This is the first time I’ve ever made lace, and I found it quite addicting. This pattern is “Droplets Trim” from The Crochet Stitch Bible (Thank you awesome Tulsa library!). I’m thinking it would make a lovely trim on Emily’s Easter dress. Although I haven’t planned any other part of it yet. This will be my inspiration. I’m thinking a little knit jacket in gray and some pale pink cotton fabric for the dress. Hmm…

In other news, our little family is fairly obsessed with the Oscars. I planned to work on some crafty project while watching them this year, but it is hard to focus on two obsessions at once. We had a little party with some friends, ate lots of popcorn and dry brownies (which were still quite good), and called out our predictions throughout the show. At the end, we tallied our correct guesses. Evan, of course, won. What was surprising was that none of us guessed right on Best Supporting Actress… And I believe we all cast different votes. I fell asleep during Michael Clayton (which I blame on being a pregnant beached whale), and never saw Tilda Swinton’s apparently fantastic performance.

I have to tell you that had I not gone with my heart on Best Picture, I would have guessed correctly (and tied with Evan for the win!). I just couldn’t bare to see another bleak film win. So I held out hope in the underdog, Juno. I knew it was a lost cause. But I sure hope it’s remembered, and I’m darn glad that Diablo Cody got an Oscar.
