Last Day of the Month...

Well, February came and went in a "flash". We're getting closer and closer to spring...and I just can't wait. A few days ago, one of my "summer-time friends" paid me a visit. A small red squirrel! Haven't seen him since late last fall. He remembered to peek through the patio door to get my attention. Yes, he got his handful on peanuts....even though he doesn't look like he's been starving to death over the winter months!!!

Worked all week-end, with Sunday being a 13 hour day. I woke up around 4 a.m. and my feet felt like they were on fire!!! I'm just not sure how much longer I can keep those kind of hours up!!!

Here's the yarn I'm using on the baby afghan. I went to Zeller's to get a few more skeins on Friday...just in case I run out. What a nice surprise...buy one get one 50% off. Ya gotta love a sale.

Better think about getting some dinner cooking!!! See ya later!

Good day, Sunshine!!!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning...but from the looks of the weather forecast, it's going to be short-lived. It looks as though it's going to be "grey skies" for the upcoming week. At least we have a few hours of "beauty" this morning.

Haven't been doing too much this past week. Have managed to keep the house clean...it's a good feeling. Also tied in some loose ends on a "scrap-happy" dish cloth. I started a baby afghan--twice now--and will share pictures when the pattern starts taking shape. The afghan is called "Princess Margaret"..similar to a Feather and Fan afghan stitch, but consists of only 2 rows. Easy-peasy!! Here's a picture of a few of the dish cloths I've finished so far. Nice, bright colors!!

Better start thinking about heading to work....yesterday was a busy day. Unfortunately, the boss was grumpy and he managed to make everyone's life miserable...but we all have our "off days", right?

Enjoy your Saturday...

AGAIN.....

It's been awhile AGAIN. There really isn't any consistency to my blogging, is there?? I've been keeping busy...really I have.

I've been working on keeping a more tidy house...for the most part...saving time for myself. But...I spend entirely too much time on this computer. Just think of the things I could accomplish if I wasn't sitting here!!! (Never happen!!) ;)

I've been using up some odds and ends of cotton yarn...more dish cloths. I think I told you about my "scrap happy" crochet dish cloths, didn't I?? I have several made...and they sell very well at the craft shows. I really think the ladies like the combination of colors used!! Regardless, the price is right. Take a peek...

I've also been listing on eBay...I really need to get rid of this clutter. If we put this house up for sale, it will be a"rush" to get everything boxed up and ready to move. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.....

Have a great day....

Life...

I lost another class-mate this week...that makes 2 in just a few short weeks. Years ago, they were good friends. How fast life passes us by and we loose contact...loose ourselves in everyday life...loose focus with what's important, or should be. The death of a friend has opened my eyes...it's time. Time to get back to the basics or life...to do what I want to do...what's important to me. It's time to get back to the basics....

Oggie had surgery on his other back leg a week ago. And today he gets his stitches out. He's feeling better...and it's obvious that he wants to go for a walk, play and just be an "Oggie Dog" again. A good thing.

I finished up a few scrap happy dish-cloths over the last few weeks. I found a baby afghan I started over a year ago...should finish it up for Jeremy's new arrival due in May.

I want to make a scrap quilt out of squares...just something simple...but something to use up a bunch of fabric scraps I have. You know...getting back to the basics...

I hope we find a house...out in the rural areas...so I can have my garden....

Until next time...I hope you find out what's important in your life...your "basics".
