WIP Wenseday

Earlier this week I came along this new pattern. The wool-eater, so I decided to join the Wool-eater 2012 CAL
http://sarahlondon.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/wool-eater-cal-2012/. I  wanted to do the oblong one originally but for some reason it wasn't working for me so I switched to the square, and it's coming along just fine. It's never to late to join.  Have a wonderful day.

Project finished

Well I finished my latest baby blanket. Just in time also, my little great niece Mykenna arrived early on February 17th. She weighed in at a whopping 4lb. 9.5oz. I did say little. I haven't been able to go see her yet. I am hoping this weekend.
I can't wait to meet her..

What a surprise!

I was away for a couple days and when I get back I find a big surprise. Not 1 but 2 awards. I'm a little tickled because I am so new to this blogging thing. But Thank You  to  Dorothy from Hooks 'n Grannies and to Little Orphan Skein for the Award.

Now here are the rules, and what I have to do.
1.Add the award to your blog.
2.Thank the blogger(s) who gave it to you.
3.Mention 7 random things about yourself.
4.List the rules.
5.Award to 15 bloggers.
6.Inform each of the 15 by leaving a comment on their blog.

7 Things about me...

1. I am almost 5 foot tall.. being short is not one of my favorite things.

2.I live in SW Minnesota, and we have had very little snow this year. Yeah

3.I Love thrift shops  and garage sales.

4.I like to go play bingo on Thursday nights.

5.I want to learn to make the little crochet critters. Amigurumi,  think my grandchildren would love them.

6.One of my favorite web sites is www.crochetpatterncentral.com  If you haven't been there check it out lots of good things.

7.I love to read and I got a Nook tablet for Christmas.

My biggest  challenge will be the finding 15 people to pass the award to so if I give to someone who has already been selected sorry and I don't know if you would have to pass this on or not.

Sorry guys I wish I knew how to create links the other way. Like I said I am very new and slowly catching on  how to do things.
Oh, and Happy Valentines Day.

Another one of my Hobbies.

Besides crocheting I also love to take pictures, especially of our Grandchildren. I like to dabble and do different things with them, Here is just a sample.

Levi enjoying a cool splash in the pool on a hot summer day.

  

Tatum this was taken when she had just turned 2. I entered this photo in the county fair and got a 1st. place ribbon. This has to be one of my favorites.

  

This is just a little walk.

Keagan this child is the hardest kid ever to get a picture of.

  

This is Gage he is the youngest of the bunch. I had alot of fun doing this one. I may have to enter this one in the fair, who knows.

So now you have a little taste of my passions. I

I am so thankful for our 4 healthy grandchildren, 3 wonderful children  

and for a great husband that I have. We are celebrating our 32nd  Anniversary

today. I keep teasing him, I think I deserve a diamond  for every ten yrs. lol

I'll keep ya posted but I am sure that won't happen. :)

Another round ripple

Hello everyone, wow I feel like I have missed so much. I have been busy trying to catch up on all the little things I keep putting off. This little round ripple was made for my great niece Abby. She's a yr old already wow the time flies. I wanted to put up a  picture of the other  baby blanket but of course my batteries are dead, so I decided to show you Abby's. Also finished my giant granny blanket.
I am having troubles deciding what to make next. I have so many things I want to do.
Congrats to Debi. on your award way to go.

Looking for a reversible ripple afghan pattern

Hello friends, I know I haven't been on to blog lately. I have had alot of sick time of flu, bronchitis and fibromyalgia  flares. Hoping I am done now that everything happened one after another.
I am looking for a reversible ripple pattern. I seen it in a magazine and now I seem to have misplaced it or it got thrown away. I would appreciate it if someone had some to share.
I will try and get some pictures up in the next day or so of what I have been able to do in the last month or so.
Have a great day everyone.

Update on baby blanket

First of all Thank You Debi Y., after I posted my hats I seen her post and she mentioned me. I am pretty shocked since I don't have much going on, on my blog THANK YOU AGAIN.

Some photo's of the baby blanket I want to make it a little bigger

so it's crib sized.

I can't wait to get it done. I have discovered some many neat things that I want to try and make. This pattern came from  http://hooksandyarns.blogspot.com/
It was different I had to give it a try. Colors aren't very true must be my lighting. The variegated is call bikini, hot pink and yellow. It's alot prettier in person.
Have a wonderful day, and  a Great Thanksgiving.
