mini mystery #24

 Wow it has been awhile since I posted here. Been busy with family and was in the hospital 2 weeks ago for ER surgery. Doing well but still get tired easy so not much crafts getting done. I did do the mini mystery cal, got all the parts done, just need to find a zipper and my fabric glue. I cleaned my crafts room up last month so can't find anything now lol.

I got a new computer this weekend so been setting it up and figuring out how all the new stuff work. The picture above is from it and that is my mandala I hope to finish soon. 
That's about all for now. Have a Blessed Week.

Trinity Mandala CAL 2019

 I really like working on it and learning new stitches. I made it in the same colors as my Trinity Mandala's from It's all in a Nutshell Crochet   

Fall Afghan

 I'm still working on my oldest WIP/UFO the Fall afghan I hope to have it done this year some time. Only a few more rows then I can start the border on it.

Moonshine blocks step 5

 I'm still plodding along on the Moonshine BOM Quilt on step 5 now and still love the fabrics and the design but life gets in the way and some day I will get it done.

Pumpkin 2019

 I have always wanted to make a crocheted pumpkin and there was a CAL on one this year so I decided to do it. I really love how it turned out and have it put out on my entertainment center already for Halloween/Fall. The link to the pattern for the pumpkin and leaves can be found on my Raverly page for it.


I've also been doing a bit of cross stitch again on my Halloween SAL

Hope you all have a Blessed Week!

Cosmic cal row 27

 Seems like I've been gone forever. Lots of things happened while I was in AZ and  I had to extend my trip for a whole month. Been home for a week now and cleaning up the house. I have had time to do some crafts in-between.

Scared Space Cal

 I started Helen Shrimpton's Scared Space Cal doing it in 2 colors. Also working again on my Cosmic Cal (first photo) Using black so it is a bit slow going.

 Got me a new table cloth for August and did matching flowers. Got the second block in the flora cal done.

Can't believe it is almost Dec.....

Damon 3 weeks

 It has been a busy couple of month since the last time I posted on here. My Grandson Damon was born in Sept. Then when he was 3 weeks old he ended up in the hospital for about 5 weeks. He was a very sick little boy.

Damon 3 days

 He is home now and going better but still on feeding tube, not sure how long he will have it.

Buffy and Damon

 The girls are getting bigger and so cute.

Selene

 After being in Az from August til Nov 2. I came home to my son and other granddaughter Carly who are both now living with me.

Carly

 It is so nice to here laughter and giggling in the house again. As you can see with a  little one you have to baby gate the Christmas tree.

Brant and Carly

 I really like having someone else here since Hubby passed. We had a really wonderful thanksgiving. I cooked for the first time in years. and used my good china.  My MIL was here too.

Thanksgiving dinner

I've been in Christmas/Yule mode made Carly a stocking since she didn't have one.

Carly's Stocking

 Now working on one for my son.This one is going so much faster since I know what I'm doing lol

Brant's Stocking

 My Friend Sue asked me if she could finish this R&R since I don't stitch much anymore. She sent it back here last week finished. It is so beauitful. Now I have to turn it into a wall hanging soon.

Santa RR finished

So that is what I've been up to for the last couple of months. Right now working on stockings and things for Christmas swaps- which I can't post yet-  I'm not sure if I will make any other Christmas presents this year depends on how much time I have.
Hope you Blessed week! I will try and remember to psot more on here.
