One of the Docs at work just had his 4 child. I have made him a summer outfit, which is the sweater and pants pattern with adjustments. I removed the sleeves on the sweater to make it sleeveless, and shortened the pants to make shorts. I still have to sew it together, but I'll finish that today.
I have 2 more babies to make outfits for. I also would like to make some christmas presents. I know this is a short entry, but I have dinner to fix and finish this outfit.

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.

Christmas time
It has been awhile since I have blogged anything. A lot has been going on here. Our oldest son has moved here from Ohio so right now he is staying with us. He has found a job and trying to get through the holidays. Then about a month after he moved here, our youngest daughter moved back home. Don't get me wrong I love having my kids here, but there is more work to do. 3 of our 4 have moved home.
During all of this, our youngest daughter became a God-Mother. So we now have 5 grandchildren, or 4 grandchildren and 1 God grandchild. Madison is so beautiful, and sweet. I finally got to meet her last night. My daughter has a professional camera, but has misplaced the charger. As soon as it's found we are going to have a photo session. I am going to put a photo from last night below.
Madison and Grandma Kim.
On to the next thing. Christmas has become so commercialized that we have decided to do something different this year. Each of the Kids and grandkids will get 3 gifts just like Jesus. They will get a gift they need, a gift they want, and a gift I make. As you can see I have been busy crocheting. We have 4 children, 2 in-law children, 4 grandchildren. I also have 4 children that call me Grandma. This doesn't count for the neices and nephews. I still have a lot of crocheting to do. I have 6 completed, and working on the 7th one. Oh and I still have a fulltime job to go to everyday, and a house to take care of. So as you can see, there has been time for blogging.
I'm going to end this now, I will post pictures of the crochet items later.

Catching up
It has been an amazing summer. I have made one baby outfit. Working on another. I have also started my winter sweater.
I changed positions at work. Now I actually work with all the Docs, and am loving it. I really like the nurse that took my position. Several things have changed at the office. We loss 2 nurses, one to a new job, and one to disability. We also had a referral person retire, manager retired early. The lead for the front desk is moving to a new job. As you can see we have several positions open, some have been filled. Still have a nurse poistion, and front staff. I have interviewed for a position closer to home, still waiting to hear.
In July, I took 3 weeks off. The first day the storm hit, and I had no electric for a week. We did go to Ohio for part of a week. Had a good time visiting family. Spent time with the grandkids. I just love them to death.

sweater finished
I have finished the sweater. It looks great. It only took 4.25 skeins of yarn, so I have almost 2 skeins leftover. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.
On to my next project. I'm going to start the wedding present. I have a feeling it's going to take some time. I will start it today. I'm hoping for the best.
Well it's sunday morning, and I just finished fixing breakfast. I have to get dinner on soon. Not sure what is going to happen today. God is Good, so I'm sure it will be good.

Happy Easter
Easter 2012, woke up at 6am. I really want to get back to church, but I'm having a hard time moving. I still have to go to the store, and I'll be cleaning house this afternoon.
I hope that everyone remembers the true meaning of today. Jesus rose from the grave, to give us hope for a future beyond our comprehension. Remember what Jesus did for all of us, He loves us even if we ignore Him. I LOVE HIM.
I have been working on my sweater, it's over half done, will probably finish this week. Will post a picture when it's complete.

My next sweater
I started a new sweater for myself. This one is for the warmer months of the year. It can be found and downloaded free at caron.com. It's called the lacy duster. I'm going to make mine a little longer than the pattern calls for. It's being made out of caron simply soft yarn in soft pink. I started this last sunday, and am about 1/2 done with it. I'm excited to get it completely and start wearing it.
When I finish this I have another baby boy outfit to make, it's the same pattern I used for Baby D. This one will be done in mint green. I also have 2 baby girl outfits to make, and the wedding present. I'm going to start the wedding present as soon as I finish the sweater. One of the baby girl outfits maybe the christening dress I started a while back.
My long sweater coat is going to be ripped out and restarted. I found a pattern I want to make. It requires 3 yarns crocheted together. This one will be heavier and I may be able to wear it most of winter. I have to find at least one color that will go with the autumn red I already have. I haven't decided if I will make it with 2 strands of autumn red and one other color, or find 2 more colors. I will update when I get to that project again.
Now for what else I've been up to. Since my last post, I have done most of my spring cleaning, moved furniture around. This weekend I cleaned out a storage bin, and had to move furniture again. I have cleaned house today, just normal weekly cleaning. Working on laundry, some of which is stuff I moved out of the storage bin. I'm going to spend the evening watching tv, crocheting, and listening to my police scanner. I hope everyone has had a blessed week.
