Another Power Outage

Hey All~
As I sit here powering up my little battery operated lamp I am trying to figure out the perfect place to put it so I can continue to knit the blanket I am working on for a friend. There is so much stuff I want to do in the next few months for charity (with my groups) it makes me want to start lots of projects all at once. Here's my little bird Maxine helping me with the blanket

Hi

Hello to all my friends and followers here. Sure has been a while!! I said that the last time too eh?!!? It has been a real busy and rough time for me the last year but it is getting better. I am hoping to get back into all my favorite activities. So far I am, but slowly. I am working on a hat for Save the Children's Warm-Up America campaign to help babies live. I am also catching up on my craft group emails. I am reading a bunch lately also. Spent several weeks in va bch this summer as well. I will post a pic of my hat when it is done. Keep up the crafting....

WOW-it sure has been a long time

Hello to all my blog readers!
I have been so busy through the holidays and I went back to school so my crafting has suffered a bit. I have made 2 pair of baby booties, 6 washcloths, 1 pot holder and 1 knit hat. I am working on a crochet reggae hat and another knit hat for a friend of my husband. School is going well just seem to be never ending homework. I will have pictures of my hats as soon as I am done with them. I am going to also make some dish scrubbies with my mom or at least attempt them. It should be easy enough for me and then I can show her. I joined bev's charity challenge and have made a goal of 100 items for this year. So far I have 10, I better get moving. I had to leave my AC4C craft group due to not enough time to keep up with emails, projects and postage to mail those projects. I did find a charity close to home that I can donate to through that group so I will still be doing crafts for charity purposes. Do you ever wonder why crafting seems to take a back seat when you want it in the front? Until next time....

What I have been up to lately....

Well, I have been so busy lately I almost forgot I had a blog....I started going back to school and also a part time job which of course I am not used to doing so I am exhausted much of the time. But enough about that....Here are some pics of what I have done lately....

The tube socks turned out great. They are knitted and I loved them. The grafting part was a little tough for me but I will learn it. I tried a new pattern for a 7" square for AC4C and it turned out pretty good also-it is crochet. I made this miniature wreath for Ships Projects for the Ornament "drive" they are doing to send overseas. I am going to try to make a neck gaiter to go along with this ornament. The final picture is of my first adult slipper ever. My daughter decided she wanted a pair of slippers since I was making all these baby booties so I tried my hand at making one. I don't have the match done yet but am working on it. I made a mistake on this one so unless I make the same mistake on the second one they won't match so I will be making a third haha. I will post when that is taken care of. I am in the process of making a baby blanket for my cousin's baby and finishing up these slippers for my daughter as well as of course homework and my job. I will post again soon....Sorry it has been so long....Hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world.
