Crochet Chemo Cap!

Finished the crochet chemo cap! I was crocheting away yesterday on it and thought...when does it start looking like a hat? Finally, when it was the size of a large pizza, I read the pattern more thoroughly...diameter 5 in.! Rip it, Rip it! I'm not crocheting for an elephant!:) I probably could have had two hats by the time I got this one done! Once I was paying attention instead of just going around and around and around it was really fun! I changed the pattern and added my own little flair to the end row, plus added the flower. I really like the flower! I really like the little flower thing a lot! It just gives it the finishing touch! A touch of love for someone!:)

Packing the trailer today, making the beds in it, and getting ready to hit the road. Miss Fuji Ann is not a happy camper that she's not going. She gets very sad and pouts when mama isn't around. My poor poochie, Mama give you lots of smoochies before I go! She won't be alone though, Grandma's going to come babysit. I've already got a picture of her in the trailer! Gonna miss ya Ms. Fuji! Yes, I'm a little attached!:)

Hats & Toes!

Today I changed beds, vacuumed, and gave myself a pedicure. Gotta have pretty toes for the beach! Got another baby cap finished and started on a chemo hat. Met a wonderful lady on the Knots for Love group on Ravelry...looking forward to getting to know her better. Our birthdays our one day apart! Which reminds me I'm going to be another year older soon.

Splish, Splash, gonna go take a bath!

Getting ready...

Past couple of days have been busy doing errands and getting ready for our trip to Morro Bay. Today I've done laundry and laundry and laundry ...ironing...packing...
I'm soooo tired and am looking forward to having a nice, long soak in the tub! Yesterday I went to Bath and Bodyworks and they were having a huge sale. They had a 75% off table which I got a lot of candles, wallflowers (plug in and it smells), soaps, and bubble bath. Boy did I stock up. Jimmy and I looked liked penguins waddling to the car with our bags of goodies! Fun though!

My friend, Alana, has a very cute song on her blog that she wrote...go check it out its funny! She's never not knitting!

I'm still working on the crochet baby blanket. I'm knitting something for someones birthday...can't post pics cuz they read my blog faithfully! Also crocheting on the baby hats still, they're so much fun. I want to get the book Knitted Babes to make my niece a doll with clothes for Christmas. I think that'll be fun and that she'll love to play with it.

Charlie Brown Easter Socks!

Socks off!

Socks on!:)
Yeah, I finished my Charlie Brown Easter socks! Boy the green in this colorway looks like it could glow!:) Worked on them last night and got to the toe part and went to bed...got up this morning to finish them and I only had two rows left before doing the kitchener stitch! Must of been really tired! Now on to something else....

Charity Hats!

Sending off these baby hats I did over the weekend for a hospital in MA that is in need of them. KnottyKnitter40, Ladybuglola, and Katnmouseknitter are all sending hats too. All hats should be sent to: Coveted Yarn, PO BOX 6015, Gloucester, MA 01930. These were so much fun to do and fast! I loved putting the little flowers on the girl ones!:) They're kind of hiding in the pic except the front one!:)

Hubbies back from fishing...caught a lot of fish and had a great time! Six more day until we get to go camping! So excited! Jimmy's really excited about boogie boarding (me too), I haven't done it since I was twelve and we won't even count how long ago that was! Hey, at least they had boogie boards then!:) That should be some real interesting photo opportunities, huh? Still trying to decide if I want to cut off my hair? Just don't know if I'll do it before or after the trip. Guess if I actually called the stylist I could check if she could even get me in this week....that would settle the before or after decision! I think I shocked Dawn about how short I'm wanting to go...but I need 10in. to donate to Locks for Love! :)

Shopping!:)

Hubby went fishing with my Dad for the weekend so.....I went shopping!:) Got sand castle toys, new bathing suit (not fun trying on, humorous yes, fun no!), new swim trunks and sandals for hubby, boogie boards, couple of skorts ($8.00 at Walmart), Jimmy some new shorts and undies, sheets/blankets/plates etc. for trailer, and some Webkinz. We had a lot of fun! Its sooooooooooo hot here! Looking forward to going to the beach! Tomorrow is cleaning day...laundry, ironing, bathrooms, etc. Gonna go get my vacuuming done now! Tootles!

Knittin' and Stuff!

Knitting on my Charlie Brown Easter socks and crocheting a baby blanket.

Haven't crocheted in awhile and boy is it making my hands cramp up!:)

My first sunflower of 2008! Its a big one too!

I've got grapes! Yeah! This poor grapevine has been through the ringer! Got it last year and the bunnies ate it up. I kept watering it, put wire around it and got it to come back to life. This year its had lots and lots of leaves and whoohoo it now has grapes!:)

(Chorus:)I heard it through the grapevine, Not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah.
