What's new???

This is my little snowman. He sits in front of a 40 gallon fish tank.

Are ya getting ready for the Holidays???? There is always sooo much to do. So little time. I am trying to get back in the swing of things. Hopefully there will be more blog posts.

One thing I made was this " Two Sticks" Cable Knitting Bag from http://keepitsimpledesigns.net My local yarn shop has some of there stuff.

I know the colors are very summery. I bought the yarn in the summer. I think it turned out cute. I used bulky yarn.

Canning Tomato's

So far 25 quart size jars.

Canned tomatoes are sooo delecious in the winter time. We put them in stews, soups, and of course chilli.

Cute tea pot . I have a small collection of them. I really love these chairs. Very comfortable. You won't believe but they came from a yard sale. 2 matching chairs from a local sale for 50 bucks.

Some pretty flowers from the front of my yard.

My pretty babies. Not the best picture. But Ohhhh so sweet.

Fun with Cotton and Cherries

For some reason I love to make dishcloths. It must be the feel of cotton. I found this cute pattern. So I had to knit a few . It is on the dishcloth Boutique site.
Plus I had to have a few Cherries. They really make me smile. Such sweet treats.

Just bursting with flavor.

I have been on a lot of medicines lately so I am craving foods. Cherries seem to help with the sweetness factor. Plus I am still able to get them here for around $1.99 a pound. So I am enjoying them.

This one I use 2 different colors. It kinda reminds me of a circus. Ya know Dumbo colors.

I keep running out of stitch markers. So I decided to make a few more. They are soo easy to make.

Wow is it the 4 th of July!!

I have been very busy for the month of June.My parents and I went visiting family down the Ohio river. They live in a national forest in the middle of no mans land. These are my uncles cows.

We put flowers on the graves. This is the old church that my grandma Stella used to go to church. She was raised in a little log cabin down the road a ways.
I heard so many story's . My grandparents only had horse and buggy for years.

The Ohio River.

Went to Amish Country in Central Ohio. LOVE LOVE the country. So many things to see. I only took 2 yes 2 pictures. What was I thinking. There are alot of Amish villages around central Ohio. They sell baked goods, wood furniture. All kinds of things. Meats and Cheeses.

Then at the end of June I was in the hospital. BIG TIME SCAREY. Doctors say more tests to be done. Fun Fun.

Not much knitting or crocheting hopefully more soon.

Happy 4 Th of July Everybody!!!

Plants and Socks and a Puppy too!

My husband loves his Japanese maple tree. The little yellow plants are hosta's. Plus I have some Lamb's Ear. Pretty cool Huh. Sweetie Pie is growing leaps and bounds. She is at her terrible 2's. Tearing up her toys. Thank God for toys though. The only time you can get a good picture of a puppy is when they are sleepy.

My first pair of knitted socks. They took months, cause I kept finding other projects to do. I really loved making these. Kay the owner of my LYS has helped me soooooo much. I had no idea how to do these socks. She was patient and taught me how.

I gave these to my handicapped sister-in-law to keep her little feet warm.

My Lucky Day at a Garage Sale

Look what I found at a Garage Sale in eastern Ohio. Guess what I payed for each set??????? Can ya take a guess?????



I pain 50 cents each. Wow!!!!! Yeah that's right 5 bucks for all. These days garage sales RULE!!!!!! If you can see in the plastic baggie is a j crochet hook, stitch markers, plus guards for knitting needles. I have been looking for double pointed knitting needles. Plus did ya see the double crochet hook ( crohook).

So I love to make crazy yarn bags. They are sooooo much fun. Anything goes.

This one as you can see is green's. Bamboo handles too.These bags are handy to make. I held 3 yarns together for this one.

Pretty plants from my flower garden. More hosta's of course.

Happy Memorial Day !!!!!!
