Morning all................

 

Yesterday was a rough day....

 It was beautiful out. Sun shinning.. .bit of a breeze in the air... birds picking at the ground looking for bugs and worms.... my dogs laying in the sun soaking up the warmth....and the lovely blue clear sky over our house makes for a lovely start to the day.

Just wish I hadn't been crocheting a burial bag for my sons guinea pig.... :(

Yep.... our dear sweet 'Lucky' passed away.   All our  hearts were so sad... but my poor David... *sigh*  just heart broken!
Later we had a  funeral for him... and placed him in the yard around the Iris bed where our other animal family is.
This is the part of pets I hate..... *sigh*

... Anyway...... After that I worked on another afghan.
I want to make several of these particular afghans ... for gifts and to sell.

Okay... back to work.
Have a fabulous day all!
God Bless

New Afghan.......

~I really like this Afghan pattern~

Started this Friday at a Baseball Tournament....finished it last night.
This may just be my new favorite blanket pattern! It reminds me so much of my beautiful Aunt.....who taught me to crochet. It has the very first stitch she ever taught me (the granny square) and the first design (the ripple)
She would have loved this blanket!
I miss you Aunt Joycie!!!

 

A day in the country.........

This morning I look out my sitting room window while enjoying a cup of coffee....and this is my scenery!

~A sweet little fawn nursing
~A Turkey picking for bugs just a few feet from its nest!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!

Sun is shinning... nice and warm outside... birds are all about... and there is just a slight breeze today.   What a peaceful day out here in the country!   Sitting here with my coffee... getting a few things done on the computer and looking at getting some crochet projects done.   Thought I would share a couple of pics. 

This is a shirt Patrick and I made for his girlfriend for her birthday.

The first year they started dating.. him... his sister and I made his girlfriend the amount of shirts she was old.  So now each year he makes her a new one for he collection.  :)

This one is just a fun shirt for their graduating year.

 

This is a Baby Round Ripple Blanket I made for a friend of Ken's that he works with... whos wife just had a baby.  I love this pattern.... its my 'go to' pattern for baby blankets!

Have a great day all.........
