Quilting without fabric

I have started a crochet quilt. It's made in pieces just like a regular quilt, and then put together. I am making a Double Wedding Ring quilt from Annie's Attic Ultimate Book of Quilt Afghans.



Here are my color choices. In Caron Simply Soft: Grape, Orchid and Soft Blue. I didn't think I could handle all that white, so I changed the background color to the blue. Still pale enough to not take away from the orchid.



Here are the first pieces I have done.







It's not so much the pieces that will take long, but sewing this all together may take a while.

And then here are some dishcloths I made for the hubby. They spell Wicked.









And here is the newest pic of the kiddies. Growing like weeds they are.

Pretend this is yesterday

I tried to post yesterday, but it just didn't want to. So here goes.

My little one isn't so little anymore. She turned 4 yesterday. Man it just doesn't seem like it's been that long.

She had a great time yesterday. Can't you tell?



Here is here Sponge Bob cake and her about to blow out the candle.





Happy Birthday Bethany!

What holidays?

After all the hustle and bustle, isn't that what we feel like? We try to stretch our time out before the holidays actually arrive. We need more time for everything it seems. And then it's over, and we wonder where the time went. It's kind of all a blur. Maybe that's to deal with all the holiday stress.

The kids had a great Christmas. My hubby was able to make it a better one for them this year. They are all happy, and that's the point. I only made a few things this year. Our family decided to draw names for the adults this year. So that dramatically cut down the number of people I made for this year.

I don't have pics of the ornaments I painted, but I do of the dishcloths I made hubby. I am glad he likes these. I get to knit, and he loves them. A win, win situation. I made his initials. His idea actually. I always have a hard time figuring out exactly what to get him.







He got me a MetallicaClub membership. When the membership package arrives there will be pictures. But the cool thing is, now that I am a member, I get member only content on their site. That's where I have been spending a lot of internet time. It's a blast.

Hope everyone's holiday went well. Now we can practice writing 07.
