Hello Friends..

Hello friends,

I have been coming to my blog and checking to see who has been visiting me.  I have been making dishcloth's in my group with a lady that is sending links each Wednesday to LEARN A NEW STITCH.  I capitalized that so you could see the name of what we are doing.  I'm not screaming. :)

I am going to try and match up the link to each cloth I've made, and share pictures to you all, so maybe you would like to make some of them yourself.

I think I told you all that I have a new grandson.  He will be 9 month's old the 15th of July.  He is growing so fast, and learning almost faster than us old folks can keep up with him.   He is still in the crawling stage, but he has been walking holding on to things for a good while now. 

My DH is disabled, and can only walk with support, and our grandson plays with his rolling walker and pushes it around walking.  He sure has fun with it.  He thinks he has graduated his toys, and now our furniture is his toys. 

As you can see we grandma's are always bragging on our grandchildren, and I have 3 in my old age.

Group hug, they are all precious. 

Thank you for choosing my blog and stopping by for a few....

Kitchen Contest

One of the moderators at Thread'n'Stitches yahoo group is hosting a Kitchen Contest.  I have already added 9 pictures of things I've made to the album.  I will share some of the things I've made recently.  Two of them are home cooked food items which I will not share. Come join in our fun. 

Our weather has been unusually warm and just cool some days.  We had one little snow flurry go through, and so far no ice which is unusual for our area of Missouri.

Spring is just around the corner, and flowers are beginning to peek their heads through the cold soil. 

Take care, and I hope you enjoy seeing my work.  Let me know by sending me a little message.  I love hearing from those that stop by my blog.

Crocheting Hats

Hello Family and Friends,

I have been crocheting hats.  I've made 3 adult hats, and one for my grandson.  He wanted an Iron Man Hat, so I did a search until I found one that suited him.  He can hardly wait for the temp. to get cold enough to wear.

School has been out for deer season last week, and this week.  They are sleeping over as often as mom and dad will let them, and of course us too.  They would stay here around the clock if we would allow them. :)  The adult hats I've made you can find the pattern on Ravelry ( free download ) French Vanilla Winter set.  It also has a scarf.  I will be making a couple scarves to go with the hats.  I've also made a couple spiro scrubby's.  You can find the pattern by entering in the search Spiro Scrubby by Judith Prindle 3/05.  I don't have a picture of one, so will make one to share a picture. 

Now to show you some pictures.
