someone asked me what was on my hook, well here it is, baby hats.
Its a great weekend for crocheting baby hats...This batch is going to childrens hospital and hopefully Stitches from the Heart..
Also working on some scarves...There is always a need for scarves also..
Its been a nice weekend here so far..Its not hot, its not cold, just right..
I got some groceries early this morning, dont like going when its late in the day, when there are lots of people shopping..So going before 8 am works for me much better..
My friend came by and brought some potato salad, and i gave her a bag of lemons...We visited a while, and all to soon she had to go..
I gave her some yarn, she wants to try to learn to crochet..

Happy Memorial Day everyone....
I wish you a happy and peaceful day...

Happy Mothers Day

Mothers day is always a difficult day for me...My mom was my anchor, my solace...I miss her daily...I have many memories of my mom that i cherish every day..I am happy she was my mom....

Have a great Mothers Day my friends...

May you have peace in your day and hope in your heart...

Good Wednesday morning...Its finally cooled down today...Its been so hot, i cant stand hot weather....
Its windy and cloudy today and i am loving it...
Yesterday i went to run some errands, went to the post office to drop off some baby hats, then to the pet store for some food, and flea meds...I had a coupon for a free flea med, so of course i couldn't pass that up...The vet is inside the pet store, so that's even better..

I cant believe how fast the months are going...Its almost summer again...
I am crocheting a big throw for top of my bed so Ruby wont dirty my bedspread..It will be a while, since i am doing other things also..But its coming along nicely and its going to be colorful...:-)

Well i leave you with a pic of a blankie that i did for a friend of a friend..She is expecting her first daughter in a few months, and i am hoping she will like the blankie..I know of allot of people who don't like homemade items, but i am hoping she will..

Thank you for taking the time to visit..
Love and peace .

Good aftenoon

Wow, its so windy again today...Its sunny though and its a beautiful day..
I got an early start and ran some errands and then went to the pet store and grocery store..
When i got back i started a load of laundry, well that load ended up being 3 loads..I found other stuff to wash, so why wait..
I finally got my room and closet cleaned weeks ago, so today started on the kitchen...I have been wanting to clean out the cubbards inside of all the old stuff..I didnt have anything to throw out, but it was nice to wash the cubbards with a wet sponge..I feels great to get things cleaned up..
I still have a bag of shredded stuff to throw out, and a few boxes to put in the trash...I have one big drawer i need to get cleared of junk, but it will wait for another day...I instead scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen down and i am pooped...All my window are opened and the nice breaze is coming in and my plants are loving it..
I got 2 baby blankies done and a few hats, also 2 preemie blankies..
Now working on a prayer shawl in memory of my mom...Its going to a Washington hospital for women going through gyno chemo..
I made some breaded chicken today... I put a piece of the breaded chicken on some sour dough bread, tomato, lettuce, mustard, a couple of pickles slices and a slice of provolone cheese....Delich! It sure hit the spot after a morning of cleaning..:-)
I still have a few more things to organize, but that will have to wait for another burst of energy on another day..
Thanks for coming by and visiting..
peace and love..

Working on a baby blankie right now...Sent in hats and squares to my charities..I have a blankie and more hats to send...
Its a beautiful day out today, sunny, and warm...All my windows are opened and the fresh air is coming through...Even my plants are loving the fresh air...
I finally organized, decluttered and cleaned out my room...My closet looks great, i love it..
I put some fabric softner sheets in the closet, under the bed and dresser...Right now it smells really good, just to bad it doesnt last long..
I hope you are all having a great weekend..
Thanks for coming by and visiting..

Happy Saturday

Its another beautiful day here in Cali, sunny and warming up..
I have so much to do still, but don't feel like it at all..I just want to sit and make some baby hats..But i promised myself i would declutter my room and get rid of stuff i don't need...I don't like clutter and my room has become a little cluttered....So, i started with the dresser drawers last week and now they are finished...The closet is a big project for me...I have bags of yarn, that i must organize...I bought 2 bins, and i will put the yarn in it so its not all over the closet floor...It will be nice and tidy..
Little by little i will get it done! I like simple as i am a pretty simple person also...Its a good thing i started early today and got a few things already done..I swept my room, and cleared a few more things out..Laundry is done and put away...I need to clear my printer area of junk mail...I don't know where to put the junk mail, so it goes on top of the printer...i should shred as it comes, but i never do, i just stack it..I need to get into the habit of getting rid of the junk mail as soon as it comes in...After that i will be done for today...
Going out to the back yard and pick some lemons, i think it will make my room smell heavenly...
Have a great weekend my friends, thanks for visiting...
