February flew by and now it is March...

Sweet Caroline CAl

 I can't believe it is March 2nd already. February just went by so quickly. I have been watching my granddaughter Carly while my son works so most of my days are busy and not much crafts get done. Finally got the yellow yarn to finish my UFO the Sweet Caroline pillow cover so been working on that again, picture above.

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.

It has been a Year......

 I can't believe it has been a year today. The pain is still raw and like nothing I've ever felt before. I miss your everything and no words can describe the depth of how I feel even though I try.

People say I've been so strong in this last year with everything I've been doing. It doesn't feel that way when I'm just trying to make it one day at a time, some days one hour at a time. And half the days I don't know what I'm doing or how the day went by already.

I can't cry or scream for fear I would lose it all and never come back.... what I wouldn't give to have one more hug, smile, laugh from you. Even just to know that you are somewhere in the house or outside tinkering on your stuff.

Today I will fulfill one of your wishes and pray you are at peace.
I Love you Always, Heart & Soul.

Been Crocheting......

Cosmic Cal part 1

 I've been busy crocheting and doing house stuff.  I started the Cosmic Cal this month. I love the colors of it and it has really nice stitches in it. I made a page for it so you can click on that at the top of the blog to see progress pictures.

MM Cal part 9

I also finished part 9 of MM CAL it is getting so big almost takes up all of my kitchen floor and I'm only 1/2 way done lol. It is a true labor of love and takes a long time for me to do but I will finish it.

Fairy Bride getting ready

I also printed out the HEAD pattern Fairy Bride that was RAKed to me and picked out a piece of cloth big enough for it. Now I have to put it on scrolls and grid it. I also need to work on my Halloween SAL but I have to frog some of it first

Halloween SAL

 Then I pulled out my SUTO wip from the retreat I went to, really want to finish it. It is a pattern by Thea Dueck so has lots of specialty stitches in it.

SUTO WIP

It has been raining a lot here so working outside in the yard is a no go. Everything is flooded right now. Which gives me plenty of time for crafts.
That's all for the time.
Hope you all have a Blessed Week!
