mother day

Hope everyone had a great mothers day.   I heard from both girls.

Missing in Action

I have been missing in action and forgot about my blog.   Seems like life likes to get in the way.   This past year things in my life have came unglued and had to step back from some things.   Had some hard lessons to learn.   We are back on the right track now I hope.   Craft fairs are started back up again.   I missed one this weekend becaure of the snow storm.  Kevin didn't want me out in it so we both stayed home and had a great day.    I have finished two Afghans both for wedding that was on march 1 and march 2.   got one more wedding this year that we know about which will make four by the end of July.... three of them are all ready done.    Now I am working on a baby afghan for a girl and she would like it by may so don't have to rush on it.   
  This semester I have been teaching classes at the college here.   We just finished the crocheting class and we have three more weeks of the knitting class.   I have to admit I really do enjoy helping others learn these crafts and keep them going.   I hate it when people tell me they are a dying off. 

This is one of the afghans for the wedding on March 1th.   A very special friend got married and hope she  and her new hubby like cudding under it.

 I have also started a parttime job which is keeping me busier than I wanted some weeks there is more than others and mothers day is coming up so you may only find me at the card counters tring to keep them full.  

april is gone

I can't believe that April is almost over now.   Today it was just plain hot out.    I have been working on craft fair items.   I did a show last saturday and Have another one this coming sat.    Then get to take sunday of and go see my mom.  
That means unloading when show is done and getting ready for the rest of the weekend.   load and unload is going to happen a lot.....lol

Spring is here

the weather is warming up out side.   my tulips are blooming.   I did a craft fair last weekend and have two coming up in april.   it is fun to be working on something other than christmas items.   Still have a few ideas that are swimming around in my head to make now.   I will let it out when i can figure how to make it.   more to come on this at a later time.  I hope try making them soon.

craft fair are starting

I am starting craft fairs for the year.   The first one is this weekend.     Then I have 2 in the month of April so far. So have been busy getting some knitting and crocheting done for it.    I have the first baby afghan half finished for my order.   Daughter is so nice to me and takes orders for my work at least three or four times a year.   So I now also have to make four towels for a gal.    She comes to craft fairs and buys them and when she needs more she gets me the supplys to make them.  
  I have been playing around making some jewerly it has been fun and enjoying making the earrings.   I never thought that I would like to work with beads.  It has turned out to be fun.  But cuts into my knitting time.  
Have gotten 3 bags crochet and ready to go for the shows.  Now I need to go get some balloons so that i can display them on saturday.   I will put the balloons in the bags and they will hold them up and looks good on the tables.

baby afghans

I have started the afghan that i was ask to make.   It is going to be in white and pink.  I may even have enough to make two by the time the yarn is used up.   I did the first five or so rows in white then started the pink.   Will get pictures when i get some taken.
I also have been working on the tweety afghan.   Trying to get at least two rows a day.  
Will only take me two months to finish it if i do the two rows each day.

crocheting classes

This week will be week four of my crocheting class.   I started them all out on a simple dishcloth patterns. 
They all have finished at least one dishcloth and have move right along to other projects.   I got one that started on an afghan and another one made fingerless gloves.   they all have caught on right away  It is fun to watch as they catch it and move on to bigger projects.
