something worse...like cats...well, nevermind, I have three of those and three I found homes for....
I was thinking last night how ready I am for fall...cool weather, Halloween, and everything that comes with it. Then I realized we barely just started July...ugh...I may not make it through my last summer in this heathole.
Well, it's back to the weekly grind. Holiday weekend is over. (sad face) Davis is home all week but Brian leaves Wednesday for HSN in Florida. He gets back on Friday and then it's time for Davis' birthday party, which I better get to planning. I can throw a party together in a week, right? She has high expectations but we won't be building a Minecraft town out of cardboard boxes, I can tell you that. I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday. This is my last day of talking about afghans, I think.
