<strong><span style="color: black;">I am so sorry to have been away from here for so long but my Mother passed away, she was 95 years young. So I have been just out of things but I am tip-toeing back in a little bit, so be prepared for my usual "Craziness to appear". Good Luck to all of you and take care.</span></strong><br />

We still have tons of snow on the ground and a big possibility of snow for the next 4 or 5 days. So it looks like I'll be making some more caps pretty soon.

But I'm in the same spot you are, I think I have told everybody everything about me, but I'll give it a try anyway.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">1. I am in my second marriage and we've been married for 37 years and he is just the best.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">2. I have 8 grandchildren--but only 2 of them are girls!!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">3. I have been crocheting since I was 8 years old, my Aunt taught me. I have also been sewing since I was 6 years old, my Mother taught me on an old treadle sewing machine.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">4. For Valentine's Day my husband spoiled me and got me a Designer Dog, 1/2 Shih Tzu and 1/2 Pekingese (?). She is so spoiled but I do love her.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">5. I do so love the snow but Jay doesn't let me out in it very often, so I guess I will just have to wait until spring.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">6. Before I came down with MS I was a school teacher, after I became paralyzed I didn't think I could handle the kids correctly so I retired. I do love retirement!!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">7. My first craft love is sewing then crocheting. I can't hand quilt anymore but I am trying to learn how to machine quilt........and I'm making a terrible mess!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I hope I told you some things that you didn't know about me, but I hope I didn't scare anybody off. Now for my list of people:</span></strong><br />

It is so nice to get so many thoughtful comments from y'all. I really am okay I just needed a little more rest. So I think I will hit my bed early tonight so I can get on with my crocheting tomorrow.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">But "Thanks" for all the well-wishes, I really appreciated them.</span></strong><br />
<br />

I drew the name late last night then wound up in ER for awhile so that's why I am so slow today. I hope everyone continues to stop by and see what is going on here, this has really been fun for me, I hope all of you that didn't win still come by and hope you had fun here also. Okay, the name I drew has 48 hours to contact me with her address so if I don't hear from her then I draw another name. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">So Good Luck to Allison and Thank You to all the others who participated. Stay warm and stay tuned. As my uncle used to say, "See you in the funny papers!"</span></strong><br />

Gracious it seemed like forever before I got the pictures made, as a matter of fact I have already picked out 4 other colors from Hobby Lobby and purchased the yarn for them. Now how is that for getting started on an early Christmas. So here are the photos then keep on reading for some other news.</span></strong><br />

Now on to the second part of my story. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">In case you haven't noticed I have reached 191 followers, I can't believe it. I thought I was doing great when I reached 10 people!! Sooooo, when I reach 200 I am going to have a big Giveaway of "something" to do with crocheting. I won't tell you until we get a lot closer to the big 200, so you'd better stay tuned to see what is going on. But I will say this......the major prize is not one of these purses. Gotcha there didn't I???</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I will keep up with you if you'll hang in there with me, okay? Chat with you soon.</span></strong>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219929428272057199.post-20967790256052940572010-12-30T00:20:00.001-07:002010-12-30T00:21:04.676-07:00What's New Around Here?<strong>Well, we here in South Dakota are going to be shoveling out from a ton of snow for the next 3-4 days. Doesn't that sound like fun? I thought so until Jay reminded me that I won't be going outside I will be stuck here in the house under house arrest, and then he gave me that evil little grin of his. The doctor says I should not be going out under any sort of bad conditions because of my ease of catching something close to a cold? Now would I go and do that???? So we just won't mention that I have a 9:45am Doctors appointment in the morning that I really shouldn't be going to, but I told Jay to bundle me up really well and let's give it a try before it got to much snow.......you don't even want to know what look I got on that suggestion. So thank heavens I have plenty of yarn and a ton of things I can make for next Christmas, or gifts for birthdays during this year.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>So I suppose I really should get to bed so I will be bright and bushy tailed in the morning and ready to work. It would be nice if I knew what I was working on????? Take care my friends and stay warm.</strong>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219929428272057199.post-82377696273430391632010-12-25T20:07:00.005-07:002010-12-28T16:42:37.428-07:00<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Merry Christmas to All !!</strong></span>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219929428272057199.post-42796914143556368242010-12-17T21:11:00.001-07:002010-12-28T16:24:36.842-07:00Finally Online<strong><span style="color: black;">My monitor quit the other day so Jay has been looking everywhere for me a new one. Finally he found me one late last night and went and picked it up around 9:00p.m. Since it was so late he didn't hook it up until this morning and since he had a Santa thing to do today I haven't had a chance until now to get on it. It works great!! I am so proud of it and of Jay for sticking with it to find me the right one, it works so good.</span></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">So I will be back on here sometime tomorrow to write and let you know what I have been up to, so just hang in there a little while longer, okay?

Like his remote, the telephone, pen and paper and his glasses. In other words, his whole world. I've placed a photo down below so you can see what I've done, I really like it. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Now I'm on to see about crocheting him an envelope and then make a card to go inside of it. My MS doesn't let me write so I'll have to make it on the computer instead. But never fear, I will let y'all see what it looks like before I give it to him.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />

One was a crocheted envelope with a nice card inside inviting him out for dinner so he won't have to cook his own birthday meal, and the other was for one of those "things" that go on the arm of his easy chair with pockets that holds his remote, his glasses, his tissues or anything else he wants to cram in there.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong>So now I just need him to disappear so I can get to work on this and get it finished by Wed. night and get it wrapped before he wakes up Thursday morning. Anybody want to babysit a pretty big baby????? </strong><strong>He's going to be 63 years old, how is that possible? Shoot I'm only........I forgot, must have been a Senior moment. =)</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I suppose I'm going to have to use these late nights when Jay has gone to bed to get things all cut out and ready to sew tomorrow. He's so good about asking what I'm making and I just say 'something to talk about on my blog' so I think I'll be pretty safe. Check back in with me tomorrow and see how I'm doing. Night ladies, I'm off to work.</span></strong><br />

Going from one Giveaway Day to just a regular old day is pretty boring. So that means I had to actually do some work today. I had to sit down and write myself a letter of intent on presents that I still plan to make. Talking about a long list--but a much more interesting one anyway. Until I reminded myself that my husband has a birthday on December 9, do I have him anything? No. Do I have anything planned for him? No. Am I going crazy about now? Yes. I have stayed up tonight so I could go through some of my patterns and see if I could find something that just jumped out at me.......well, so far no luck. My husband is a real man, he pats me on the back when I make something and tells me how good it looks, heaven forbid if I ask him what it is. He cooks great and does all the cleaning as well as Martha Stewart does, but when it comes to yarn gifts, I am out of luck. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">So I am back to my patterns to see if I can find him something, unless somebody out there in blogland has a super idea they want to cast my way I will still be here in the morning. But trust me, if I find a great pattern, y'all will hear me roar. Night Ladies and I'm off looking.</span></strong>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219929428272057199.post-43442963820734024652010-11-30T12:41:00.002-07:002010-12-28T16:35:08.471-07:00We Have A Winner !!<strong><span style="color: black;">Firs</span><span style="color: black;">t off, I want to apologize for this notice being so late but I had a bad health problem last night and wound up in ER.

But it really is pretty bad when you have to make your own snow. Now to tell the truth, I was over at a friend of mine, her blog, and I happened to see that she had a snowflake on there that she had made. It was the cutest thing. Well, I decided to give it a try, and see what it looked like. I loved it ! </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Anyway, I'm posting a photo of mine so you can see how well it snowed--HaHa--at my house, plus I am posting the link to my friends blog so you can get her instructions on how to make your own. I hope you enjoy checking her blog out. Take care my friends.</span></strong><br />

Now how we were able to down two meals is beyond me but we did it. So after we just took it easy for the rest of the day, we went to bed. Wasn't that an exciting day? We really had a good time and Jay cooked us a great dinner, our lady that we took lunch to had such a good time laughing at Jay that she almost cried. I suppose we really all needed that nap more than we thought we did, we sure cooked pretty hard.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">But we had a good time and here it is Saturday and I still haven't done much of anything yet. I've been going through my stuff and trying to decide what will take the longest to make and start on that project next. I still have too many projects to make, oh what will I do?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I suppose I will do what every smart person does on a day like today.......be lazy!

I love these just as much as I love the other pair. I may decide to not give them away for Christmas after all!! Anyway, here is a photo of the finished pair and notice how the stripes came out, pretty funny looking isn't it? </span></strong><br />
<br />

<strong><span style="color: black;">This is a pair of tube socks, they are so quick to make and so comfortable to wear. They are just unbelievable on how comfortable they are to wear around the house and to sleep in. I am making another pair and I'm not so sure who will get this pair for Christmas this year. I only have one sock made but I am almost through with the second sock.</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: black;">Isn't this a cute color arrangement? It is a variegated yarn called Autumn by Red Heart. I love how the colors work out into stripes with no planning of my own. I'll put the photo up tomorrow when I finish the other one. If you are interested in making some of these here is the link to where you will find the pattern.</span></strong><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong>If you notice that you can make these really small like baby size they could be used for baby</strong> <strong>socks, or baby mittens. I have done both sizes and they have worked out really well, so give it a chance if you have time.</strong> </span><br />

I'm not going to give numbers out but YaYa Yarns sure has several listed, so some of you other ladies better get busy and get your names in here.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Subject change now. In case you haven't read my Sewing, Quilting and a bunch of Whatever blog, I mentioned that we are having an Easter Giveaway to help raise funds so we can get money to purchase Easter items for the VA patients. Now first off I would say you need to go to my other blog and read all about it, you can get there by clicking on my Star Quilt on the right sidebar and it will take you there. Very easy to get there and if you have anything to donate to our drawing I will put your photo and one of your item on here unless you'd rather not, I will do as you say.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I know you are very busy right now so think about it later, you can also let me know later. So I will say bye for now and try to think up some other item to make for the drawing. Take care my friend.</span></strong>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219929428272057199.post-37515499252776753822010-11-11T23:17:00.001-07:002010-12-28T16:49:32.920-07:00Giveaway !!!<strong><span style="color: black;">Now just to keep y'all from going crazy, I will let you know that I am still making and digging out things to go to the winner of my Giveaway. I have found so much to give as a prize I may have to have 2 of those people. But hubby says "No, you said one winner and that is what it needs to be." So, one it is. But you'd better not plan on doing anything on the 30th of November because after you see what I am sending you, well, let's just say you won't be able to sit still long enough for the postman to get to your house.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I suppose I should quit bragging and just remind you, leave your message on the original Giveaway post, I read each one and some of you ladies have gotten pretty crafty in your language. Anyway, I read each one and I am filing it in my "Giveaway" file and that's where they all stay until drawing day. So ladies---keep 'em coming!! =)</span></strong>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.com6
