Nothing New

No new projects done, I haven't been working on the things that need to be done! It's been so nice we have been swimming everyday. I will work on the granny afghan today since it is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. But the weather man has been wrong before!
Hey! Only 8 more days till BB6! WooooHooooo!

New Nephew Is Here!

YAY! My new nephew is here, he decided to come a tad bit early. His due date was July 23rd, I guess he had had enough of being inside his mommy! He is doing good, they are keeping an eye on his lungs, but every thing else is great. He's 5 lbs, some odd ounces, and 18 1/2 inches long, and cute as a button. His name is Tanner William...can't wait to hold him!

LOL...he was so excited about his tooth coming out, we had to get pictures!  

The Birthday "BATMAN" boy! JJ's birthday party at the end of May. He had a great time, his best friend John and his little sister on one side of the table, and little Sidnie on the other side..all waiting for him to blow out his candles! Uncle Bill and Aunt Tanya got him the Batman mask. 

This baby blanket is for my sister-in-laws sister, she is due in September, having a girl!  

Summer is HERE!!!

WooHooooo! Summer is here! There weather has been great so far! I haven't been posting everyday because I have actually been falling asleep in my chair in the evenings! Swimming all afternoon will do that. But this is also a bad thing, my projects are suffering :o(
I did finish the baby blankets I had been working on(will post a picture). Now, I am going to work on the afghan I had started back in Feb. This one will stay here with us!

Today was an uneventful one, my biggest thrill was waiting for the furnance guy to come and do a spring maintance on the central air! He didn't come till 2pm...and I felt bad..he got stung by a bee cleaning out the air conditioner. Then he cut his knuckles pulling his hand out while he was being stung. I think he stepped in dog do too, some one did! He was probably glad to go..I thanked him three times, and he was already out the door going to his van. LOL..I just realized...he's my neighbor! He lives 6 houses down from me! I forgot! Oh now I'm going to feel bad everday...what if he sees me outside and doesn't wave when I do...oh no...don't want my neighbors not liking me!
I walked over to school this afternoon to pick Jay and John Matt up, and that was a mistake! It was so hot! I was kinda moody by the time we came back. I didn't know it was that hot out!
As far as crocheting...I am almost done with the third square for Maryann. I have three rounds to go, will take like 10 minutes to finish. Then I think I better get that baby blanket done. OK...I'm off to get that done, mail it out tomorrow.

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.

Sunday, May 29th

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.

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!

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!

Other projects

Hey..I think I've got this all figured out now...going to try it again...lol

This amazing work of art was made for my Aunt, who is a very big Elvis fan! 

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.

First Timer

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.....
