Half Granny Square Triangular Shawl

I had started working on my shawl in January, wasn't sure how long I would take to complete it...I completed it today! Oh I'm so happy...
I used a 5.5 mm crochet hookThe variegated color yarn is 6 ply acrylic and the yellow is 4 ply acrylic yarnThe instructions by Ambar E. Rivera helped me make this simple and easy shawl.
I gave it a very simple border of flowers.
A row of single crochets on the longer side of the shawl.
I love it!

All things incomplete........

The urban shells scarf is half done.
The photos of crochet scarfs taken in the past are still on my phone or camera.
There are other crochet items taht still need to be photographed.
The cooking is just routine, daily stuff; havent yet started making special dishes .... I was planning to cook at least one special dish every week.
The colors section of blog hasnt started yet.... I wanted to take photos, capturing all  the amazing colors around us.
So on and on, I have to make time for the things that I want to do. (there are always way too many things that we have to do :-D )

Sometimes I wonder if it would help if our days were longer ?

but that would also mean my one year old would have more waking hours to run around the house, pulling things down to inspect and explore, etc.

Guess, I would end up with the same amount of free time :-)
