Yeah Finished!

Finished the Camo lap throw today. Just in time. Almost ran out of yarn. I like the way it turned out. Buddy seems to like it too. It has given me something to do while my back is getting better. I threw it out about two weeks ago. Don't know what I did. But I guess sometimes we just move wrong. Sometimes I sure hate getting older. And dang it I had a birthday right in the middle of a painful week. Didn't help the getting old feeling. Oh well, I'm getting better slowly. I guess life just throws bumps in the road sometimes. Here's a smooth spot. My sister (Dancing in the Dark) gave me this beautiful yarn bag. I love it!!!! It's green!! She also hand spun me some yarn. I need to make my next project something special!! She's so dear to me, My bestest friend! Here is a pic of it!
I also got a great gift from my daughter. A beautiful wall decoration. Words that are like stickers. But when applied they appear almost to be painted on. I know these words speak the truth. Even though sometimes we don't agree on things. I hope she will remember that Families are everything and deserve respect. I placed this above my buffet in the dinning room. What do you think?
Always with great color!

Looks like Fall!!

Wow it's sure turning into Fall. I love it!! Got out all the Fall things that I have. Can't seem to pass up anything leaf or pumpkin. I'm not to into the scary Halloween things. I like things that can last through Thanksgiving. Buddy likes all the decor. So I thought I would make a blanket throw for my livingroom. I needed a project. And I picked a couple different greens (of course)and a carmel color. My son came home and said "Why are you making a camo blanket?" Ha ha ha I didn't even think of that when I bought the yarn. But I guess it kind of looks like that. Anywho, I love it.
So get out your tea cups and mugs and start to drink warm apple cider and hot chocolate. Fall is here!!! And always with great color!
Buddy get out of that new yarn!!!!! Such a little helper.

Hi,
I know it's been a while. Think I have just been vegging out. I need to wake up and get my butt back in gear. Anyways, I was working on another blanket for my son's girlfriends Birthday. Finally finished it!!! Happy Birthday Melanie.

Done!

I finished the blanket and made a small cap for the baby also. Melanie took it to her sister. Shortly afterwards my son got a text and picture. Well baby Vincent's brother Augustine had stole the cap and was wearing it. He's almost two!! Oh well at least they are enjoying it. And with the cool weather we are having they should be able to use the blanket also.
I need another project now!!
It's been cool so Buddy has been curling up and trying to keep warm. A big no no is laying on my son's Brandon's bed. Well look what I found. I told him I was going to take a blackmail picture. He kind of sneered at me. lol He does look cozy!!

Crochet!!

I haven't crocheted in a while. And I don't do anything fancy. But my son's girlfriends sister just had a baby. And I have the time. (Still job hunting). It's almost done. I love the mint green color.

One problem.......Buddy likes it too!! Here he is checking out a piece of loose yarn.
He doesn't have front claws. So he picks it up in his teeth and runs!!!
Oh well, he's having fun. Have a good Labor Day weekend peeps! And always with great color!

Salads Yum!

It's been such a nice summer so far. Not too hot and cooling off in the evenings. I have been making more salads for dinner. They are so refreshing! This is a picture of a taco salad I made. The tomato on top is from my sister's garden. It's suppose to be yellow. And it was yummy to my tummy!
This salad was a fried chicken salad. It was great too!! Buddy just thinks he will sit this meal out. Don't think he's liken the lettuce. My own garden kind of sucks!! I have had all tiny veggies. Blah. Here is my one tomato!! I guess they don't like growing in pots. It's pretty small. But when it got red I ate it on a dinner salad. And it was pretty tasty too!! Oh well, and always with great color!

Vacation and the 4th of July!

Well, I'm slow but had a great vacation in Idaho with my sister and her granddaughter. It's a beautiful place and can see why they like it. Slower pace of life and down to earth good people. Not crazy Californians. Here are some pic's of the long drive and the beautiful town. Carol and I had some nice walks around the town and neighborhood. Such nice friendly people.
Then on the 4th of July we all went to the local park. Fireworks are legal! They were shooting them off above our heads! Here is the beautiful sunset we saw as we waited for the sun to set and the fireworks to begain!
Family is everything. I hope I didn't wear out my welcome. I would love to go there again. Hugs to them all!
