I have been working on some Stained Glass that I'm giving for Christmas gifts this year. I have two already finished. I have a long list of people that I want to make things for. My problem is that when I get one done, I add another name to the list. I really need to stop doing this.

I am still plugging away on the baby blanket that I have been working on. The thing is going to be huge. I will be close to five feet long by the time I'm finished. It is turning out real cute. I bought the pattern off EBay. (Another placce I have to stay away from..lol.)

I haven't been working on any of my other WIPs but I hope to pick something up here real soon.

This is Marissa's and my purses. It is the March '07 bag for Bag-A-Holic. I used Red Heart Sport for the yellow and Red Heart worsted weight for the red. Marissa's is done with a single strand of both. Mine is another story. It is made with three strands of yellow and two of the red. That was real fun to knit with all those strands...lol. The lining is bright yellow with cherries.

I looked locally for the material for the lining but was told that they didn't make it. Just what I needed..... a challenge. I did find it ..... in New Jersey. (tell me that they don't make it) Anyway, my purse has a zippered pocket and four open pockets. Can't have too many pockets :) I'm happy with how they both turned out. It is a fun purse.

This is our living room window. Yes.... it is one of our cats. This is Spot. (my granddaughters named him) He is one of our rescue kitties.

We have four cats all together. We will be putting one cat in each window.

This is the newest member of our family. This is Molly. See what happens when I go to Heartland Pet Connection. I seen her when I took the pet snuggies out there earlier this month. I'm going to have to start wearing blinders when I go out there. We believe that Molly hasn't been around cats before. She is afraid of our cats. She is really a sweetie though. Makes a nice 58 pound lap dog....lol.

I finally finished up three pet snuggies for the animal shelter. I crocheted them in Feb. but didn't get the ends tucked in until this month. Every time I go there I find myself wanting to take home another pet.

I got Marissa's and my purses knitted. They turned out real cute. Just need to get them lined. I have everything I need. Just need to make the time to finish them up. I'll be sure to add a picture of them.

The Bab Marley bag that I am working on got too big to tote along so it got grounded. I'm just about done knitting the bag but I still have the handle to go. I can't wait to get it felted.

Some of the bedding plants arrived at Wal-Mart. This is just as bad as the animal shelter. I can't leave there without taking some of them home. The flowers are slowly taking over the yard. One of these years I will be able to sit back and watch the flowers grow. But until then there is the planting and the weeding.

Plan Coming Together

The Bob Marley bag is coming along real nice. I have decided to leave it as a Tote-Along project. I have a few road trips coming up that I can take it on. I can't just sit in the car and do nothing. I am also able to knit or crochet at work This is nice. As long as our work is done, we can do it.

I'm going to try to get Marissa's purse done this weekend. It will probably take me an hour to get it finished. I should have had it finished already.

I have two ideas for purses bouncing around in my mind. I think that the time has come to start working on one of them. I already know what I want to do. I have the colors all picked out and it should be a fun purse. Just need to sit down and work it out on paper.

One list I am on, Bag-A-Holic, You wouldn't believe the talent on this list. I have to say that they challenge me. I am just amazed at what they can do. I stand in awe and drool. After a while I have to pop my eyes back in my head and mop the floor up. My husband asked me why I needed more purses. Can you bleieve that??? I guess if I have to explane it, he isn't going to get it. Oh well...... I'm not done working on him yet.

New Blog

Well.... I finally decided it was time to make a blog. I enjoy reading other blogs.
What I want to do is to ba able to keep track of my WIPs, WIMs and finished projects.
I am on several groups that have either a crochet along or a knit along. I just wish that there was more hours in a day to get all the crocheting and knitting done and do the house work also. On second thought....... the house work is optional.
