My sister, Carla sent me the link to this awesome music video. I just had to share it with you here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4&eurl= Made me get all misty eyed! I need a hug!! Thank you for sharing that link with me, Carla!

 

I'm trying to do better about writing on my blog. Pretty soon my schedule will be slowing down and maybe I'll have more time. Brandon will be done with Football this Friday. Logan is done and lettered in Football last Thursday. He was pretty excited. I have heard rumors that Brandon is interested in track......here we go again!

 

I learned how to do European Stitchery last Wednesday at my stitching group. If you don't know what that is it is like string art on card stock paper, done with a tiny needle and metalic threads. I made a cross that was very pretty, I am supposed to cut it out and mount it on a slightly larger contrasting colored square and then on another longer strip for a bookmark.  Everyone was pretty excited about watching me learn that they all want to do it this coming Wednesday. We have picked out an angel pattern to do. I'll share pics of that next week. 

 

I've been working on this ugly duckling pattern. http://www.freepatterns.com/fp_pdfs/Other/Crochet/The_Ugly_Duckling.pdf

 

I was having quite a time with the tail and frogged almost the entire thing and reworked it. Amazing that time it all just fell into place. I'll post pics when I have him done. I bought some really cute rubber duckie fleece to crochet around to go with my ugly duckling. I have it cut to size, curved the edges and now I need to poke the holes around the outside before I can start to crochet the edging. 

  

I'm still working on my halloween gifts for my office. A lady also got my name from an aquaintance to do some flip flops for her granddaughters for Christmas. I have a possibility of 2 name doilies to make for orders also--those have not been confirmed yet though. Could be a busy fall/winter season for my crocheting!
