Its been awhile only a few years lol.....

So I am going to try to update this blog with my finished projects, I have learned so much these past few years I am so greatful! My  husband and I are doing great, in fact we will become 1st time grandparents in Dec. and we are looking forward to holding our grandson for the first time. What a blessing this is for our family. Our boys are doing awesome, our oldest graduated college first one of us to do that was such an awesome moment and of course we are so very proud of his accomplishments! Our youngest just started his last year of highschool so weird to say that! Seems like we should still be loading the kids in the van and going to baseball games....I cant say where did the time go, we made the most of it the best we could. Wouldnt of had it any other way.

Ok enough of that here is my latest granny afghan, I am so very happy with the way this turned out!

My latest afghan

I started yet another afghan, and I still haven't finished the others. I just couldn't help it the yarn just jumped into my cart and demanded to be made into a afghan. Yup thats exactly how it happened. Its just a basic granny squares nothing fancy. They are a little over 12" so that will make a nice sized afghan, which we wanted for our queen sized bed.

kitchen towels

I have been wanting to make something for my other mom for the longest time so I finally did. It was funny I had been working on these, then randomly in an email she had said that she could use these. Quite funny what are the odds of that happening. At first I was nervous making my other mom something because to me she is a crochet goddess and I am a beginner. All I have left to do is sew on the buttons. For some weird reason though the color of the tops came out darker in the picture, I did the toppers in red hearts light sage green. I also made her something else but I can't post that as its a secret until she gets it lol.

I call her my other mom because in our family we drop the in law titles. Family is family for us just the way it is.

Heres the link I used for these towels.......

I'm down for a bit

Uck......I am having dental issues right now so will be down for a bit. I have been blessed with one wall banger of an infection that is taken a bit to get rid of. I am also on all sorts of meds but figured I better post while I am somewhat lucid. So far the meds are helping it took awhile before they kicked in but finally they did.  The worst part is I had to put the crochet down because I kept messing up, I just cant think straight.

I know I will have to have a couple of teeth pulled, really not looking forward to that as I am terrified of dentist so that should be real fun. I actually pity the dentist lol.
