Feels like monday!!

Well, woke up at 5:15 this morning to a little baby crying from a stuffy head! I thought he would fall back to sleep after changing him, and rocking him...but he didn't. Even tried putting him in bed with me...I think that just made him want to play!
I worked on a granny square last night before bed for Maryann(one of the ladies from the board), am going to get two done today. Then mail them out to her so she can get her afghans started and done for her family.
For the girls asking where I got the pattern for the Elvis afghan-e-Bay! I have tried contacting the lady again to see who else she has, but to no avail. The site she had running was www.cuddleup-creations.com , but nothing comes up for it. I get some search engine page, and on e-bay, I get the message that there are no matches found. I don't know what happened. If someone is interested in the pattern let me know. It can be done in the afghan stitch(tunisan), or done the way I did it(cross stitched it on).
Ok..I'm going to get off here and feed the little one...maybe not...he's asleep! Well then..I guess it's the dishes!

Ughhhh!!

We had a very inactive day today, sat and watched television all afternoon. I missed the parade this morning, the kids actually left us sleep in! Did not cook out, don't have enough gas in the tank...lol. But I just used the old George Foreman, tasted pretty darn good! I finished the baby blanket I was working on, but went and messed it up trying to fix the first few rows. And boy did I make a mess of it. I did fix it the best I could, but I would never give it as a gift now, so Caden has another blanket. I will have to get some more yarn and start another one. It won't be done I don't think for the baby show on the 12th of June. I will have to see what I can do. I did start another one late this afternoon, for my sister-in laws sister. She is having a girl, so it will be done in white and pink. My first pink blanket...lol..everyone seems to have boys. I will have to post a pic later of the one I messed up...I could cry.

Whoops, I haven't been keeping up with my blog here! I will do better, well...I'll try to do better..lol.
I'm going to try and post a picture of the Elvis afghan I finished this past week. I will not be making another one, way to much work involved for me. It did turn out really nice, but I don't like spending so much time on one item. I like to make something and get on to the next thing.
This one was a Christmas gift for sister-in law, this past year. I found the pattern on the Lion Brand web site for free. Posted by Hello
Snowflake afghan I made for another sister-in law for Christmas 04. I love this one, think it would be cute in different colors too! Posted by Hello
Little baby blanket for my new nephew, Parker, born in March 05.
I use this pattern for all the new little ones. Just finished another one today, and about to start a new one this week. Seems like everyone is having babies! Posted by Hello

I am taking a break, I have been crocheting since 8:30, it's almost 12 am. I really have to get this afghan done, my Aunt leaves to go back home at the end of the month, and it has to be done so she can take it home(and I won't have to mail it!). I didn't work on it today because it was so nice out, and Cade and I spent the day with my Mom. Oh...the afghan is a portrait of Elvis, a young Elvis. And so far....it isn't going as planned. I didn't think it would take so long to cross stitch the design on. Ughhhh!
Oh well, I know she will love it, and that makes it worth it.
I think there is a way to post pics on here, going to have to check that out.

Hello!
Well, I have no idea what I am doing, so this will be a "learn as I go" project! I was reading messages posted on a site, and everyone is talking about 'blog, blogging and blogs'...didn't want to be left out.....
