I'm Back

I am happy to report I am better. The flu totally kicked my butt though. I have never been so sick, and I am thankful no one else got it. Kevin did a good job taking over and making sure things got done. I could not have done it myself.

It is funny how things can change in a week.

The dog learned a new trick: chase your tail.
Kevin is proud he taught him this. I was hoping for "sit" or "stay."

Mimi figured out something:
This must be how they get the holes in those donuts, right?

Here's what happens when you are forced to play with your brother all week:
You find a way to make the Wiggles into babies.

The kids like chapter books!
Bunnicula.

And finally, here is the big project I've been working on:
And, remember my big announcement???

Well, I had big plans to get an Etsy store going....I still plan on it, but it will be a bit delayed due to my illness. That flu really took away all my energy. I hoped to have a store to show.... I want to sell crochet things and maybe some sewn items. I have some crafty friends who I think can offer up some things too.

Have a good week!

Still Alive

I am on day 6 of the stomach flu. I think I am getting a little better. I have moments of wellness, and I can remember what my life used to be like....

The thing I miss the most is hugging and kissing my people....I can't wait to hold my kids!!

Stay healthy, get vaccinated, and kiss on your people!

Latest Project

This scarf and fingerless gloves were an easy project that took less than two hours to complete. Finding the perfect buttons was fun. I hope Aimee likes them.

Hopefully I will have another big project done by tomorrow. I have been working on it for 2 weeks now. I will post pics if I finish it!

And maybe I'll have a big announcement....
(No, I am NOT pregnant.)

Silly Kid

This boy loves his Papaw. Yes, Papaw has a moustache. Moe colored this on with several types of markers--some washable while others not--so, he still has some of his 'stache left even after some scrubbing.

It's raining today. Yuck-o. We are trapped indoors, and we are already feeling some cabin fever. I dread the upcoming months of cabin fever.

Have a great day!

Good Weekend!

Kevin hooked me up with some storage. You have no idea how happy this makes me. I have thousands of buttons. I adore buttons...especially vintage ones. Now, I have most all of them in a central spot.

Ralphie is recovering from his "snausages" poisoning.
I bought the pup some treats. We gave them to him all the time, and Kevin would often say in falsetto "snausages!" Well, we kind of noticed he looked like he was losing weight and from time to time he would vomit. We were concerned, but not overly so. And then one day, while pouring my coffee, I read the back of the treat bag, and it said :

Refrigerate after opening!

Oop! Maybe we aren't responsible enough to have a pet in our care? ;)

My brother and his wife just returned from vacation. They got me the coolest pendant:
And after returning, my brother learned he passed the bar!!! He gets sworn in later this month!!! I am so proud of him!

(Spoiler for Amanda--look away!!)

Here is what I finished up over the weekend:
It is for my dear friend Amanda! I hope she loves it. I love my granny shawl. :)

Have a great week!
