Thank all of you...Difficult builds character..right? Maybe that's why I'm such a character...usually manage to make everything difficult..lol. For those interested in the crocheted afghan here is a better picture with Jackson(the real owner)...the black one hanging on the wall took me 3 years to crochet and cross stitch..pattern was from an ancient book of my mothers...the valances were crocheted from a pattern for pillowcases.
