Happy Fall Y'all!!!

2011-09-18T13:47:00.005-04:00

I just love Fall!!! I know, I know, the first day of fall is not until September 23rd, but I just seem to go into Fall mode on September 1st. I finally got my dear husband to get in the attic and bring down the goodies. I made a mosaic of my Fall scenery that is on a shelf above my kitchen sink. I also decorate it for Christmas. Here goes, please let me know what you think!!!

I have a little something as you leave the house too..........

I so love this...If the Shoe Fits, wear it!!! See the witches feet in the cauldron?

Crochet Rose Ripple Pillow

2011-09-10T16:01:00.003-04:00

I have been on a bit of a pillow kick here lately. This pattern is from a free pattern on the Red Heart website. This one also worked up quickly and was fairly easy. I used RedHeart yarn is frosty green, although the picture does not do the color justice, this is beautiful. (if I do say so myself, lol) I have one more pillow pattern I want to make and then hopefully my pillow fetish will be fulfilled!

Crochet Basketweave Pattern

2011-09-10T15:52:00.005-04:00

I just finished this today, my husband put in a request for a pillow for his recliner. The pattern is from the Leisure Arts Book Aran Pillows to Crochet. There are several designs, this one is called Basket Weave, and measures 12 x 12 inches. I am not sure of the name of the color as the skein was in my stash and the band was missing(how does that happen?). The pattern was very easy and worked up very quickly.

My Precious Gift

2011-09-03T07:34:00.003-04:00

This photo was taken in 1988 and she was 2 years old. Her Daddy was in the Navy so she loved to wear her Sailor Dress! This is one of my most precious pictures of her, she was such a sweet little girl, she once brought home a baby squirrel that had fallen out of its nest (much to my horror) because it needed a mommy. She had it in a shoe box with leaves and Spanish Moss. She was always bringing home some kind of injured, lost, or just plain cute creature. She has not changed much over these 25 years, she is nurturing, compasionate and most of all the kindest person I think I know.

Lord only knows what I did to deserve such a precious gift. The one thing I do know is that my life was changed forever the day she was born, and I can't imagine one single day without her beautiful smile.

I was listening to the morning News, as I alway do; A woman was killed today crossing a busy intersection not far from my husbands place of business. It was a horrible accident; no ones fault. I did not think too much about it as I got ready for work and went on my way.

My husband called me a few hours later and asked me if I had heard about the accident, I said yes, what about it?

"Well honey, you remember Kim? She has been with me for the last 10 years? Well that was her that was killed this morning. I called her Sister because she was late for work and I was worried, the Police were just arriving and breaking the news to the family."

Life is a gift, live it to the fullest, love to the fullest, live each day like it is your last.

I learned a very important lesson yesterday, thank you for letting my share it with you.

More Fav's!!

2011-07-30T09:59:00.002-04:00

It's Saturday and time for more "poking around" on Flickr!! Today I promise to crochet more than I visit Flickr! Well, I will try anyway. First take a look at the pretties I found!

Fantastic Flickr Fav's!!

2011-07-23T12:40:00.003-04:00

I (like alot of us) like to poke around Flickr to see what everyone is crocheting. The color combinations, the use of motifs, and the creativity of the community is just amazing and a never ending source of inspiration. Sometimes I spend more time "poking around" and very little time crocheting. Below are some of the beautiful items I found today and wanted to share with you.

Aren't those ladybugs too cute?

Cotton Candy aka Peach Taffy

Cotton Candy
Originally uploaded by RaggedieAnne

This little girl is a project I started 2 years ago. I ran out of yarn! Go figure!!!! Anyway, this is the Peach Taffy pattern but since I only have dolls with pink hair, I had to improvise on her dress. I think she still turned out really cute! Her dress reminded me of the cotton candy you used to get at the fair, you know the bag of yellow, pink, lavender and blue? These little doll faces are just the cutest little things.

Well off to finish another WIP, or unfinished project! I am going to try and clean up the WIP basket(s)....lol...............

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star......

2011-04-03T17:18:00.003-04:00

Here I have my version of "The Royal Sisters" ( clickie to go to pattern) Grandma Twinkle Garland!! The pattern is free on her website and the tutorial is plain as day, and extremely easy to follow. I made the stars in one evening and did a single chain crochet to string them together. So much Fun!!!! I love Summer and all the festivites such as Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July and of course the unoffical end of Summer, Labor Day!! I will leave my Garland up all Summer and hope to add a few more red, white and blue goodies!

Please check my Flickr link on the right to see more photo's of the Grandma Twinkle Garland!!

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins

2011-03-13T17:20:00.003-04:00

We are back from our vacation, and we had a great time. I would like to share some photos of the places we visited while we were cruisin' through the Caribbean. The first photos I would like to share are of the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Mexico. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see these most wonderous ancient ruins in person. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about the history under my feet. Please enjoy!

I started this little guy last year and stopped when I got to the part when I had to start sewing him together. Needless to say I do not like to sew!!! But I sucked it up and got him put together!! I think he turned out cute!! Please meet Socks!!!!

Fancy Sunflower

2011-01-30T10:50:00.002-05:00

Even though I live in Florida and winters are a far cry from what most of the Country experiences with snow, ice & freezing rain; I am ready for Spring and warmer weather. Because of the heat here in Florida I can plant Sunflowers in the Spring and early Summer. So until I can plant some Sunflowers, I will crochet them!!! This pattern is from an old Annies Attic monthly mini book, I can't remember which one, I have made this pattern so many times over the years that it is embedded in my little brain...Please meet Miss Fancy Sunflower and her friend!

Valentine Crochet Dishcloth

2011-01-29T14:22:00.003-05:00

Just a quickie dishcloth for Valentines Day!! The pattern is from the Lily website and is free, you do have to register to get the free patterns, but well worth the little bit of time it takes. I am still not feeling my crochet mojo, but I am hoping that with just some little projects like this dishcloth that it will return. Without further ado here she is!!!!

I have been away too long..............

2011-01-24T06:13:00.002-05:00

Hello friends!! I have been out of the "loop" for a little while, but I am hoping to spend some more time here in blogland! I will be updating the look of my space here on the internet and I am hoping to post a few new projects very soon.

I am hopelessy addicted to Facebook and I am really trying to break away from it. I spend WAY too much time (or should I say "waste" so much time?) there.

Lots of cold temps out there, please stay warm and stay safe, the temps are dangerously low up North...................

Isn't this cute? I made this for my Mom's Birthday on August 26th. The roses are dishclothes rolled up to look like flowers! I found the pattern and the idea on Ravelry & the pattern is a free download from Coats & Clark...The colors match her kitchen, which she has just had remodeled.

Of course I just know she will not use these for dishclothes, how could she; they are too cute to wash dishes with!!!

I think I need to find a fuzzy little bee to put on one of the flowers? What do you think?

Off to Michaels!! (was that a good excuse or what?) LOL

Just a little something fun and cute! We have been under a heat advisory here on the West Coast of Florida the last couple of days, so staying inside as much as possible!!!

Getting some much needed rain today, it is nice to finally have some relief from the HEAT! I have lived in Floriday for going on 40 years and this is the hottest Summer I can ever remember! But at least in the Winter we don't have to shovel snow............yet! Hello Global Warming!!

He makes me smile each time I see him!!!

Hello!!

2010-07-14T07:24:00.002-04:00

Hello poor little neglected blog! I promise to spend more time with you!!!!

It has been too hot here to even think about doing anything but sitting in front of the fan! Why, I ask myself on several occasions, do we live in Florida?????????? There is no change of season, the humidity makes my hair do strange things, my pool temp is 90 degrees, (so no relief there), and gee whiz, 81 degrees at 5am! Really???? Come on!!

Okay, I will stop complaing.....Can anybody offer any positive reasons for living in this unbearable heat? Sigh.......................

Well off to work, I have it down to a science to stay out of the heat, hahahaha!!! From my AirConditioned house to my AirConditioned Car (parked in the garage) to the Air Conditioned Parking Garage to the AirConditioned Bank and back again!!!! HA HA!!!!!

Okay I am done....I think............................

Swap Potholder #3 DONE!!

2010-03-27T19:10:00.002-04:00

Well, it has been done for a while, I have just been lazy in posting........so here it is, I used Sugar N Cream Twists for the center and the edging....blue, green and white twisted together, really alot prettier in person, the picture does not do the colors justice. The rest of the potholder is just done in white and country blue.

Here is the 3rd Potholder of 5 for the 2010 Potholder Swap. Cornflower Blue, Country Blue Twist, and White are the colors. I am finally using up some of my cotton stash for this project. I love cotton yarn, it is so soft and so easy to work with. I had forgotten how beautifully this yarn works up. I will post the final finished potholder later this evening!

Perfectly Perfect Pink Purse

2010-02-24T18:59:00.003-05:00

Just a small clutch for Girly Essentials!! Made with 100% cotton worsted weight yarn, and measures 6 inches high by 9 inches wide. Crochet button closure. Very easy and simple, the pattern can be found on the Lion Brand free pattern website. I have just been working on this a little each evening over the weekend and after work. This worked up fairly quickly and I will be making more for gifts this Holiday Season! You could modify this very easily to just a coin purse or eyeglass case!!!

Sweet Kitty!!

2010-02-21T21:19:00.000-05:00

My New Pretty Potholder

2010-02-18T18:15:00.004-05:00

I have put my Crochet Sock Monkey on hold. I have been having trouble with his little face, and in order to preserve my work (this means not throwing him in the trash) and to save my sanity I have set him aside for the time being. I will finish him, I will finish him, I will finish him. Okay, I feel better.

So I have taken a potholder break. I discovered a new color palette from Lily Sugar N Cream called Country Colores. They are just beautiful! The pattern is called "Tried to Look Pretty Potholder" I found it on the internet. This potholder is made in Country Yellow, Country Red and Barnboard Twists. I just love 100% worsted cotton yarns!! So soft and yummy!! I hope you like it!!! Click on the highlighted link above to take you to the pattern source.

Crochet Sock Monkey in progress.......

2010-01-31T14:24:00.003-05:00

I don't know why, but I had this strange yearning to make a Sock Monkey. I guess I just really liked how the Patons wool yarn felt so soft at my LYS! Buy the Yarn, a pattern will come!! LOL So, this is my first "Leg" of the pattern, coming along quite nicely....if I may say so myself. So here it is so far..........................

Baby Brianna Christmas Dress

2010-01-01T19:09:00.004-05:00

Pattern by Maggies Crochet. I have been working on this for a friend of mine, she was one of 8 children and I recently found out she never had a doll growing up. So I will be giving this to her on Monday. I just have to finish the roses and attach them to the blankie and the dress and hat. The blankie is complete as well as the hat. I will share the entire outfit on the doll hopefully tomorrow.

This is how I spent my New Years Day. It was really rainy, windy and COLD here today. I am not sure the temp even got to 55 degrees today. I know, I know some of you gals are dealing with the snow and ice, but this Florida Gal needs a blankie when the temp goes below 70!!!

Hi!! Just a quick little note to say "HI" ! Busy, busy, busy this time of year!!! I just love it!! Secret hideaways, whispered phone conversations with my mother, chasing the cats because they feel the must swat at every decoration on the tree, my husband looking in the cookie jar, only to find it empty.... Aww poor hubby...don't worry ladies, the cookie jar is empty because he ate all the cookies I just made!!! What a cookie monster he is!!!

Well, off to work..Mom is doing great and feeling so much better!! Thank you for all the well wishes, they are truley appreciated!!

See you soon!! Happy Holidays!!

Sorry I have been MIA the last several weeks. Work has been brutal, and my Mom has been having some health issues. She is on an upward trend and feeling better, I just hope it continues.

She just recently retired (in Feb) and I wonder just a little bit if maybe she is just not knowing what to do with herself. She lives alone, about 30 minutes from me, we talk everyday and we spend Saturdays together, but I work full time and so does my daughter. I also think she is just a little bit lonely. What to do, what to do.................I have been off this week and she seems so much better and much more like her old self. I will keep you posted. Thanks for reading this far!

Well, I made myself this happy little Christmas calendar with FlickrToys, and boy is it cute. Elizabeth from Creatively Breathing posted one of her vintage Christmas cards on Flickr for paper crafting. Well I am NOT a paper crafter and I ENVY you ladies who are so talented! So, I needed a December Calendar for my PC Desktop and here it is..TADAAAAAA!!!

Dripping with cuteness don't you think?

Quiet Weekend

2009-10-18T15:49:00.002-04:00

This weekend has been very quiet. The weather has turned cooler and drier, and the air smells like fall to me. It is about time!!! It has been so stinkin' hot here on the West Coast of Florida. My husband has spent the better part of this weekend watching movies, he has an extensive collection of DVD's, and he has watched probably 10 movies since Saturday Morning, and he is still watching them. At least I know where he is!! LOL!!! I have been just puttering around, watching TV in the other room and working on some crochet projects, just some small ones, and playing on Flickr and checking out my other social networking groups online. Not a bad way to spend the weekend if I do say so myself!!! My in-laws live in SouthWest Virgina, the picture in this post is of several of the trees on the back of their property...I so miss the changing of the seasons especially this time of year. Hope you all have had a relaxing weekend!!

Another Milestone

2009-09-30T18:34:00.004-04:00

This is my darling daughter, she will be graduating from Nursing School this December.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't count how may breathes you take, but count the moments that take your breathe away"?

Well, today was a "take your breath away moment" for me. I was not aware of this, but there is a "big to-do" upon graduating from Nursing School, it is called a "Pinning". The Professor told the students that traditionally a family member is bestowed the honor of pinning the newly graduated RN.

My daughter asked me to "Pin" her!!!! I got goosebumps all over!!! I still have to fight back tears when I think about her asking me. Of course I said yes!!

She has worked so hard for this and I am so proud of her. This is her dream come true!!

Summer In Florida

2009-07-31T07:15:00.005-04:00

It has already been such a lllooonnnnggggg hot summer here in West Central Florida. We spent several weeks already in the high 90's to mid 100's and that was in late June and early July. I shudder to think what August and September will bring. It has also been unusual in that our daily round of thunderstorms have come in the morning and early afternoon, as opposed to late and early evening. This unusual pattern makes for much more humid afternoons.........sigh.

Well, here is to another day of early rain, humidity, and unbearable heat!

Have a great week-end!!

Monstah Lobstah!!!!

2009-07-19T18:54:00.000-04:00

This is my kind of lobster!!! This picture was taken at Faniuel Hall in Boston, MA. This was my first visit to MA, and I had a great time. We arrived in time to tour the Tall Ships too. We were in MA for 7 days and my husband ate lobster for dinner for four of those days, but he is from MA, so I guess that is okay.

Aren't these little guys cute? I won't eat the real thing, so this will have to suffice!!

I love this place. This is a cabin located in Sevierville TN. We vacation here as often as possible, and we always try to stay in this same cabin. This is the most beautiful place in the world and where I spend time alone with my wonderful husband.

Carrie liked Gavin's Giraffe so much, she hinted that she might like one in her colors of robins egg blue and chocolate. So, being the wonderful friend that I am, I made this cute little creature. She now lives happily in Carrie's bedroom snuggled in with the pillows!!!
Gavin thinks this is his too!!!

I made this about 3 years ago, he is the first crochet toy/stuffed animal I had ever made. That was it, I was hooked!!! He now resides at my friend Carrie's house lovely cared for by her son Gavin!

Here is the finished Christmas Tapestry doily. The points look a little "off". I think I am going to have to block it again, otherwise, I am quite pleased with the results. I am glad I went with the white as the main color and red and green as accents. Well off to finish my next project!!

Another beautiful flower from one of my bushes. I am always amazed at the soft pinkness of this flower. I also love the ruffling of the leaves..................

I am currently working on this pretty pattern. It is much easier than it looks. I have chosen white as the main color instead of the green as I thought the above color scheme was too dark. My complimentary colors are red & green. I am about half way done and will post the fininshed doily soon!!!

Surprise!!!!!

Christmas Tree Doily

I just finished this this weekend. Measures about 10 inches across and is made wth size 10 Cebelia in Green, White and Red. I know it is a little early for Christmas things, but if I don't start now, it never gets done!! Enjoy!!!

Sea Aster Doily

This is unblocked and a little crooked, but you get the idea. Measures 15 inches in diameter, and is made with Cebelia#10 Thread. This was my first "Big" Doily project, most are 10 inches or less. Enjoy!!!!

This is my first crocheted Raggedy Ann. She turned out much cuter than I was expecting. She sure was a lot of work, but well worth it.
