Palm Sunday

That's right, it's Palm Sunday. One week before Easter and we are having a winter storm. I think the groundhog lied. I woke up to sleet, and warning of 1-6 inches of snow by morning. I didn't go to church, for fear of the weather.
I haven't done any crocheting or knitting lately. Plan to do some today, after I make my puppies homemade treats. I'm excited about making homemade treats and knowing what my dogs are eating.
Not much going on here. Will post later what I knit today. I have to get me a scarf made, since this winter is never going to end. I had my hair cut this week.

Weekend Bliss

It's saturday morning in our house it's quiet. Ok, to be honest it's usually quiet here. Our youngest child will be 22 in a couple months, and the grandbabies live out of state. I'm the only one up, and I keep telling myself "you need to get the housework done" to which I reply "I know give me just a minute." Ok that minutes has come and gone several times. All I really want to do is sit here and knit.
We had our second snow storm in as many weeks. This one was not as bad as last weeks, we still have power this week. Spent all last weekend without power, which meant no cleaning or laundry. Thank goodness I have enough uniforms to last 2 weeks. With the cold weather and working I didn't do anything all week. It's time to catch up.
I'm still working on the baby outfit, getting closer. I have the yarn seperated for my year in temperature scarf, and the measurements for my pitts sweater. I hope to get to spend time working on the outfit this weekend, and at least get half done. I don't get much knitting done through the week, as I'm gone from home 11 hours a day.
In the last couple week, we had an addition to our family. We got another 4 legged grandson. His name is Jacks, and he is a mix chi pom. He is the cuties thing, but his daddy said no dressing up. Guess what nana is going to make him somethings. He doesn't like the cold. I don't think I'm ever going to get a granddaughter,except for cats. The female cats that are here are turning me against cats.
Well hubby is up, and I need to get started. I will try to post pictures of my progress on the outfit this weekend. Have a safe and warm weekend.

Christmas is over

Ok I have to admit I didn't get everything done. I am still crocheting for Christmas. I did make all the guys hats, I still have several things to finish. I have been working all day on the grandchildren from work gifts. I have the hats completely and 1 set of mittens. When I finish this I still have the neices, and kids hats to complete. I also have an outfit for a girl at work, and the dedication dress for the God grandchild.
I want to make Dinky another sweater, one that will fit. I have some pom pom yarn given to me, and I'm going to try to knit a scarf with. I still have my sweater to finish as well. below is a picture of one hat and mittens set I've made. Yes we are Ohio State fans. This was for our youngest grandson.

Sounds like it's a good thing I took a week off work. I just want to say the all the items I make are not my own. I find the patterns online mostly at ravelry.com. This site is for crafters to post their stuff. All the patterns I use are free to make.
We went to Ohio for Christmas, and just missed the storm. Really enjoyed spending time with mom, and seeing the family. I miss the family, but was glad to be home before the storm. We got ice and sleet, wind and cold. They got snow and more snow. I don't miss that.
