Too much of a good thing?

Ack, I got my yarn etc. order from Joann's (ordered online). Where am I going to PUT it all???? Eeeeek! Boy, those Caron One Pounders are BIG! And six skeins of Lion Brand Homespun Boston Rose (for a cape and matching hat). And more!

PLUS (woooohooo!) I got the Boye CrochetMaster set of hooks (16 steel hooks and 8 aluminum hooks (in various colours--NOT all blue) in a nice zip carrycase). I also got a color-wheel thingee with a very detailed booklet about matching and coordinating colours.

AND! I got most of my amazon.com order: all four Shanti Shanti CDs plus Andrea Bocelli's newest and an old Don McLean album, which includes the very weird, wacky and wonderful "On The Amazon". And three crochet books. Yeehaw!

Crochet projects

So I finished my narrow purple Fun Fur scarf. The one Cat'r saw me making and exclaimed, "My god, woman, will it never end?!? First Elmo, now Grover!" Heh.

Next I need to finish the purple poncho I am making.

THEN on to the Road To Romance cape and matching cloche! I thought I was doing that in the Boston Rose...but I think instead I am going to do it in Homespun Baroque (lavender-ish). I sure have a thing for purple, don't I? :-P

I also need to do a hat and matching scarf (pink trimmed in aquas etc. eyelash yarn) to match my spring coat; also a Round the Capelet and matching openwork cloche and maybe matching mesh wristlets in a pale lavender.

I gotta get stuff done for Easter, covering all the bases, since one never knows *what* kind of weather we're going to have for then in our neck of the woods!

My one nagging doubt...do I have shoes that'll work for Easter? Or are all my shoes dark? Or sandals? Eep.
