..LOTS AND LOTS OF CRAFTY TIME..

DURING CHRISTMAS I COULDN'T SHOW OFF SOME OF THE GIFTS THAT I HAD MADE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE HADN'T GOT THEIRS YET..I MADE THIS BLANKET FOR STEPHANIE(TINAS DAUGHTER)..AFTER I MADE TINA HERS STEPHANIE WANTED ONE TOO..I COULDN'T FIND THE PATTERN THAT I HAD USED FOR TINAS(IT WAS BEFORE I STARTED GETTING ORGANIZED WITH MY KNITTING)AND DIDN'T WRITE DOWN THE PATTERN NAME OR ANYTHING..:/..

LUCKLY I FOUND A PATTERN ON RAVELRY THAT WAS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE..

(BEVS DISHCLOTH SHAWL)

I HAVE HAD THE YARN THAT I KNITTED IT WITH FOREVER AND REALLY JUST WANTED TO GET RID OF IT..IT IS A FINE HOMESPUN YARN(WHICH I AM NOT TOO COMFORTABLE KNITTING WITH ANY KIND OF HOMESPUN)SO I THOUGHT I WOULD USE IT FOR THIS PROJECT..

HERE IT IS LAID OUT ON THE COUCH..I WAS WANTING TO MAKE IT BIG ENOUGH FOR HER TO COVER UP WITH IF SHE WANTED TOO BUT I THINK SHE MOSTLY JUST WANTED ONE FOR DECORATION..

I REALLY LIKE THE COLOR OF IT AND SHE LIKED IT TOO SO I GUESS THATS ALL THAT MATTERS..:):)..

I ALSO KNITTED HER A PAIR OF MITTENS..I MADE TINA A PAIR WHEN RAY AND I WERE IN DURING THE SEPTEMBER VISIT AND SHE LOVED THEM..THEN STEPHANIE TOOK TINAS ONE DAY AND DECIDED SHE WANTED A PAIR TOO..

I GOT THE PATTERN OUT OF THE BOOK THEY ARE LAYING ON..

(THE KNITTERS BIBLE KNITTING ACCESSORIES)

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I CAME ACROSS THIS PATTERN AND THOUGHT IT WAS SUPER CUTE..I MADE IT FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW..


I WAS KINDA IFFY ABOUT THE BOBBLES BECAUSE I HAD NEVER DONE THEM BEFORE BUT TO MY SURPRISE THEY WERE PRETTY EASY..

THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE BEEN TRYING OUT NEW THINGS WITH KNITTING AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MOST OF IT ISN'T AS HARD AS I PUT IT OFF TO BE..

I'M TRYING OUT MY OWN DESIGN WITH A KNITTING NEEDLE CASE AND PRACTICING MY DOUBLE KNITTING WITH THAT..I'LL KEEP YA POSTED ON HOW THAT IS COMING ALONG..:/..

WHEN RAY AND I WENT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS WE WERE BROWSING AROUND BEN FRANKLINS FOR SOME THINGS AND I CAME ACROSS A QUILT PATTERN I THOUGHT WOULD BE CHALLENGING FOR THIS YEAR..

I TOLD HIM I WOULD GET IT DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR(I GUESS WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS)..

I GOT ALABAMA DONE THE FIRST WEEK WE GOT BACK FROM CHRISTMAS IN WV..

THEN A WEEK LATER I STARTED ON ALASKA AND HAVE YET TO FINISH THAT ONE..HAHA..

I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY BUSY GETTING BABY SHOWER STUFF READY FOR CYNTHIA(WHICH IS HAVING A GIRL..!!..)AND JESSI(WHICH IS HAVING A BOY..!!..)THEY ARE GOING TO BE HAVING THEIR SHOWERS TOGETHER AT THE END OF MARCH IN WV AND THEN I AM GOING TO GO STAY WITH CYNTHIA IN KY DURING THE WEEK OF EASTER..YAYAYAYAYA..WE HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TIME TO EACH OTHER SINCE SHE HAD TOBIAH AND RAY AND I MOVED TO PA..WE LIVE 9 HOURS AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND HAVE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE NEED SOMETIME TO VISIT WITH ONE ANOTHER..

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GREAT UP HERE THE PAST COUPLE DAYS AND THEN TODAY WE HAD A COLD SPELL..I GUESS WINTER ISN'T OVER AFTER ALL..BOO..

ANNNNNNNNNNNNND..THANKS EVERYONE FOR PRAYING FOR MY MOM..SHE IS UP AND MOVING AROUND TODAY OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT RON RON SAID..:):):):):)..
