Dear Diary Some, but not all of the things I have made this past year.

My design. Gift for one of Ed's daughters. Made one is sage green for another daughter of his..
Need to take a picture of it. McLaughlin is her last name.
Baby carrier blanket for those cool days in the car. Forget what pattern this is.
My design. ABC's Baby afghan
My design. Teddy Bear baby afghan
Another.
 
Finishing up one for a baby girl as a shower gift.
 
 
My design. Toddler ABC's afghan Won a Blue Ribbon for this design at the Topsfield Fair some six or more years back.
 
 5 hour baby sweater. Used 2 different yarns held together.  Added a hood. Gift for shower. No date yet. (Good, more stuff to make):0)
Sweater for Mia
 
I have Ed's spare bedroom full of my yarn, needles,etc. patterns, finished projects.
Need to organize it, but that leaves less time for creating. :0(
 
My hands are itching to finish the latest Teddy Bear afghan and get on to the other stuff I want to make as gifts.
Pictures to follow if I remember. Some days CRS!
I'd rather make things as gifts instead of getting paid to make something. Too many hours to figure out a price and the cost of yarn and buttons and stuff these days are out of sight. I shit you not!

That's All Folks!

Dear Diary A QUICKIE!

Time ...all I need is more hours in my day. ISYN!
Between spending most of my time at Ed's whether it be in the motorhome at a campground 52 miles away from his house ( Fri, Sat and Sun ) one direction  and some hours at my house 24 miles one way another direction and Mon thru Thurs at Ed's doing all the things to make a home a home, food shopping, knitting, crocheting, cooking, laundry, computer time , well you got the picture.

For those that have followed my blog, I'm happy to report that Gil is still not using heroin and is working at a sort of relatives restaurant many hours. He is also back living at his dad's house.

There are others that I could write about, but at this time.....I have no time.
Maybe another time.


The 12 year old Chihuahua that Ed and I took from his son that was going to put her down is still with us. Oreo's teeth are very bad, but she learned to eat and like Moist and Meaty dog food FINALLY. :0)  His son only put down cat food for his cat and her. :0(

Minnie (Almost kept her too, but one pup at my age was enough. )
Lilly
Lexi
 
Those are the names given to them by their owners
 
Mia
\The blanket I was crocheting looked good enough for a bed. ;0) Try crocheting with a dog on the piece you are working on.
Trying on the sweater I made her.
Finished project.
 
 
Finished  crib blanket/baby afghan that I designed. Making another now for a shower gift for a baby girl. Could have changed the border, and bow, but I really enjoy making things. ACMoore loves to see me come in. Yarn, yarn and more yarn. ;0)
My hands are itching to finish one right now.....ISYN!
 
(((hugs)))
 
That's All Folks!  ( for this time)
