How I got to my Blogiversary!

I can't believe it's been one year since my first post (November 14). Lots has happened in the last year. 
 
1. As you may have noticed... I started a Blog (Over 50 posts and still having fun)
2. My husband and I sold our first home
3. We moved to our second home
4. We have had some great summer pool parties
5. I have biked home from work many times (15km/55mins)
6. Coincidentally I leave my first job today.  I will be starting a new job at a new law firm on Monday.
 
Thank you for following my written adventures!  I look forward to entertaining you in the next year and beyond. If you have any ideas or things you would like me to blog about please let me know by a comment below or you can email me at:  courtcreation@live.com.  Also if you would like any more information on anything you see in my blog please get in touch.

Daffodil Wreath

I have been a happy, busy person making lots of daffodils!  They are so cute.
 
My friends and I are getting together on March 23, 2013 to have an evening of crafts and to celebrate Earth Hour.  (Click here if you would like to find out more about Earth Hour.)  We will hang out by candle and use no electricity during the hour.  Last year we had a lot of fun doing this.  This reminds me of the hour we had no power during my wedding... that was interesting.  Thankfully it only lasted an hour and we had lots of candles.  The power came back on and then we were able to continue on dancing!
 
Back to the daffodils... I will be aiming to put all the pieces together on Saturday during our evening of crafts.  I already have around 20 made.  This weekend I should have a beautiful wreath to show you!  I am getting all jumpy inside excited to see how it all looks at the end.  Hopefully you are too.

Nickel for your thoughts?

Any thoughts on what type of boarder I should do?  Or what colour I should use?  Should I stick with the colours that are in the blanket?  Or add others? Use the granny square pattern and just continue that way?  Or do some type of fancy boarder? 
I have not done a boarder before... so if there are any tips/ideas out there for granny square blanket boarders I would love to hear them.

So far I have just done two rounds of single crochet in white.
 
When Matt of According To Matt, made his Glorious Granny Greatness!!!,  that was when I knew I wanted to someday be making a granny square blanket.
I hope mine turns out just as great!
