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

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..........................

As promised, here is the finished doll and her blankie. I really enjoyed making this, it was very easy and worked up quickly!! I will give it to my friend tomorrow, I sure hope she likes it! I will let you know!

Baby Brianna Christmas Dress

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!!!

My Father in Law just emailed these pictures to us this morning. This is the snow they have overnight, 14 inches. They are heading here to Florida on Tuesday, if they can get out of the driveway!!!! Look at him out there without a jacket!! Oh well, the man is from Maine originally, so I guess he knows what really being cold is all about!!

Just a typical evening in the Heim household! Hubby watching TV and Munchkin sleeping in his lap. Such a sleepy kitty, I wonder what he has been doing all day to make him so tired? Hmmm............

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!!
