Crochet Mood Blanket 2014

Since I have really been getting into the whole crochet thing lately, I started following some girls on Instagram who also have the crochet bug. I really enjoy looking at what other people are making to get some inspiration on future projects of mine. One of the girls started this cool idea in which you make a granny square in the color mood you were that day. You could either make one a day or one a week; in the end I chose to make one a day to make a nice blanket for when guests me get too cold. I thought this would be a cool project to do since it is just one a day and being able to look back at the year 2014 in the view of my mood I think will be pretty cool. I first had to decide which colors to put for which moods. Looking at what some of the other girls have chosen did not help as I learned that everyone has a different idea of what color goes with what mood. I decided to go off what mood comes to mind when looking at a certain color. I didn't realize you could have so many different moods from day to day. Or maybe I never paid that much attention to it. Anyways, so far I have made 18 squares and its looking pretty unique. I have found so far that I am pretty relaxed most days or in a good mood which makes me happy. If I were to have started this blanket a month or two ago most days would have been red/angry haha due to my frustration about Brian being gone. I have since moved on from those feelings and am a lot more happy. Although some days I still get that feeling. Only 4 more months. And next month we find out where we are getting stationed so that's something to look forward to. With all that being said I feel like this is good "therapy" for me and I am pretty excited about it!
