I don't really need the glasses....they're a fashion statement.....

Okay, the further I get from the center, the longer it takes to get around! Story of my life! But here's what I'm talking about!


I just love the colors....and next I'll do the boys (red and blue)!



And then I think I'll start the Garden Cat Afghan! I've done one of them too and loved the way it looked!



And now I ask that you out there that pray, please pray for a dear friend of mine. She was blessed not long ago with a life saving Kidney transplant, and is now having heart problems. After making it through the surgury yesterday without any complications, they rushed her into surgery this morning with fear of a blood clot forming around her heart. She has had childhood diabetes for 41 years and it is taking it's starting to effect her organs. She is a wonderful Christian, wife and mother.

And so I begin..........

This is the Girl version of the Spiderman afghan. The photos don't do the colors justice! I may make several of these......

There I go again!

Okay...did that and now...promised MORE

Why can't I learn to only promise ONE thing at a time? I need three baby blankets, two kids afghans and 2 prayer shawls ... that's

.....and I have a new hobby.......






Animal Crossing:City Folk for the Wii....I'm hooked and share it with my Ravelry group Animal Crossing.....

and that's not enough.......then there's



Animal Crossing:Wild World for the DS!

Yep! I've lost my mind, but at least you know why I haven't been blogging!

L8tr!

Okay, girls (and guys), get those needles and hooks flying, there's only.....

Oh, I'm so busy!!!!!!

How busy? I made a template to keep track of my projects!

Holiday Planner
2008

Recipiant Gift Idea Final Gift

Rather simple, it actually is much more colorful and creative than shown here, but this is the main idea.

I have about 40 days to finish my projects and get them wrapped.....should have started sooner!

I have one gift completely done except for boxing and wrapping (and dh does that very well) and I have a hat to finish and then that makes a three piece set done. I have two scarves started and three more to do! So I just guess I won't be blogging much more for a while!

Happy Holidays....nope not from me.....I believe in Jesus Christ.....so it's Merry Christmas!

Oh, it has been forever.......

I only have one thing to say, I have a sixteen year old daughter now and I have a sixteen year old daughter now! LOL!


Actually, she has a driver's license now


and a car,


so I'm not running as much,
I do find myself praying

alot more!



I have been busy knitting and actually crocheting too! I have a dear friend at church, Sarah, who is going to be a first-time grandma, and she is giving a shower in Dec for the baby that is due in Feb.

In the beginning.......



And now.........





I also have been doing some dishcloths. Laura is wanting to take a trip to NYC with the school chorus, and she is selling them as a fundraiser.




I have a cabled scarf, fingerless glove and almost a ear-flapped hat done. (The white blurry picture is out of the book of a which the pattern came!)







I made a hat

for Laura for a

Roaring 20's 'Clue mystery party'

and a shrug cover-up for her Homecoming Dance








(the white one is the picture on the front page of the book I bought with the pattern.)

I still have lots to do, so this won't be a long blog!

I'm making a dark brown cable scarf and will probably make a hat to go with it for my father-in-law. (i'm making a dark maroon one just like it for my brother-in-law).



I made a scarf on the same pattern, with a smaller needle for my mother-in-law. I love the colors of this! Have the scarf done, but have to still do the hat! This is a free pattern you can find here.(The last two pictures are from the internet pattern page.)




As I mentioned above, my daughter is raising money for a trip to NYC, so I'm going to donate a baby blanket for a raffle to earn some money. The yellow one is the one I'm making and the pink one is the picture from the book with the pattern.




Boy, as I downloaded all this, I realized I've been VERY busy!


I also found this on you-tube:

I couldn't help myself.....

Okay, it's been quite awhile.....well, it's been awhile since I added books to my knitting/crochet library and I just couldn't help myself!
I hate the name of these books, but the patterns are easy to follow--probably because they are slanted toward a younger group, and I have several nieces and nephews that would love some of these!

And I have that second sock syndrome....the first one gets done and the second one dies on the needles.........well, this book should take care of that!

So today I head to the LYS (local yarn store) to pick out some yarn for 'Christmas presents'....yes you saw that here and it's not even June yet.......

So, I'm off................(ueah, yeah, in more ways than one!)
