Crochet crazy

I have to say, ever since I picket up the crochet hook again, I've gone a little crochet crazy. It's all I can think about! My new thing I love right now is Amigurumi! Love it. It's cute little stuffed crocheted animals. Did I mention they are cute? I'm working on a little lamb right now. I have no idea what I will do with them (?) but who cares. Next up is this cute little bunny, which will be right in time for Easter!
So, also I stumbled upon another thing by accident that I had to make. The pattern calls for stitch markers, which I did not have. So, over to Joann's I went and bought some with my 40% coupon. Two things annoyed me about that purchase. #1 I bought them and while waiting for Jan to checkout I was looking at the magazines and attached to one of the knitting mags were free stitch markers! Cute ones with little hanging beads! So, I realized they would be super easy to make! And so had to make some. Now I have lots of stitch markers. Then, and this is probably the worst - I had a gift card in my purse for Joann's!!!! Bah. I didn't even remember until this morning! And, I had specifically gone in thinking "I have a gift card to use". Oh well. I'll try and remember next time and use it one something super fabulous!
In my flower bed I noticed yesterday that my tulips and daffodils are just starting to come back up. Spring is so hopeful, isn't it? Even though it's still FREEZING cold and snow flurries still coming down ~ Spring is going to come and bring beauty with it. It happens every year, and so far it still amazes me. I hope it always does.
