what I have been up to lately

Well, it has been awhile since I last posted. I have been doing alot. I went to Omaha, and Minneasota with Don and Travis to visit my friend Pam after the loss of her husband. I also went to a Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game, and the Rockies won, and we went to the Mall of America, that place is huge. Then I also went to Oregon to meet my online crochet friend Micki. I also met another friend from an old group that I was in who also crochets too. Her name is Yolie. while I was in Oregon, Micki taught me how to knit, so I have made a couple washcloths so far, but you know me, I pulled them out a few times to get them perfect. LOL. I have lots of pictures to share, and I also got to see the Oregon coast and we actually went on a total tour of the Heceta Head Lighthouse. It was awesome. Some of the pics I have to get from Micki, as my phone and camera batteries ran out. lol Oh, I also got to ride in the pace car here at the local track and I also went to see Mark Chesnutt at the Grizzly Rose here and got to meet him out back after the show. He was really nice and sweet to talk to. I am also working on some Christmas gifts and I need to make like 3 baby blankets. and some more crocheted washcloths for a friend that ordered them. I am keeping busy. lol

Mike's afghan that i put together.

This is the blanket that I put together for one of the crochet groups I am in. We all were getting the squares to make the afghan for the husband of the group owner that passed away. I started putting it together on Sunday night and finished on Monday. Now I just need to wash it and mail to Mike.

Pammy's angel

My friend Pam's husband Buzz passed away on Saturday morning. I will miss him and send my love and sympathy to her at this time. I got this pattern in my emails and made a few changes to it. http://www.favecrafts.com/Crochet/Angel-Ornament-Pattern I sent the angel to Pammy today in the mail. I hope it cheers her up as she has had several losses to her family this last six months. I did the angel in #3 red thread. I took the picture with my cell phone, so you can't see the color as well. It turned out well I think.

More Pics

New stuff i have been doing.

hi y'all. i have been bummed out as I have lost 2 friends this month. I have been crocheting to try to take the stress away. It has been so very hot here in Colorado though, so trying to stick to small stuff. I am almost finished with a round ripple, will show you the progress so far.

July 13

I started this throw and my doggie quickly adopted it. She wouldn't let me finish the border and then I couldn't do the weaving in of the ends for a while. She just wanted to sleep and fluff it up for herself. But I finally got a picture of it.

July already???

these are bookmarks. the filet heart one I used a bigger hook and #3 thread for, the small blue one is peaches and cream.

I figured that I better get on and make a post since it has been a month and a half. I have made a few things and some I forgot to take pictures of. some I still need to take pictures of. I hope that all is well with all of you. I am bummed out as this last week was the birthday of my grand daughter that passed away. I also have a few friends that I am constantly praying for. One is going to be with God soon. I miss her and chatting with her already. She is such a sweet woman. Always there to give help when she could. She has a very serious blood infection and they are expected to unplug the ventilator soon. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. Her name is Debbie McMahen. I will always remember her. i will post a few pics of some other things that I have taken pictures of.
