Last day of January 2012

Well this is the last day of January 2012. I have been crocheting as much as I can. I have finished off one skein of yarn on my sweater. I have been working on a baby outfit for the Dr I work for. I have to get some yarn to finish it. I also have another baby outfit to make for another Dr in our office. He is expecting his 4th child.
We recieved an invitation to a wedding for our Pastors son. We won't be able to attend, but I want to make them something. I will probably make them a crochet picture. The wedding is in Ga on a thur. I cna't take time off work to go, plus right now we don't have the money for a trip.
I'm going to get off here. Get my shower and do some searching for a pattern.

Well this was a busy monday. Didn't have much breathing room today, but it went quick. Woke up this morning in a foul mood, then my hubby ask if I am going to quit smoking today. I said yeah right.
I spent most of the weekend crocheting. I have a baby outfit half done. going to work on it some tonight. will post a picture as soon as I have it finished.

Long Thursday

As soon as I got to work this question was posed, "what is your guess of baby sex and weight?" The Dr I work for became a grandpa again today. His son's baby was born at 7:14am. Mom was at the hospital 20 mins before the baby arrived. Well anyway, I guessed girl 8lbs 7oz, I have said this is a girl through most of the pregnancy. I was wrong, they had a big boy, 9lbs 12 oz.  Now it's a sweater and pants, instead of a dress. Was going to start it tonight, but hubby wants to go to the store. Going to check my stash, and make sure I have enough yarn. Also the new baby has an older sister that is 19 months old. going to make her a princess crown.
For the next few days I will be getting the baby stuff done, and put my sweater to the side. Just about time to go to the store. Supper is over, my son made dinner and is cleaning up. The men in my life spoiled me sometimes.
Well off to the store.

25th anniversary

Today was my wedding anniversary 25 years. I worked all day, when I got home my son and husband had dinner started. We had steak and baked potatoes. I finished fixing dinner. We watched tv together, and went to bed. Another day of work tomorrow.
I worked on my sweater this morning, finished 2 more rows. I have made it back to where I was when I had to rip it out. When I finish the first skein I will figure out how much it's going to take.

snowy sunday

We woke up this morning to snow, not much enough to cover the ground. It doesn't matter how much or how little we get, my baby boy does not like going out in it. I should really put his boots and sweater on him, but first thing in the morning, he can't wait for all that. This is the reason I wanted to litter train him, but hubby said no.
A snowy day seems the perfect time to cuddle up under a blanket and crochet. I may just do that. I have a few things to do around the house, but that won't take long. I haven't done much on my sweater recently. I worked yesterday. Drove my truck for the first time since august, that felt strange. I wondered if I could remember how to drive a stick shift. It went well, though.
Wed was one of my grandson's birthday, Brennan turned 2. Look out Nick and Tiff, you are going to have your hands full with an infant and the trouble 2's. My daughter in law graduated from nursing school. Not sure if she is going to continue school or start working fulltime. I know she wants to continue on and get the RN, but they just got custody of his oldest, which gives them 4 kids, 2 in diapers. We will have to wait and see.
Well breakfast is almost done. I have to go finish it. God Bless and have a great day.

Happy Friday

It's friday the 13th. Hope everyone has a great day. I'm working tomorrow, so my weekend won't start until noon tomorrow. I can use the overtime. This past week, my grandson had his 2nd birthday, I started over on my sweater, and had a rough weeks at work. Things people go to the dr for still makes me stop and say "what????"
Well anyway, I have ripped out my sweater and started over. I increased the starting chain to 200, and working in a half double crochet. Working in the back loops so that the front loops show on the front. haven't gotten far, but will work more on it as I have time.
I have been asked to make a dog sweater for a neighbor. Will get that done soon. Still looking at patterns. Will post pictures when I have it done.
Almost time to leave for work.

sunday morning

Up early today. Devotion was Realize: 3 steps to sin. 1)Contemplation, 2) Rationalization,3) Consent. PS Sin always affects others---Ruth Bell Graham.   Gen.3:1-19, and Gen.6:5.
The serpent will tempt you to contemplate doing something you know God said NOT to do. You must rationalize what you are doing, and give consent to do it. The serpent can not make you do anything you don't want to do. He can only make it looking pleasing. Remember sin always looks pleasing, but you have to look beyond to the consequences. The consequences of sin is death. God said when you are born again, you take on a new form, the old is washed away. You are turn away from your old life, stop the things you did, and strive to live like Jesus which was sinfree. Now I know we can not live totally sinfree, and God knows that. We are humans therefore sinful, however we can turn from things we know is sinful. We must remember others are watching us, we must live to show God's love. Just because we are christians and washed in the blood, does not mean we are free to do as we please. We are to bring other to God, not shun them, or make them question what is so different. We need to show the world why we are different, and why they want to be in our family.
I have made one new years resolution, and that is to fast and grow closer to God. I hope that through this people will see God's love through me.

Concerning my projects. I have the bottom complete for the bag, and I ripped out the sweater. Ready to start over on it. Not sure how much crocheting I will get accomplished today. I really need to clean house and take care of some things I have neglected recently. I hope that doesn't take all day, and I can get a little crocheting in.
