There is this Canadian Tire commercial :):) Where the hubby is sooo enjoying all his new outdoor type things... that he tells the wife he will come back in the house in September!
Thus, my hubby Terry and I joke about that !!!! telling each other that we will go in the house in September! hehe
And unless there is a really bad rainy day I guess...... I will see you all in September !!!!

More Doilies!!!

I finished three more doilies :)

This one sits on my coffee table :) It is called Stars, Fans and Pineapples!!!! :)
It pretty much matches my Hearts and Pineapples!!!! I made two of these, one for each end table!!!!

This doily is made from a pattern by Patricia Kristofferson!!!!! This is the first doily I have made from this designer!!!!! Her doilies are beautiful and very intricate !!

This doily is called Innocence ! I am trying to use more *colour* in my doilies!!!! :):):) I usually just use white or ecru!!!! I gave this one to my Mother In Law.

A Couple of Doilies

A couple of doilies I finished this week !! :) These ones I am keeping for myself!!!!

My camera has been hiccuping lately so I was quite happy to get these pics off quick, sadly tho no staging :) LOL :) I was going to take a pic of the Hearts n Pineapples on the table it is sitting on .. but the camera died LOL rotten stinker :)

North Star Pinwheel is done in size 10 thread yellow and brown, 1.5mm hook and is about 24 inches :)
This one sits on a little table at the bottom of the stairs to go into our computer/ craft room :) Looks quite good!!! With kid n grandkid pics sitting on it !!!
I have not used a lot of colours in my doilies, usually ecru, or white!!! I am trying to expand my horizons !!! :)

Hearts and Pineapples is done in Ecru :) 1.5mm hook and is about 29 inches :):)
This one is sitting on an end table in my living room and I will make another one of these for the opposite end table ! :)

Have a great day !!! :):)

Clark and Dominick !!!

Clark and Dominick !!!!

Here are my two Dear Hearts!!!!!! Clark and Dominick !!!!!! I think Dominick was totally tickled pink to have Clark sitting on his lap !!!!!! He put his arms around Clark and held onto him :)
It was the cutest thing ! :) :)
I can fully see them being good friends and total stinkers together in a year or three !!! :)

Last Two Pairs of Sox for now!

Well these pictures have been sitting here now for a week or two on my hard drive LOL !!!!! I swear since my surgery I am slowing down !!!! LOL The socks are done and given to Sarah and Dominick !!!! I have made two doilies since these pictures were taken LOL :) And started Hollie's socks, well the cast on row is done LOL :):) But it is a start :) And I have started another doily!!! It is a crochet-a-long doily from a crochet group I am in :) !!!!

These were supposed to be Clark's socks but I get over zealous hehehe and usually overdo things, thus these were too big and are now Dominick's!!! :):):) Which is ok, cause he loves the socks Gramma makes for him :)

These are Sarah's Sox !!! They are so so so soft and when I tried them on for fitting purposes !!! they were so so so comfy !!!!!!

Have a great night !!! :):)
