Currently on my hooks......

Hello blogland and I hope you are having a super Saturday. Mine is starting out slow and I'm happy to see it stays that way. We go, go, go all week with school, teaching, piano lessons, homework, cooking, laundry, and dinners, its soooo nice not to have a schedule today. Am I right?

I have sorely missed updating my blog with the current little whatnots that I always seem to have on my hooks. You know me, unless there are 2-3 projects going my crochet ADD needs are just not being met so with further ado, here are some of my current WIPs and FOs:

I showed you the makings of one of these lil guys a few weeks back and here one is. I've currently made three and a pig, but they've all been snatched out of my grasp before I could even get a pic.

I am working on these two scarves. The first is a Harry Potter scarf for my middle DS. Halloween is fast approaching and he decided on HP. He will be really cute and I'm glad I finally get to crochet a costume part. The second is from a free pattern I picked up at Michael's a few weeks back. It's a really mindless pattern but look at how cute the stitch close-up is. Looks like I'm really doing something fancy, doesn't it. I am using the Michael brand yarn too...Impeccable from Loops and Threads.

Enjoy this beautiful Autumn day, your family, and your friends........

Keeping busy.......

Hello all! Welcome! Welcome! It is a beautiful sunny day here in the heartland. The sky is cerulean blue, the air is crisp, and the breeze gentle and caressing. Who could ask for anything more? It does make one stop though and realize how fortunate one is. Here I live a clean, safe little portion of our world and it is sooo easy to lose track of how hard so many of us have it. It is, of course 9/11. Who can ever forget? Where were you? Do you remember the horror? The disbelief? The overwhelming sorrow? But, I also remember neighbors holding hands. friends hugging each other, strangers saying "God bless you and God bless America. I have shed my tears this morning(though there maybe a few more...), said my prayers for the families, and thanked my maker for shedding such grace in my life.


Here is something I have been looking for forever! My youngest DS is a huge Angry Bird fan and I've finally found the perfect pattern. You can find it here.

Here is my Blooming Flower Cushion reveal:

Now don't ask me what I'm going to do with it or if anyone would want it, but right now it sits in my family room and I get puzzled looks from visitors when they spy it and pick it up. I think they need to get used to large amounts of color too!

Finally I whipped up these two backpack buddies. The lil pink one was sold as soon as my hook stopped and I am carrying the brown one on my bag. You can see it in the back ground of the picture. Dosen't the brown Uglee well with Vera Bradley? LOL

Have a super Sunday and next I'll be sharing some posts about our latest RVing adventure!
