A new Uglee.....

Hot! Hot! HOT! The high is supposed to be 100 degrees and who knows how high the heat index will go. This is summer's last big push and just in time for the last week of summer. So far our Labor Day weekend is going to be low key. Just relaxing and some family time.

I have kind of lost some of my crochet mojo this past month. With DD leaving for college and her afghan finished up, I've been at a loss at what projects to do or start.

I started this  lil' guy about a month ago and just finished him up last night. I used my Baby Uglee pattern and may call him Mugsy Uglee.

How many of you read the Attic 24 blog? I was perusing through it the other day and saw this pattern. It caught my fancy and I started working on this aimlessly in the evenings. Sometimes I like it, other times I don't. Hmmmmmm....the verdict is still out on this project.

Stay cool, dry, or safe wherever you are!

Full speed ahead!

What a busy, busy time thiese last few weeks have been. Job oppurtunities, kids leaving for college, school starting...whew. If life dosen't slow down; I'll need one of those neck supports, because I'll get whiplash watching my life whip by.

First things first.....Taylor my second child and only daughter left for the University of Kansas on Friday. We all went down and moved her in and lo and behold she called today and is doing well. Now mind you, she is only 32 miles away(it takes us about an hour to get door to door tho, traffic is terrible in that college town.)but it feels like a jillion. I miss her but am excited and so hopeful that she has a good experience and finds something she can be passionate about. Here is her afghan I made for her. Rock chalk! Jayhawk! Go KU!

Next my sister is about to become a grandmother for the first time and she also turns 50 this....she is in for a lot of changes. Hee! hee! So anyway here is the Baby Starghan I made my first great-niece(don't know if that's what I call her or not???)

Lastly,

I leave you with cute pics(at least to me! ) Of my 2 youngest on their and my first day of school.
Hope you had a super Sunday!

And the winner of my Back to School giveaway is......
