			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Took another quick cleaning break&#8230;I just need to organize the pile beside my chair in the living room.  I was using a Christmas tree basket but I think it&#8217;s time to move into spring so I found some stackable boxes with teapots.  Maybe I can use them as holding bins.  I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s some organizational guru out there who could tell me exactly how to handle this but I like figuring out a system on my own.</p>
<p>I went looking for a crochet pattern for chair pads.  I have wooden country looking kitchen chairs that I refinished some time ago.  I painted the legs and left the tops natural wood.  They could use another coat of paint and I had chair pads but seem to have lost one of the set of four.  It occurred to me that crocheting pads would be pretty easy.  I&#8217;m working on a tea cozy right now.  I&#8217;m making it in a neutral cotton just to see how it works out and then I&#8217;m going to make one  for a friend.  I discovered that <a href="http://www.crochet.org/" target="_blank">March is National Crochet Month</a>.</p>
<p>I have been crocheting up a storm for myself and mostly for charity.  So, now I&#8217;ll crochet happy knowing that I&#8217;m joining lots of other people.  I find crocheting to be the perfect relaxing pass time.  I tune into FoodTV or something on PBS and just let the pattern unfold.  So, Have a Happy National Crochet Month!</p>
<p>I was in the midst of writing when I got the call from our weekend visitors.  Stuck on 95 so we&#8217;ll meet tomorrow morning.  I&#8217;m going grocery shopping then.  But first a visit to the store website to enter my grocery list.  Then it organizes everything by aisle.  What a great use of the web!</p>
