YAY...DONE!!!

I got it done and i think it turned out really great,i love the way it hangs and feels,i love this senso thread,its so soft and is so easy to work with.No full face shot becouse my hair wasnt fixed,lol,it was just pinned up and messy.
Enyway without further ado......Drum roll please.....





I want to send out a special thank you to Anna for putting it all together and all the wonderfull ladies who competed,it was great fun.

My DIL

My dil learned to crochet the other night,picked up a hook and by the next afternoon had a bikini top done,i was so shocked at how fast she learned,she is now working on a camo tank top thats out of her head.

Now i can start back on my summer sweater.Goodnite everyone.

Crochet Olympics Update

Well..im up to 18" and still going,i feel like its never ending.I feel like im going in slow motion.I have used 7 balls of thread,it feels like 100 lol.Its a repeating stitch of 2 through 5 rows so its hard to watch tv.

Playing with kitty!!

While crocheting last night i had my feet propped on a box and kept felling this wierd feeling on my toes,i looked down and what do i see ??My big fat kitty staring back at me,she had gotten in the box while i wasnt looking and did not like the fact that mom was ignoring her.Her past time is getting into small spaces and in my yarn bags.She is up to 17 pounds now,what a fatty and we love every inch of that fat.

Snow!!

After all was said and done we got 13 inches of snow,i took these photos at about 3 in the morning,its looking down our front stairs.Believe it or not there is still snow on the ground and its 60 degrees today,its melting fast now and i cant wait for summer.


Have a great day everyone!!
