Jabbering along

Hiall!
I thought well if I dont have a pic to show you that I could at least tell you what Ive been up to lately. I want to tell you that I have fallen in love with my Ipod! Heehee I didnt even have one a few months ago and now I can live without it. I listen to many podcast which are free so thats good. I do have some music on my ipod too, but not much. Just some oldies of Diana Ross and George Straight. My podcast are so much fun I have christian podcasts and crafty podcast. I just listen to a new one actually a video podcast of the Yarn Garden shop. Its a local yarn shop and it has all the ladies in there chatting about differant stuff like their stash. Oh what fun.
Im in the middle of making lapghans and of course I finished my doily pillow. I cant wait to show you all. Im trying to figure out or actually find a pattern for crocheted socks that are made from sock yarn so you can wear them with shoes like knitted socks. Im even get this, actually thinking of learning to knit socks what do you all think? Ive never been a great knitter Im better at crocheting but what the woop Ill give it a shot. As soon as Im finished with the lapghans that priority onr right now.
OK Im going to even try and start embroidering or sewing I have so much I want to do ....maybe I should clean up my craft space and see what I have already before I start something new.
OK Im going to look and see if I can find a pic to show you because I think my site is bland without a pic. Here goes... Heres the pic I found I thought it looked cool I just love it. I dont remember where I got it but here it is! 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.

Friends,
I cant believe Ive been away for so long. Ive been working on the lapghans and shawls for the home. I have been able to figure out I can make one shawl in 2 days and 1 lapghan in 3 to 4 days. Now I need to get busy because I need many more. I love using varigated yarn for the shawls they only use 2 skeins to make 1 shawl. Im adding a couple pics of the shawls and Im adding a few others of my lapghans out of granny squares. Oh yea Im using Red Heart Super Saver yarn for thses items. Im having the best time coming up with trim ideas.
I made a couple caps for Cora I hope she likes them. I used CrochetwithDee.com pattern for Chemo Caps. I love that pattern it is so easy and looks great. You can find the pattern on her site for free. I forgot to take a pic maybe Cora will send me a pic with her wearing one of them. hint hint!
Ok Im in the process of watching a marathon of NCIS. It helps with crocheting I love that show! I can wait for the new season to start.
Ok Im dont chatting with you all. Have a great day! tata
