What I'm working on now.

Ok, Time to update everyone on what I am working on right now. I have in progress: A Round Ripple afghan in greens and white for my oldest daughter for Christmas.

I've finished one crocheted tassel hat, and am working on making 4 more. Mortimer is such a helpful little fellow, don't you think?

Plus, I've cast on my size 8's to make another knit tassel hat in homespun. I'll post a picture as soon as the camera batteries recharge.

Some Things I've made over the last few years

Wow ... it's been 3 years since I've been here

Holy Crow! It's been three years since I've been here to my blog. In that time, I've had my oldest graduate from high school and turn 18, my youngest turned 6 over the summer, and is now in First Grade. My 12 yo is now in the Seventh grade in MIDDLE school and I have a 10yo in Fifth Grade. He'll be in middle school next year. *sobs* They are all growing up and getting big. I'm getting so old.

I've been crocheting, loom knitting, sewing and crafting up a storm in the last three years. I'll try and get pictures and separate posts up soon. I've got a new computer. I've payed forward my old computer to another single mom.

My divorce was final 3 years ago, and I'm still single and happy about it. :o) He's remarried (she's an idiot) but he's not my problem any more .. now he's her problem ~laughs~

Oh yes .. before I forget ... I taught myself to KNIT with NEEDLES!! Yay Me! ~claps~ Wow, I sound just like London Tipton on The Suite Life ~shakes head~ such is the life of a mom with pre-teens I suppose.

Okay, time to get up from here and finish vacuuming before the day gets away from me.

~hugs~

I'm horrible at journaling

ACK ... I'm really, really horrible at keeping a journal up to date. Most of the time I forget I even have a journal .. and when I do remember, I think, "Ok, I need to make an entry today" and then I let life (and procrastination) get in the way.

Three weeks ago, my aging computer finally bit the dust. The hard drive gave up the ghost, so to speak. So I was off line for quite a while .. let me tell you, I was going insane without being able to check on things over at the 'Ville, use the local bus website, check on Joann's site... etc. You should have seen me, it was pathetic ... I would wake up in the mornings, go over to the computer, turn it on and pray really hard that the thing would boot up and not blue screen me. But no such luck. (heavy sigh) I didn't know what I was going to do, as I could not afford a new computer, and upgrading was out of the question ... would be cheaper to buy new. Then my best friend called me, she was getting a new computer from her husband, and did I want her old one? I could have cried from joy (if I cried lol). A week later, she had her new pc, and I was bringing my new-to-me baby home!

While I was off line .. I managed to crochet quite a bit ... here are a few of the things I made while gone ... Lots of Halloween decorations, a few toys for the children, a few afghans for family and friends new babies, a pentacle rug for myself (At the bottom) and I started crocheting for Christmas gifts ... not going to post those pics as I don't know if the recipients read my blog LOL. And I started an afghan for my children to take to school in February for the fund-raiser auction. That is going to be the snowflake afghan from the Art of Tangle website. I'll post some pictures of that as soon as I get more blocks done.

sorry I haven't posted in a while

sorry I haven't posted in a while .. I've been busy with court stuff and getting kids out of school for the summer. I've been busily crocheting though .. and have several things done ... I tested a puppy dog pattern for a talented designer on Crochetville. I tested a set of butterfly wings for another talented designer on the same site ... I've crocheted a Seraphina shawl for myself in HomeSpun Gothic, and am currently making a round ripple afghan for my baby sister .. she's having her first baby in September. I'm also working on gifts for my soon to be three year old's birthday in two weeks. Busy, busy, busy.
