NEW PROJECT I AM WORKING ON!

I have decided to try something I have never done before.I am making a beadspread.It is made with size 10, crochet cotton thread, and a size 7, crochet hook.I know it will take a long time to make,but I am enjoying doing this pattern,it is totally made with chains and double crochet.I will be posting my progress here.

Here is number 1.

I started it on April 20th, this was taken on April 21st.

Number2.

This is my progress, through the 28th of April.

I will post more at a later date.Hopefully I will have new pictures and updates every few days, or at least once a week.So come on back to see what I have accomplished!

SORRY I HAVE BEEN AWAY SO LONG!

With everything going on around here I have not been able to be on the computer, much less being able to update my blog.Sorry!

 After my father-in-law passed away, we had so much to do, to get the succession started and now we are trying to get his house cleaned out.One of my brother-in-laws wants to move in it.

Our baby is growing!

He is crawling and walking around furniture and he eats anything you put in his mouth.lol He has 2 teeth and has just started to say Dad Dad! He weights 19lb14ozs.I still get to see him every other weekend.We just found out he is allergic to cats, and we have two, that he loves to play with,but sad to say, we will have to find new homes for them.Our baby is more important than our cats,but we will  miss them dearly.

I am working on a new large project.More about that later.

HAPPY EASTER!

Just a few words to say Happy Easter everyone.I hope your day is a special one.

 This is Donivan's first Easter,can't wait to give him a chocolate bunny!

 We will be spending the day with some of our children and grandchildren.Hubby will bar-b-que, weather permitting.

 Easter egg hunts for the grandchildren and of course lots of candy and sweets.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posting with a heavy heart.

It is with sadness that I write today.

My Father-in-law passed away on Monday night (02/25/08).

We will miss him dearly,our home seems so empty,he was living with us since October.

He was the best Father-in-law a woman could have.

He was 82 years old.

Please pray for us.

We had a visitor this weekend!

Isn't he precious?What you see is what you get,he always has that beautiful smile.The only time he cries is when he is hungry.Can't you tell he loves to eat.lol

No he is not punished his toy stand is just out of the way.lol

I can hardley believe he is six months old already!

Donivan and his Mom and Dad spent the weekend with us.I thought you may want to see how big he is getting.He is starting to crawl and he is cutting teeth.We really enjoyed having him and it was hard to say bye until they come back.We do get to see them every other weekend,but we miss them so much.So I had to give lots of hugs and kisses.

STITCH MARKERS RECEIVED--CORRECTED

It was brought to my attention that my previous post had some of the ladies addresses on the pictures.I have deleted that post and hope you all understand that it was not done intentionally.I am so sorry for the oversight.I have edited the photos and hope you understand.Thanks again for all the stitch markers the are very pretty and nicely done.

Thank you Lindsey,Risa,Franny,Angie,Abigail,Angela,Cathy,Kimberley,and Jackie.

WHY I HAVE BEEN AWAY

In October my father-in-law moved in with us,he has been very ill and takes a lot out of my husband and myself sometimes.It is almost like taking care of a baby,which I also do so my daughter can work,I have been taking care of Donivan since he was six weeks old.

 

Father-in-law and Donivan

In November my hubby got sick and that's not easy because I do not drive and I tried taking care of him,the baby and my father-in-law and the house and cooking.But God saw us through it .

Well it started in December,I had to have surgery and then I was just getting over that when I caught the flu as did hubby.

My father-in-law has alzhimers.In January he had pnumonia and was hospitalized and is still there.

I lost an Aunt and the next evening my Uncle(who were married) the last week of January and a sister-in-law a year to the day that I lost my sister Cindy.The 31st of January my sons trailer burnt and he lost everything.Thank God no one was hurt,they were not home when it started.

My father -in-law had to have surgery for an abcess in his lung and stayed 2 weeks in ICU and now they have him in the rehab unit so they can teach him how to eat again,he has had the feeding tube in his nose since his surgery.

The beginning of February I had my grandson Donivan for a week because he had the flu and it was to cold to take him in and out for his mom had to be to work at 7 am.

Then the second week of February I had him for 9 days and nights,because they moved back to New Orleans and needed to clean and paint inside the house,well they came pick him up last weekend and now I am one lonesome grandma.I will only get to see him every other weekend.But they are happy there so I guess I better get used to it.lol

 

 As everyone knows this is tax season and Bookkeeping and Taxes is what I do,so that has been keeping me very busy also.

I would like to tell anyone I owe exchanges to that I have not been hiding from you,I do have them packaged and ready to mail and will get them mailed as soon as I can and that IS A PROMISE.I am so sorry for all the delays,but if you have been reading this,I think you will understand why.
