but it was near Hillsboro, Ohio. (Brown or Highland Co?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This starry block is sometimes called "Milky Way". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are from the southwest corner of Ohio and have more info, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
please let me know.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the St Paddy's warm-up parade yesterday to watch these talented kids:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Irish dance school that my daughter danced with for many years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The big St Pat's parade will be downtown tomorrow, but I'll be at work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know, I love Irish music and dance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and have taken a few ceili classes myself, because it's so fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I gave you reason <a href="http://patchofzinnias.blogspot.com/2014/02/garden-of-daisies.html">number one</a> (of three) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for naming my blog "Garden Of Daisies".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, here is reason number two: It's the name of a favorite traditional Irish set dance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm including a video of that dance, found online.<br />
Be sure to wear green tomorrow and enjoy watching Garden Of Daisies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(You can watch them all, or just skip ahead to 7:55 for Garden of Daisies)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With so many cute and unique fabrics available,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know why anyone would buy a generic blanket from a store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are soooo easy to make. <br />
Wash and dry the fabrics to pre-shrink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just cut (2) a generous square or rectangle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Size might depend on the width of the two fabrics you are using.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With right sides together, sew all the way around, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leaving a small hole (about the size of your hand) to turn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn right side out and use a decorative top stitch close to the edge to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
give it a finished look and close up the hole.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Done. </div>

I can finally reveal the ripple baby afghan I made</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to give to my daughter at the baby shower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the first time I've made a ripple </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm delighted with how well it turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn in 7 colors:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peapod, Mint Charm, Baby Blue, Infant Teal, Surf Baby, Sunkisses, and Angel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a 6/G/4.25mm hook.<br />
<br />
I made ripples (hills and valleys) with sets of 14 stitches.<br />
My initial chain was 14 sets of 14, plus 2.<br />
It's 80 rows long.<br />
And has a row of single crochet all around the edges to finish it off.<br />
<br />
I found inspiration for the interlocking ripple design at Lucy's <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/2012/12/interlocking-ripple-ta-dah.html">Attic24</a>.<br />
And I learned how to crochet the ripple with Mikey at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1AmNif_gYQ">The Crochet Crowd</a>.<br />
He's a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend his youtube videos.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm making star garland to hang at one of the baby showers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut stars in two sizes from white, blue, green, yellow and silver card stock </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then sewed them into a long chain on the machine with a large stitch length (4). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I doubled the large stars and gently folded them on the stitch line </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make the garland three dimensional.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll tie the thread tails to paperclips for ease in hanging.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've shared this <a href="http://patchofzinnias.blogspot.com/2010/01/embroidered-tea-towels-and-pillowcases.html">before</a>, but newer followers may not know </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
why I use this as my profile picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's from a prized set of tea towels, made for me by my Grandma.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved to embroider. When I was little girl </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she asked me to pick the embroidery pattern I loved most, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and said she would stitch up a set of towels for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked this one: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a cute Little Miss working on her weekly chores in a garden of daisies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is what she made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UEM15OUCRFWkOrjOk2ETgdbHlLs4IX2MNnWBmw-qljfrzk1YmMGtmz2CSLpnrQ9lyww-QxnZ00lXXUC8Orb6sKiSLpksTrlrWfZriuAVENMBj_3ckWfFgGv74-9zCjt_uR_lrZDr6Mtx/s1600/g.o.d.pic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UEM15OUCRFWkOrjOk2ETgdbHlLs4IX2MNnWBmw-qljfrzk1YmMGtmz2CSLpnrQ9lyww-QxnZ00lXXUC8Orb6sKiSLpksTrlrWfZriuAVENMBj_3ckWfFgGv74-9zCjt_uR_lrZDr6Mtx/s1600/g.o.d.pic2.jpg" height="450" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These treasured linens from my Grandma are displayed in my kitchen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and are a visible reminder of how much she loved me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they're also one reason why I picked the name Garden Of Daisies for my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll have to save the other two reasons for a future post.</div>

My daughter asked if I would make her a baby ribbon blanket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's a quick and easy project!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a 10 inch square of flannel, soft minky cloth for the reverse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and several coordinating ribbons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arrange all your loops on the right side of the flannel square.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(loop of ribbons facing in towards the center)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pin then machine baste in place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove all pins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing worse than giving something to a baby with a pin left in it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew Minky cloth to flannel square, right sides together ,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leaving a small opening for turning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Keep all those ribbons in towards the center as you sew.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trim away corners and any excess ribbon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn, right side out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I use a pin to help make nice neat corners .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Top stitch close to the edge to close up the turning hole.</div>

Who remembers Kiddle Kologne?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Apple Blossom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's missing some of her pink hair ribbons, but she's still in pretty good vintage shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had one when I was a kid, so I did the happy dance when I found her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a Lily of the Valley Kiddle Kologne, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I think my sister(s) had Honeysuckle and Violet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How many of these sweetly scented Kiddles were there, anyway? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apple Blossom, Lily of the Valley, Honeysuckle,Violet, Sweet Pea, ...???? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you help me remember all of their names?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have such wonderful memories of fun play with these tiny dollies.</div>

The baby shower is just a couple of weeks away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually, there are two of them. Showers, not babies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very lucky Little One to have so many people celebrating along with us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm using all the spare time I can find to finish up my projects and get ready for company. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can't show too much yet, in case she looks here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this one little thing won't matter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A simple, yellow, crocheted basket to hold odds and ends in the nursery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(baby nail clippers, thermometer, diaper pins etc...)<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Lily, Sugar and Cream cotton yarn in Vanilla Cream and White. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's about 5.5" across and 2.25" high, after it was folded down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(But you could keep adding rings to make the basket any size that suited you.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottom is a simple chain 4 slipstitched into a ring, with 8 singles in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then put two singles in each stitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, single crochet in one stitch and two single crochets in the next. Repeat for that round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then two singles in every third stitch,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then two singles in every fourth stitch,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Switch to all singles when you are ready to build up the sides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add any border you like to finish it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
