lapghan #1, half done {for real this time}

So here is the first lapghan, half completed.  The lower half, which is pictured here, is the heart of the Coast Guard emblem, a shield.  I designed the top half a few days back and am ready to get started on that.

Earlier today, my husband handed me a package from Knots of Love!  They're the organization for which I crocheted the ten hats to go to the Veterans.  Knots of Love had a nice lil welcome to the team package and note.  Way cool!
