Left over yarn from other projects

 With projects that have left over yarns I like to make doll hats and scarfs.. my daughter loves to have different outfits for her babies.It is  neat way to use up scraps of yarn ,

Mermaid blanket

These little blankets are so comfortable and the kids love them, I have had a huge order on them- right now I am working on a fish version for the those who don't want the mermaids. They really make great gifts and will definitely keep the winter chill away.

Tips for Tuesday

After the kids went out the door to school -- decided it was time to groom my hairy kids my 3 dogs and well tried to get both cats but only got one done..Never did get the cat to stick around for a picture. In a house with that many pets one needs to have ideas on how to get ahead of the hair--Animal hair and yarn don't mix-I usually got to the dollar store stock up on their check garment rollers---for a few bucks you can stay ahead of things-- plain tape words too -- we have an attachment on our vacuum for pet hair so yep I spend a lot of time  brushing-vacuuming --and attacking things with sticky tape...

Daylight Savings

It was a dark this morning getting the kids up for school. I wanted nothing more then too curl up in my aphgan and sleep. Now the kids are in school --getting organized for the day. I wasn't feeling well this weekend so while I was laying low I went thru patterns to get ready for spring and summer... time to pack away the heavy scarves and winter things--- onto getting ready for light weight scarfs and crocheted beach bags. Done with my coffee after I get the dogs  settled into the morning going to approach my stash of sprintg and summer wear --- Summer goes fast-- need to prepare so we can enjoy it the best we can.... I love it being lighter in the evening --

Gloomy Wednesday

We had a small hint of spring then we are back to the chill , yesterday I went to a funeral and it was cold in the cemetery. I could have used one of these scarves to brave the cold wind.

Sun Catchers

Between making a roast beef Sunday dinner and keeping up with muddy dog prints from the lovely spring weather I made these cute sun catchers. The inside is old compact discs that I don't use or need ... recycled into Sun catchers... quick and easy and fun...

Saturday --Lazy day

Today my day has started out with enjoying my coffee while my 10 yr old is quietly doing a puzzle. My two collies are as close to me as they can be enjoying a morning snooze. I can hear the geese flying over head and we can see grass as the snow disappear.


My thoughts are on crocheting Easter baskets and Easter bunny pins and butterflies....  This picture I found online-- is so cute and easy to do
