Score!

Under Stuffed

Chuckle, chuckle!  I think this here football is a tad under stuffed.  I squished the stuffing toward the center, the ends need more stuffing.  This is my first attempted at making this crocheted football.  I found the pattern in Crochet World - October 2004 edition.  Looked easy enough as it was labelled “beginner“.   Everything was [...]

Holiday in the Bathroom

My brother did a wonderful job on the bathroom this weekend.  New tile floor, new cabinet, new mirror, new lights (a little bright right now, need lower watt bulbs) new trim and new paint.  The bathroom is the size of a matchbox so it was kinda hard getting everything into one picture shot.   I’m glad it’s [...]

Why I Otta….

 call your Mother!!  Here’s the rest of the story….   I got up extra early today to “wheel” out my donation boxes  to the curb so that Volunteers of America could pick them up.  Why so early?  Well, on their handy dandy card they mailed me, they said to have the stuff ready and visible by 8:00 a.m. [...]

PR

Hey all!  PR= progress report.  The above pic is a rather crappy one, but since these are “works in progress” I figure so is my photography.   Updates:  As you can see, I’ve started and I’ve completed three (3) mitred squares for our knit group’s mitred square dance project.  Our group is well underway in making really [...]

Knitters Fantasy 2007

This morning I shot out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to a blaring radio.  Nearly, scared the living lights out of me.  I was so sound asleep.. zzz.. zzz.  So, like I always do I rolled over and went back to sleep.  About a 1/2 hour later, whamo!, up awake… and OH MY GOD I’M LATE!  Well…. [...]

Happy Birthday Dear Friend of Mine

This is from yesterday, part deux.  After the book signing with Yarn Harlot, I met my friend Renelle and her kids over at the C-h-e-e-s-e-c-a-k-e Factory for dinner.  We celebrated a little early for Renelle’s birthday… which is TODAY!  No foolin’!  She’ll tell you “Pla-eeze, I’ve heard them (jokes) all before”.   Anyhow after a most [...]

She strolled in like a Rock Star…

Today I went to the Yarn Harlot’s book signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village.   I left the house by 12:30n thinking, Oh.. I’ll get there in plenty of time to look around, take my time.  As soon as I got in there shortly after 1-ish, the area where we were to sit… was filling up fast!  [...]

Let the Good Times Roll

Progress! I worked on the FBB last night while watching DWTS.   It’s hard to see the inside right now because I have it folded in half for this picture.  I did manage to find (I think) the right sized handles for this FBB.  I also picked up a happy java fabric print to go on the [...]
