We are trying to catch up with the one-a-day challenge.  Wendi and I have been crocheting like crazy!  This weekend my husband and I are taking a break.  They have great winter rates at the beach so we are going Friday and coming back on Sunday.  It is supposed to be almost 60 degrees and sunny the whole time.  All I really care about is a hot tub.

Follow me onto dishcloth #24 and the rest of the story…
