In Progress...

Hope this finds you well. Not alot of excitement here on this end. Busy week-end, as I worked....and work again tomorrow and Wednesday. Sure hope it's busy.

Here's our patient...recuperation still in progress. He goes down the steps without a problem...but still isn't crazy about running UP the stairs. Will take time for those little legs to heal...but he's doing amazing!!!!

"Frogged" out the baby afghan I was working on. Can't decide what pattern to use...too many holes isn't a good thing, so knitting the Princess Margaret baby blanket is out of the question. I'll come up with something...

Sun is shining...spring is right around the corner. I want to get this place cleaned up, clutter taken care of and get this thing "listed". "We gotta get out of this place...if it's the last thing we ever do". Good tune by The Animals...if my mind serves me correctly!!! If we don't make the move soon...we'll be too damn old to do what we want to do...

See ya later...

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".

Scarf For Vanessa

Did I show you the scarf I made for my grand-daughter Vanessa?? I used Lion Brand bulky...and what a lovely yarn to work with!!! Pretty, don't you think??

Had a busy day. Managed to clean the upstairs...including my craft room. (It's always fun to "play" in there!!) The closet shelves still need some attention, but I'll save that chore for next week.

Had baked chicken, rice and stewed tomatoes for dinner. Enough chicken left for another meal!! Sure was tasty...if I do say so myself!!

Plans for tomorrow are to dust and vacuum the main floor. After that, I hope to spend the afternoon crocheting. I'm working on a "scrap-happy" dish cloth...a good way to use up those odds and ends of cotton yarn!!

A Quick Hell-o....

I'm on my way to bed...and should have been there an hour ago. No reason...except I'm tired and have a "do list" a mile high for the morning. I really want to get some house work done so I can sit and crochet for a few hours.

Nothing "earth-shattering" going on around here. I worked the week-end and picked up several extra hours last week. Terribly slow...

Made macaroni and cheese for dinner...an old family recipe. It certainly hit the spot. I THINK it's baked chicken tomorrow night for dinner. Haven't really decided. I have all day to think about it, right??

Check out the patient. He's healing nicely...So glad he's still with us!!!

Sweet Dreams!
