    Hello and welcome Justcrochet. Congrats on the new puppy! Just got a new one in our household as well. I also enjoy crocheting - what kind of top are you making?

    rosa, Isn't it great when that happens. It's like magic...you go in an area and it is cleared...and you didn't do it! My Husband did that to a very overgrown flower bed that I was dreading...he trimmed it all the way to the ground and within a week it is covered with lilies of the valley!!! I have been thrwarting them for years, but do love them! So we'll see what happens to that bed as the spring and summer move along.

    aw that’s nice! And I wish I had big bed of Lily of the Valley. I have little bitty struggling Starts that we’ve inherited on this property

    I hired a house cleaner since our entire first floor construction is finished. This week DH finished the TV room so now it’s all done. Next year he’ll finish the two upstairs bedrooms.

    Anyway, our house gets pretty dirty during spring summer and early fall from tramping garden dirt in and out, shedding pets, etc. So with her coming every two weeks, I know at least the floors and bathrooms are cleaned that often at minimum.

    I've been crocheting since I was 12, so I do just about anything. LOL. Last couple of items were actually baby outfits for shower gifts. Also like to stuff for around the house lately - coasters, cotton hanging towels, etc. With the new puppy, I'll probably do a sweater, but I have until the fall for that. LOL.

    Knit cardigan April's Finish it project done
    May's Finish it project Cardigan
    Spring cleaning the guest bedroom done
    Sort/repair/donate/put away Winter clothing 80% done
    Prepare the Spider quilt for quilting in progress
    Coordinate summer plans with sisters resolved
    Work on a new house chore schedule in progress

    Welcome, justcrochet, I would also like to see photos of the puppy and your crochet.

    Things have been busy, won't be able to finish the cardigan in the next two days, so I'll make it the May Finish It! project. April's is a pair of slippers I finished during a company team building retreat.

    Winter clothing is gone over, donated, repaired, and put away. Need husband's help to pack away the duvet so that will be on the weekend, he's too tired after getting home.

    No progress on the spider quilt, I ordered the backing fabric online and ordered 5 yards and they sent 4 yards. The place I bought it from went under so can't do much about it now. Lesson here is always check when it arrives. Can use it for a different project, and will reorder more fabric soon.

    Parents say they don't need babysitters and they will be fine when we go on vacation. Though they won't object to a grand kid visit. Compromise is that middle sister will be CC'd and emergency back up if I can't be reached.

    Finalizing some new chore arrangements since husband has to go back to the new office and his commute is 45 minutes longer compared to his pre pandemic commute.
