The Patient....

Og The Dog...aka "The Patient". Poor little boy is doing amazingly well after his surgery. It's been 10 days since he went under the knife...and it's becoming harder and harder to keep him "still". It's difficult trying to keep him from doing the thinks he enjoys most...chase the cats...jump on the bed...etc. We're doing just fine....it will all be over with before we know it!!!

Nothing much going on around here. I managed to start crocheting a dish cloth...didn't care for the color combination much, so "frogged" it out. Will work on it again tonight.

Have picked up a few extra hours at work, and I'm glad this week is just about over with. VERY quiet...and although there's always something to do...I get bored extremely easy. Need I say more??

I'll leave you with that...enjoy your evening.

Busy Week-end

We're back from our trip to Michigan...have picked Oggie up from the vet...and life is about as normal as it gets right now.

Since Og The Dog has had his surgery, we have to watch him closely...no running, no steps, no jumping...etc. He must be feeling better, as he's starting to get rambunctious!! It's going to be a long 6-8 weeks...but...we'll make it through this!!! He has his stitches out tomorrow...so that will be one less thing to worry about!!

Trip to Michigan was AWESOME...need I say more?? My grand-daughters are growing so fast and are so well behaved. I'm really proud of them. When I get pictures off the camera, I'll share a few with you.

Crocheting?? Nope....and I'm starting to have withdrawals. I made a few bath puffs before Christmas and gave one to each of my daughter-in-laws. They're made out of 100% cotton yarn...so the more you use them, the softer they get. Hope they enjoy them!!

Well, better get some laundry done and do abit of house work. Never-ending job!!!

Have a great day!!!

Scarf...

I haven't been doing too much crocheting since Christmas...but did manage to knit a striped scarf for my #2 Grand-daughter, Vanessa, for Christmas. I'm in the middle of blocking it now, so I'll share it later. In the meantime, here's one I made for the craft show. Unfortunately, it didn't sell, but there's always next year.

I have a nasty head cold...took the day off work. Unusual for me!! I felt so bad yesterday and this morning, it even hurt to put on my glasses. Hopefully, this will pass in a big hurry, as I'd really hate for my grand-daughters to catch this. We're heading down for a visit on Sunday...so, if I'm not feeling much better, I'm sure our trip will be cancelled. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Think I'll go see what I can come up with for lunch...have a great Friday!!!

Time....

Time sure has a way of slipping by the way-side, doesn't it??? Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season. Personally speaking, I'm glad it's over and done with. Well....almost. We still have to go to the States and visit my 2 boys and their families...leaving Sunday. I'm actually looking forward to this part of it.

Other than the hustle and bustle of the holidays...our Oggie Dog has been under the weather. He needs surgery on his left, back leg...something about the knee and torn ligaments. Doesn't sound good...but the results are positive. We debated about what to do...but there really wasn't much of a question. His heart is healthy...body functions are great...and he doesn't have cancer or any life threatening disease. He's such a joy!! It's going to take some time..but he's worth it!!!

I have a nasty cold .... I tried to take a nap, but the phone rang. Guess I better finish packing up the boys' gifts.

Let's see if I can get back on track...talk to ya later.

Comfort Food...

As usual, I am always busy over the week-ends..work, ya know. That dirty 4 letter word!!! But I'm one of the fortunate ones...I DO have a job....right??

Well, Saturday morning, I made a batch of banana nut muffins....the big ones. They were so good...I don't think I've made them since last fall. Comfort food!! Pair one up with a cup of tea...

This week I haven't accomplished much. I did finish up one of the hats I had an order for....a red mock ear flap hat. Three more to go... I really need to get my "butt" in gear. I keep thinking I have all of this extra time...BUT...well, you know the story.

We're heading to the States on Monday...this is our annual Christmas shopping trip. I do have a good part of it done...but there still are a few things I'm looking for. A good reason to get away.

Went to the dentist on Tuesday...easier than I thought it would be. I had a filling replaced and some "bonding" done on my front tooth. The worst part of the whole procedure was the "grinding" noise I had to deal with. It's over...and they look better. I'm lucky to have a good dentist I trust!!!

Well, better get this show on the road. Need to vacuum the downstairs yet...Lord knows it needs it.

Have a great day!!

I'm Backkkkkkkkkk!!!

It's been almost a month since I sat down to share my "daily adventures" with you. Not that I do anything that's earth shattering...but it's my life and I quite enjoy it--for the most part.

Not alot to share. The craft show has come and gone. I did better than last year, but not as good as I had hoped for. I sold a pair of mittens...some "scrap happy" dish cloths, pot scrubbies....and 3 hats. The good thing is that I have several orders for hats that need to be finished by Christmas week. Hopefully...a "no brainer."

Have been working on Christmas gifts...both homemade and purchased items. I'd say I'm about 50% finished. We're heading down to the States in a few weeks to finish it up.

Plans for today...I have to go over to my neighbors and push the vacuum...go to work for 3-4 hours...stop off at the post office and market. Ebay sales have slightly picked up , so I want to get a few things listed for the week-end.

So I'm off...like a "herd of turtles"...better get this day started. Check out one of my hats....thought for sure it would sell at the craft show. Maybe it's the color. Oh well...

Hell-o!!

Yes...I'm still around...just haven't had much free time the last few weeks.

Last week, John and I took a few days and went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The weather was SUPER and we had a great time. Went to both Lake Superior and Lake Michigan...walked along the coasts and saw all kinds of "neat" stuff. We both enjoy the old lighthouses...and came upon a few. This particular one was on the shore of Lake Superior. And it was just beautiful!!! So much to see...so little time.

I've been working on several hats for the craft show..Nov. 6th. It will be here before I know it!! Should have time to make a few more tams if I play my cards right!! I'm currently working on a scarf...made of Red Heart Light and Lofty yarn. The color is Cape Cod...a variegated yarn of several interesting colors. I call it my "tutti-fruity" scarf. Very nice...and very soft!! Hope it sells!!

Other than that, nothing much new here! I'll share some pictures of my latest crocheting projects as soon as I get some taken!!

In the meantime...enjoy your day!! It's just beautiful out there!!!
