2005 Christmas ornaments

Hello Folks,

  Heres the pic of my 2005 christmas ornaments Im giving out this year. So if you get an ornament from me this is what your getting:) They are so cute and fun to make. I really enjoyed making them.

  I have not been around lately because AOL is having issues again! It seems everytime I want to add an entry I have to clear out all my files and clear my footprints. So while AOL is having issues (not problems) Ill be writing entries very sparingly.boohoo:(

  But Ill stay on them to fix this. I have alot to put up on my journal I just hope I can do this year! lol

Man you will not believe it but I cant seem to add an entry to my journal. Only with Instant message form. So here goes my entry for you today.
I cannot add or edit entryies to my journal so this is the only way I can communicate to you all right now. Ill contact AOL and see what the issues are.
I have some pics of items Ive been working on especially the ornaments. Ive also been working on dishcloths all this summer. I think Ive made enough to give everyone at least 2 this year:)
Im going to send my pic of the leaf pic I took while in Massachusetts I just love it and thought it was worth another look see:) well I tried and it seems I cant send pics in an instant message format. Sorry

Im trying to post an entry to my journal. I hope this works:) Lets give it a try.
Ive been busy with working on scarves for www.CrochetwithDee.com and its been great fun! Ive really enjoyed using the Lion Brand Homespun yarn for these scarves. I did write to Lion Brand about my little problem as requested by Ilana but I have not heard back as of yet. I will keep you all aware when I do.
Well Im not used to using this Instant Message to add to my journal so if this entry is cockeyed now you know why:)

Doing better:)

  Well Ive been gettting encouraged to complete my knitting:) Thanks Dee! So Im trying to work on the socks every night for a few minutes at a time. Im going to complete these socks if it kills me!!

  Ive finished making www.crochetwithdee.com scarves. Ive made 2 so far. When I made her first scarf I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn and only used one skein to make one scarf. Now Im having to use 2 skeins to make one scarf. They must have shortened their skeins some I think but they cost the same!! Oh well they are going to a great cause. I hope you all are making a few scarves for your local charity.

  Well have a blessed day!

My Peach and Teal squares

Folks,

  Heres my pics of the Peach and Teal squares we at www.HooksnGrannies.com  are making for Cheri who has been diagnosed with cancer. I think the afghan will be absolutely beautiful:) I had the hardest time getting yarn in Teal. I went everywhere I could here in Vegas to locate the yarn, but I did get some Blue Teal Ombre so I made flowers out of it. Thats the second image you see. I made the square up. I do hope its ok:) Im sending them off this week.

   I just thought you might like to see what Ive been working on:)

What Im working on now:)

  Well here is my next scarf for Crochet with Dee's race to '60 scarves in 60 days' scarf race:) Fun huh? I hope your all making at least one this November and then donate it to a charity of your choosing. And dont forget to tell Dee at www.crochetwithdee.com so she can keep track.

  I ran out of this particular yarn color and need to go to JoAnns after church tomorrow. What an excuse that is :) I actually need yarn! I like it so much I might as well get a few skeins more. Excuses... excuses... wow what would I do without them:) lol

   Ill see you all later Have a blessed day and night:) Whoopie!!!!

update: I thought I would give you the pattern Im using to make this scarf. So you can try it out and see how easy it is to make a scarf. The pattern is :

ch 26 for the foundation then dc in second ch from the hook. Dc across you should have 25 Dc. turn ch2 and then do a Fpdc around post of dc on first dc on last row. Then dc on top of next dc.(Fpdc in next stitch then dc on top of next dc) across . You should finish with a dc on top of ch 2 of previous row. just repeat this till you get the desired length you want. Well I hope this makes since to you if not just email me and Ill try and explain it better:) You can tell Im not a designer.

  Oh yea I used Lion brand Homespun yarn with a K hook

TAAAA DAAAAAA

Folks,

  Here it is! Its finally gotten cold enough for me to have a nice cup of HOT tea. Ive been drinking cold tea all spring and summer long. I got up today and I was so cold or really chilled that I made my first cup of hot morning tea. Now to be honest I have had hot tea in the evening when I go out.

  Can you see the steam from the tea Im drinking? Its from a box of tea I bought when I visited Sturbridge, MA.They sell it at the Publick House in their bakery.( Boy I would love to have one of their pumpkin muffins to go with this tea!) Its called Harney&Sons  you can reach them at http://www.harney.com/ they make a variety of teas and items to go with tea. Im drinking their Cinnamon Spice tea. Its fantastic, smells and taste just like cinnamon. Its like having a stick of cinnamon in the tea! Try it if you like cinnamon.

  Well I just wanted to share with you my first cup of winter tea.

Boy Hero Doll

Here it is:) This is for my grandson Riley for Christmas. He wanted a Hero doll. So how do you like him? He was fun to make. I finished him in 3 days. I had to go to the store and buy felt for his chest emblem and his belt or he would have taken 2 days to make:) I sure hope he likes him!

  I just thought you would want to see him. I already showed you the grandaughters bed dolls in an earlier journal.

                       Have a very blessed day!

  Heres Dee with the scarf I made for '60 scarves in 60 days' campaigne. If you want to help just crochet or knit a beautiful scarf up. And donate them to your charity of choice.

  Im going to make a few more, you all have till the end of November. Just email Dee or visit her at her site at www.CrochetwithDee.com and let her know how many you have made. I think this will be alot of fun and very fullfilling.

Im working on some squares for an afghan for a young woman who has cancer. The colors are in Peach and Teal. I have had the worst time finding Teal. But I did locate some in Blue Teal Ombre and Im making flowers out of it. As soon as I make a few Ill take a pic and let you all see them.

  Have a very happy day!
