It's finished!  I'm doing a little happy dance.  I didn't notice till the picture that the lines of the cone are off.  That is the stuffing not my crochet so I can fix it easily.  My husband was teasing me about the progression of projects form "This is a cool idea I can't wait to get started" to "Ug I hate this I can't wait till I get done."  Part of it was I was making four.  If I had only wanted to make one it wouldn't have been so tedious.  Also I'm crazy because I'm already planning to use this pattern again.  I'm going to use the top scoop and modify the cone to make a cupcake for my niece that will be one in July. I do plan to put beads on it for sprinkles but I'm going to sting them on not sew them on so I don't think she could get them off.

I thought I might skip yesterday because I had a lot of errands.  On Thursday I did work on the shawl and it seems to be coming out well even though my gauge is off.  I worked a little on my Trillian in the car yesterday and when I finally got home I finished the pillow. After I finished the pillow I started working on a shawl. I like the patter it's easy and looks much more complicated than it is.  I have to rip it out though because it calls for a US size 9 and those are in the shawl so I tried a 10 and that's just too big.  I was going to listen to podcasts and work on the sleeves today (yuck) but I think I may play WOW.   I told my husband he could cancel my account but he never did.  Tomorrow I'll work on more baby mitts.

I don't remember anything special about podcasts on Thursday.  I did get to watch a few episodes of ... Alice yesterday.  Everything is about to fall apart.  I have been told that everything will work out in the end but there are going to be a lot of tears first.  I think I have four episodes left, so maybe one or two more watching days.

I don't think I have anything else to say.  The weather was beautiful yesterday and I really enjoyed it.  It's time to start supper (crockpots are wonderful things) and that's it.  See you next time.
