crocheted baby blanket.

my first ever crocheted baby blanket i think it came out alright.

it took about two weeks of on and off crocheting ..

and i made the hat and little mittens in a couple of hours.

right now i'm working on crocheted pinafore dress for manuel's little cousin.

and we also picked up some really cheap patterns at joann's today can't wait to figure out that one and maybe break another needle on my sewing machine.

fred and ginger.

i've been watching a bunch and fred astaire movies lately

and falling in love with each viewing particularly the ones with Ginger Rogers.

i first saw fred in Funny Face and i thought he had a bulbous head. which i still think he does. but i watched quite a few of his films with ginger and absolutely fell in love. i just wanna be scooped up and danced into a dream. Ginger rogers was so beautiful. and someone said something during the time they were making the 10 films together that "fred gives ginger class and ginger gives fred sex (appeal)"and i couldn't agree more. just because you see this beautiful women pining for this funny looking man. it's the dancing and the way they look into eachothers eyes.

if you've never seen any of the films just watch one... probably anyone of the ten and you will be hooked.

shall we dance and the gay divorcee are probably my top ones right now..

but all the story lines blur a little after watching all of them in a row.
