I havent decided on what Im going to do next Im debating on making another pillow so go with my afghan but I just dont know ...

I want to start with the charity for this year. Ive decided on 2 differant charities One will be the convelstant home I gave to last year Or actually it qwas Karen and I. And maybe makinaby caps for the local county hospital. I think it would be fun to do both this year. WHat do you all think? IM I biting off more than I can chew? or crochet?

Carol seems to be doing a little better she is trying to get up and move around. Please continue to pray for her legs to be strong.

Andrew is seeking a job at the water department here in Vegas lets all agree together that he gets it! Thanks you Jesus!

I lost another 7 pounds so Im still working on loosing. IM hoping as the weather gts better that I venture out and start walking so....Karen did you read that? heehee we will see!

I had lunch with the girls yeasterday and it was so good. I love mexican food!

Spring is in the air here and I cant wait. IM hoping to maybe plant some tomatoes this year but as Ive been told Im not very good at it so Ill just try and see what happens this year:)

Well Im very happy to be hanging out here with you all but I should get back to my crocheting.....tata for now

Heres the ending of my new pillow, I just wanted you to see the hook that my sweet hubby bought me for my Christmas gift for 08:) Its solid silver and it crochets wonderful. The makers site is over at http://www.celticswan.com/crochet.htm it ran about 100.00 dollars but I just love it. Its one of a kind too!
Heres another pic of the pillow and the hook:) You wouldnt believe that I ran out of the Vanna Choice Pea Green yarn twice once with the afghan and now with the pillow, I only needed a few inches but of course I went to Micheals and to JoAnns and could not find the yarn to finish it up. But I went Friday and tada there it was at Micheals. So I finished it right away and its looks great. See for your self! Do you love it like I do?I love this little pillow it goes so well with my afghan and it worked up really nice. I may make another one just because I have the yarn left to do so. I dont know... what do you all think?
Heres my new header pic isnt it cute? Its 2 Peas n a Pod Bride and Groom. I started them Sunday morning and finished them Sunday late afternoon:) I got the pattern off the Lionbrand site its a free pattern go check it out if you like it!

Ok heres a few updates I dont know or remember if I told you I started a really neat bible study from my church-Valley Christian Center. Its The Relationship Principles of Jesus written by Tom Holladay hes a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church and the brother n law of Pastor Rick Warren. ITs a really insightful study. If you get a chance to purchace the book get it its great!

Carol is still in the hospital and she wants out really really bad so lets all pray she gets strength in her legs so she can walk! Yipee lets see what Jesus can do!

Im in the midst of making a afghan for my grand daughter Alexandria. Shhhh...Dont tell her its a surprise. Its in her favorite colors red and blck Ill take a few pics and post the next time Im on here:)

Please pray for my son n law Andrew he has put in a job application at the local water dept for a new job. Lets pray he gets it!

Oh ok Im off to the pull of the hook.

Ok by popular demand :) My daughter would like to hear a little Leslie Gore and some Reba so here it is just for her! Enjoy

Oh yea Im still crocheting I had the kids here yesterday and they all wanted to relearn how to crochet Izzie learned to make a granny square and Riley and Micheal learned to make a chain for a necklace:) They wore them home. Im keeping Izzies in a keepsake box for her when she gets older.

Ok Im going back to crocheting Im making a new pillow for that 14inch pillow form I ordered and didnt use so now Im using it:) heehee

Please keep praying for Carol she is being moved today and she is nervous about the move, she really wants to go home. Please pray for strengnth in her legs so she can get up and move around!

Oh yea Happy Feburary can you believe its Feburary already? Only a few more months and it will be Christmas again. I have to start thinking on what charity Im going to do this year. Its between baby caps for UMC Hospital here in Vegas or maybe more lapghans for the convelesant home again. What do you all think? Baby caps not preemies that have too many of thoses right now they need just regular hats. I need to pray about it all ya think?

Thats were I got the inspiration to make my Hex Afghan from too! I posted a pic of the finished afghan do you like that too? I really enjoyed making theses items so colorful and fun to do. I even decided to make the little pillow with the left over yarn. I took pics of the back and the front side. I needed a size 14" round pillow form and I couldnt find one around here so I ordered mine from Ebay and it came today so I finished off the pillow It looks like I should have ordered a size 15 or 16 inch round pillow form but oh well its done:)

I just recieved my new Rooster tea towels from Dani over at her site(http://dani-chinalakenews.blogspot.com/) in todays mail. I took a pick of them so you can see how happy I am with them Thanks to Dani she does awesome work, she has inspired me to maybe do a little embroidery of my own:) Heehee heres hopin I can remember how to thread or even see the needle:) hehee haw haw ok I know its not that funny!

Im in the process of making some really cute little crocheted figurine dolls when Im done Ill show them to you for you conciderations:)

Im still working on the Hex afghan and I think its coming along really great. I saw this movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the star Jane Powell wore this really pretty cover over her shoulders in the movie so Im thinking of making it. I studied the pattern the best I could Ill take a pic of the motif and show you what I came up with, I think it would be fun to make. The movie was made in 1954 wow thats so cool that they showed a crochet piece way back when:) heheh I was born in 1955 see how old I am?

I was going to go see her today but she asked that I not see her but by the end of the day she says I can so Ill be going to the hospital tomorrow and see that she is indeed ok! But please continue to pray for Carol she needs to be in rehab and you know what that can do to you. SO please continue in your daily prayers for my friend Carol and her family.
Ok Ive not been working on my Hex afghan and I can feel the effects of not crocheting on a daily basis, heehee haw haw! Can you believe that I have not crocheted in a few days AND Im admitting to it! I went for an adjustment today and I saw this lady knitting a washcloth and I could kick my self for not bringing my crochet and I always have it with me. Oh yea great news I lost 6 pounds over the holidays. I havent been to an adjustment since November 4th and I ate like crazy over the holidays I thought but I must be doing something good. So Im back to my 4 ounces and not eating junk!

Silvery full moon in Vegas

oooooh by the light of the silvery moon:)

How do you like my pics of the moon we had here last night? It was a full beautiful moon!

I was talking to my friend Karen and she kept telling me how awesome the moon was last night so I jumped up and took a pic or two.

I know I dont take the best pics with my camera but I think they came out alright. What do you all think?

Carol is still holding her own, please pray for her and her family. I havent been up there yet because I know she wouldnt want too many people surrounding her while she is asleep. I know I wouldnt. But if they need me Ill be there! Thats for sure!

OK have a great night and Ill see you again really soon.

Friends,

I havent been doing much this past week other than hang out with Hubby:) He took the week off to relax after that hectic holiday week and all.

We did ride out to Pahrump to visit with Di and Larry to see their new place. Very pretty I must say I liked it there it was very quiet for a change from Vegas. Maybe when Terry and I decide to retire we may look into it. We will see.

I baby sat for the kids today and I got a message from Di that Carol was in the hospital again for the same thing as last time ...congestive heart failure. Mostly water in her lungs. PLEASE pray for her she hates the hospital. I pray she will be comfortable.

I put a chicken in the crockpot I dont know if it will be done but I think I could let it cook all night, man I bet it would taste good by tomorrow:)

I havent even been working on my afghan either I should get back to it thats for sure! I have made over 50 motifs I need maybe 150 more to make it big enough:) Boy I can bite off a big one cant I:)

I hope you like my new song I have listed, I feel in love with it while I read at night I listen to SOSRadio.net every night and they play this song all the time I just love it! They never mentioned who sang it but I figured it out someone called TobyMac. Ill leave it up for awhile I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ok I should take down this tree. Terry keeps mentioning it so I think thats his idea of a hint:) heehee ok Ill take it down.

Heres the same pic I posted last week but you knew you wanted to view it again:) ITs my basket of working hex motifs!
Heres the beginnings of the afghan its much bigger now that Ive added 50 more to it. Ill take a new pic soon so you can see the progress.

I dont have anything too interesting to say today but Happy Day Im here and glad of it!! HeeHee
Its been in the cold zone here in Vegas for me with Fibro and all. The cold is the worst for me. I went to my doc and got my new meds for the next couple months so that should help. He thinks my authoritis is in my knees now and they are acting up so I need an xray of my knee! Oh goodie more bills!
IM still working on my little afghan. I have made over 50 motifs and have maybe depends how big Ill make it maybe 100 more to go. Ive stopped and made a new pair of booties for my sister she requested some new ones from me that come higher up the ankle so I made them for her. They turned out really cute I must admit. If I can remember Ill get a pic before she takes off with them.
Thursday Im going over the hill to Pahrump to visit with Di and Larry. They retired out there and they are loving it! I cant decide where I want to retire too. I dont think Ill ever leave Vegas. I like the weather too much. And of course all my family is here just waiting to see me:) heehee haw haw
Ok Im off to buy a new crochet hook I discovered on Etsy made out of glass. Its so pretty Ill take pics when I get it.
Have a happy and beautiful day today!

Many prayers and well wishes for you who deem to read my humble blog!to Happy days ahead for sure!

You can see in the corner of the pic that I bought a brand new ice cream scooper for myslef with a 50% off coupon from Micheals isnt it cute? Its red like everything else in my kitchen!Heres a taste of whats to come with the Hex afghan I figure I can make 10 every evening that gets me closer to the 159 I need for the whole afghan! I got the idea from ttp://attic24.typepad.com/ If you get a chance go check out her site, I love her crochet!
OK last night I awoke with a headache around 3 in the morning just when hubby was coming home from work( hes working graveyard) He presented me with these lovely very pink roses. Arnt they the prettiest roses you ever did see for December? What a doll he is to think of me.
Ok like I said its my 53rd birthday today and I had a wonderful birthday. I had all my lovely friends calling me all day to wish me a wonderful day and promises of a later lunch in the month to come. But today I went out with my friend Karen and Terry to the Claim Jumpers. I had Jamaicen (sp?) Sweetpotate and I came home with their awesome bread pudding for later tonight! Oh what a meal!

I dont like tvs in my bedroom because thats where I read not watch tv:> heehee
Ive been listening to the local Christian radio and I really like the holiday music they have been playing. Terry gets tired of it so I change over to AOL Radio and play oldie CHRISTmas music ever so often:)
IM in the middle of crocheting little goodie sachet dresses for my few relatives that like those kinda things they need sachet balls to put in them so I need to run out and find some. DO you know where I can find them at? I looked on JoAnns site and then Micheals but they didnt have any there so Im going to venture out to the local mall and see if I can locate some.

Christmas fun

We had the most fun delivering the lapghans and shawls to the home yesterday. Karen and I met at around 1:30 or so and we got to deliver each item to each person what fun. Some of the people didnt want to take anything because they thought they had to buy it. But we had enough items with some left over. Next year if I do this again I will start in April and make only lapghans and shawls because they really didnt need the totes. Hers a few pics so you can see what we delivered.
Dani Im sorry but I made each lapghan differant from each other but I did make one the same except I changed the colors to make them all seem different Ill take some time soon and write out the pattern so you can all make some and they are really quick and fun to make.
I wanted to let you know that I got the idea of this charity from my church here in Vegas and one of the ladies Elaine had this ministry to the home and it just all coame togehter.
Ok Im finally off to make Christmas gifts for some family members:) WOW I love to crochet!


This is a very sweet lady who loved the colors of her lapghan.
Heres two of the ladies in the home. One wanted a lapghan and the other wanted a shawl. Dont they look pretty?
This is the office mangager Betty, me and Karen
This is Glenda if I remember her name right, She loved her lapghan, she told me she used to crochet alot when she was younger. She was naming all the stiches in the lapghan. Isnt she precious?
Heres Karen in the front of the tree with the boxes of goodies.

Ok here I go...

Another pic of the lapghans
I cant figure out how to turn this pic right so here it is anyway... many of the lapghans
This is one of the many totes I made


Well I almost finished. I made 20 lapghans and 25 shawls with Karens help and 25 totes. Someone else made 5 other lapghans and I never received them so Im short 5 lapghans. But we made it here are some pics of you to enjoy.

WOw I thought I was done

I got a call today from Elaine the one connected to the home Im making all the lapghans and shawls for. And she wants to deliver them all on Friday of this week! I thought I only had to make one more lapghan and then I counted again and then again and came up with one short so Im going to try and get another one made asap.
I also went to the doctor today about this nasty cough I have been having and he gave me a bunch of meds and told me not to leave the house for a week! So now I have another excuse to make another lapghan:) heehee haw haw Like I need an excuse.
Well as soon as I finish the last lapghan and Karen brings over her last shawl Ill take pics so you can see them all. Oh yea I also made the little totes as well. I cant forget those little cuties.
My sister Carri reminded me today that she is expecting her house slippers that she put an order in aways back ago. I think I can work those up hopefully by her birthday which is on the 23rd.
I just wanted to let you all know that Larry is home from the hospital and all your prayers are working so keep up the great work fellow saints. DOnt forget to say a few prayers for Susan and Vann too while I know your at it!
Ok I need to get off of here and get to bed so I can get up early to go get the last of the yarn I will need. Oh happy day...


Update: My very good friend Carol is in the hospital having difficulty breathing please pray for her.

People, People, People,
Im alive really I am. Ive been down with this nasty bug and I havent barely started packing. I can homestly tell you I have 6 boxes packed:) Thats the beginning thats for sure, Pray for us we are all still really sick and I need my strengnth to get through all of this.
Im still working on the lapghans and Im really almost finished if it was not for Karen helping me I know I would not have finshed all of these items. THANKS Karen!
I havent even started my Christmas gifts I dont think Ill be able to make what I wanted to make this year Ill just have to save it for next year.
I have some prayer requests to ask you to pray for they are Larry and Diane and Susan and Vann. Please pray that God stays with them and lifts them up in their time of need.
Ok Im off of here now to get some much needed rest. IM in the middle of rereading the Left Behind series and I cant wait to get back to it. Tata for now my sweet friends...

Happy Thaksgiving my Friends

Wow I slept most of this day away. I do pray you all have a full belly and that your nice and warm in your comfy home. Terry went and picked up dinner from Marie Callenders and I didnt know it but I had to cook the turkey breast for 2 hours before we could eat it. And I had to cook most of the food I thought all I would have to do was take it out of the box and heat it up not cook it! Terry ended up eating the rest of my roast I cooked the other day and he loved it said we should have a roast for dinner next Thanksgiving. So maybe Ill just do that next year.
Im still working on my aghans I have only ten more to make then Im done.
OK have a very happy Thanksgiving chat with you later...

Susan and Van

TO all who may happen by here... Can you send a little or two or three prayers up toward God to hear for Van and Susan? They are in the midst of a big medical issue and they are asking for prayers. And I just know you will all do that for me for sure:) You can read more about Van over on Susans site http://blackberrycreek.typepad.com/ . I know they would love it if you sent them a little prayer their way.
Im doing great Ive been working (Crocheting) on my lapghans I need 10 more lapghans then Im done. Did I tell you last week about a very sweet lady named Debra called me and offered a small collection of patterns and some yarn that belong to her dear momma. Her mom was an avid doily maker and she would do charity work too! She passed a few months ago at 88 years old and Debra did not know what to do with her moms vast collection of patterns and some yarn too. Of course I said ...Sure I"ll take it:)I love all the doily patterns. Makes me want to start one right now but of course Ive got to finish my lapghans before starting a doily. But I plan next year to start on a new project maybe some filet will do me good!
IM also collecting boxes so I can box up all my little goodies in my home. Ive started with the library ( yes this house has a library) Im going to miss it, thats for sure, so Im trying to weed out books but I just dont want to give any up. Ive started rereading my books. Im in the middle of the Left Behind Series. I love my books! If you know of a goods read let me know Im always game.
Ok have a great night I need to get back to my crocheting...

Prayers needed

Ok my Friends,
I need all my praying friends to pray that we can sell our house fairly quick. I know God can do this I just want Him to do it fairly quick:) He guides my steps and I want to be in line with what He wants I really belive this is one of those things I am being directed to do. I think He wants Terry and I lined up for rough days ahead. SO He is saying down size and unload what I just dont need anymore.
Karen and I a really crocheting along with the Christmas project we are working on. She wants to go and give out the shawls and lapghans so I need to find out if we can go along to do that. What an exciting year this is going to be.
I want you all to know I love you all and Im so happy you come to my little blog to see what Im involved in these days.
Oh happy day, tata for now...
Heres alittle something for you all a Chocolate glazed donut to much on. Im down another 5 pounds Yippee Its still coming off.

Im here

Friends, Ive been busy with my crocheting for the convelesent home, Im almost done. I need 10 more lapghans and then Im finished. My friend Karen is bringing up the shawls from the rear:) heehee Shes doing fantastic. Keep up the great work Karen!
Im in the midst of trying to obtain boxes for moving. We found out tonight that the renter will be out sometime in mid December so we will be moving as soon as they are out. We need to pick paint colors and carpet and linolium. I want to get this right so I dont have to do it again really soon. Im trying to decide how to decorate I feel like this will be almost my last try at decorating this old house. I thought about country but my furnishings is more modern and antiques mixed. I may try contemporary. I have figured out I want Roosters for my kitchen I love roosters. I already decorate in red and black here so I thought I would add roosters in the mix:)
Im going to take before pics so you all can see what Ill be up to as soon as we can get in there. Im waiting for the gas company to call to see if we can go gas in the house its all electric right now. But where we live right now is mostly gas and I love it. So say a little prayer that they can convert the house to gas.
Ok Ill be back as soon as I can get a break...Dani summoned me back from the crocheting world by asking were Ive been hiding. Ill be back...

Friends,
Ive been busy as well today. Im crocheting away I am over half way done with the Convelesent homes items for Christmas:)
I went on Craigs list and found some yarn to buy. Im really excited about it all. There is alittle over 200 skeins of yarn Im thrilled. She is asking 200.00 for the lot. Im going to check it out tomorrow.
We have a new president and Im praying that it all goes well. The Lord is in control so Im happy.
The weather here has been awesome. Its just now starting to get chilly. I love the fall its so cool and crisp.
Everyone around here is working so I decided to order Thanksgiving dinner from Marie Callender. Terry found out that he has to be a work around 3 that day so its just going to be him and I for dinner. And I dont have to do any cooking. Thats going to be weird thats for sure.
Im starting to collect boxes for the move. Abbea says she has a bunch I want to get started packing so Ill be ready for it when it comes.
God has been so good to me and I praise Him for it all. Thanks.

Ok Im back to my old self:) Ive wrapped my head around moving back to the old neighborhood. I really dont want to but to prepare our way to the future its a must do issue. The house has been rented for over 15 years and I just cant imagine what it looks like now, since I have not been in it for over 5 years. I just know the people renting it now hoard things, all kinds of things! I just pray they take it all with them when they move out:)
I have all kinds of plans for the house once I get in there tho. I hope I can deal with all the mess till then. I have to start collecting boxes now so I will have them ready when I need them.
I want to thank you all for praying for me... I felt the prayers for sure! God will bless me in this new adventure He always does!
IM continuing crocheting for the charity I chose this year. I have 2 other ladies helping me out so its coming along I think I will make the deadline Dec.15.
Ok have a great day and dont forget to go VOTE please.
