St. Patricks Afghan 2014

 Awe my St. Patrick afghan of 2014 it was so easy to make this afghan. You can find the link to it on my Pinterest page under afghans. I think it's an all free patterns afghan. Like I said it was easy peasy pattern. I totally enjoyed making this, I kinda wish it never ended.

This is the edging. It turned out awesome! You make it seep rate from the afghan then added it to the end. I enjoyed doing that too!

I finished a few other items I'll post later. I've been busing myself with easy to do items the past few days. I need to get back to my Lords Supper, I just might do that today! I'll take a few pics for you to show you how far along I've got on it.

I'm preparing my guest room for  because my friend Mo is on his way here to escape a mirder charge! I do hope that's not true!

My boy Buster! 

Another day

I found this little doily in Crochet World Spring 2014, I just fell in love with the design. I was going to work on my Lords Supper but I just had to make this little doily.. It's a easy peasy doily. So fun!

  I googled an old friend of mine that I haven't heard from since 1998. Her name happens to be Vicki, I know lots of Vicki's somehow,God hass brought them into my life.

  She lives in Mossori now, cold cold cold weather. I don't know how people live in that kinda weather. It was in the 70 s today and very sunny! I love it, nice and warm.

  I went to church on Sunday to hear my nephew Chris preach. Wow he was good, very funny and gets right to the point. I loved it, if he ever gets his own church I think I'd join up with him. He speaks the truth! Very refreshing!

  Ok I'll go back to my doily now. Be safe and warm...

Awe flowers

I can't wait for spring, I'm looking at flower catalogues. So pretty, I just miss flowers. Oh where oh where are the flowers. We have sunshine we've had rain, so bring on the flowers. How about you do you miss the smell of fresh spring flowers?

Tadah moments

 Here's my Heart Doily for 2014 . Isn't it pretty? I love the pink the angel was given to me from my dear friend Karen Kissam. I just love the way the angel brings out the love in my doily!

I started on my St. Patrick Day afghan. So far so good. I love the pattern it is so easy peasy to make.do you have a St. Party's day afghan? It's not too late to start one!

This is my Christmas tree I so hated to see it put away so I kept it up and added red hearts on it for Valentines Day. I'm thinking if I'm not tired of it maybe for Easter I'll make flowers and maybe,eggs to add to it. Do you know of any patterns out there for me?

Ok I'm off here back to my st patty afghan. Stay cool my friends and I do mean warm ...

My sister Jerri  I miss her everyday 

Hearts

 Here's my little heart doily I've been working on this past few weeks. It is turning out so pretty. I have 2 1/2 rows left and they are douses!

This is my doily I made. I don't know what to do with it, but I did make it so it could hang. Isn't it kinda cute?

I'm going top pickup my St Patricks afghan as soon as I've finished the heart doily. What have you been working on? I'd love to hear about you all and your doins!

Ok the weather here has been awesome, I've had the door open and hubby's been out golfing! How's your weather? They say for us to prepare because it can get really cold in afeburary. So here we are crocheting...

This week in my life

 Here's little Teacup sitting on my lap hiding in my blanket

This is Buster asleep while sitting up!

This is my dad's dresser when he was a boy with a beautiful doily made by my friend Vikki Hook, isn't it awesome? She sells her doilies, she can make anything if your interested in having her make something. You can find her on Etsy listed under Hooks4U! Go check her out!

October happenings

 This is Buster trying to get comfy on our new couches. He is so cute!

This is one of my pumpkins I made for our annual block party, they all sold so now I need to make a pumpkin doily just for me.

I added beads and flowers for a little pazzazz.

This one is my favorite one, the pumpkin is a beautiful green pumpkin.

Ok I just had to add another pic of my Buster, I love him so much, can you tell?

I got the pattern for the pumpkin doily from BellaCrochet.com it was a free pattern and works up like a charm. I'm going to make some more just to dress up my pumpkins.

Im now concentrating on finishing up my house, as soon as I'm done I'll take some pics to show you all.

Ok be blessed and prepare yourselves for the coming holidays!

Hooky delights and extra

 Tile going in the kitchen stretching into the living room.

These are my solid silver crochet hooks from Celtic Swan Forge . They are so smooth to crochet with.

This is my ornate hook I found on eBay. I only paid 15.00 for this awesome hook it came from Belgium

This here is my new Furls crochet hook in size J they sent me skein of linen yarn. One came from the hook the other came from my hook necklace( I'll take a pic to show you) 

Isn't the hook awesome.

My sweet hubby bought me these hooks for my birthday and Christmas gift from last year.

I'm such a lucky girl and I get to have such a sweet man in my life.

More delights

 This horse is so pretty, I could not take my eyes off him/her. I know this is the second horse I have shown you here. I live in Las Vegas and my neighborhood does not allow horses. But man if I lived in Kentucky and had about 100 acres and all the money I needed I'd buy me these horses!

This was my dinner last night and thanks to my friend Dani from Eagles Wings for the fig sauce I put on top. I don't eat a lot of bread anymore and I wanted this sauce so I put it on my vanilla bean ice cream, yummy! It made my night.
