Suzy HomeFaker rocks!

 I want to encourage all of my blogging friends to visit a great blog called SuzyHomefaker. She has the most interesting pictures. You will not be able to stop reading all of her posts.
I finished the African Flower baby blanket. I made up the border, but the motif pattern can be found in several places on the internet. Just google 'african flower'.

Why am I always the last one to start watching great TV shows? I was channel surfing yesterday and found 'The Voice'. What a great way to find talent. Love Blake Shelton!!
Hope you have a great week. They are predicting 70 degree weather this week!!

So much to look at and not enough money!

Back from shopping trip with Janet and Micki. My feet are killing me but we had a great time at Hobby Lobby. I think we were in there 2 hours! I bought some yarn to finish the pink and green blanket. I tried the blue with the green but it just didn't work. So after consulting the color wheel, I decided the blue needed to be paired up with peach and orange. Hope it looks as good as my mind says it will.

The small skein is sock yarn for another project. Janet asked if she bought the yarn would I make her an afghan. Why sure! She had to literally close her eyes and just pick a main color. She picked a variegated teal, brown and gold. The picture doesn't do justice to the beautiful colors.

After we ate lunch at Chili's, we went to Michael's, Books-a-Million, and Pier 1. Here are a few things I would love to have from Pier 1...

Do you see the enormous fork and knife? There was a whisk around the corner that was just as big!    $70 !!!!!

Bazinga!

I ran into one an old friend this morning at Wal-Mart. She and I worked together in the Quality department and she taught me how to use the computer and other things that were required in our job. She is the sweetest person God put on this earth and I am so glad to be able to call her a friend. God bless you Jan for being my friend.

I scoured a few of the many crochet patterns that I have found online and came across this African Flower pattern. Aren't these colors yummy? These work up quick and I made this many while watching TV last night. I am going to experiment with baby blue to see if this would work for a little boy blanket.

 I have gotten addicted to watching "The Big Bang Theory" at night. Sheldon acts just like my nephew!!

This is Howard who thinks he is a ladies man. Bazinga!

Hope you have a great weekend!!

Wool eater finished.

 I finished the scrap yarn Wool Eater blanket today. This is a great use of all of that scrap yarn.

I played with the photo editing on Photobucket....

Janet has already put her claim on this one. I need to find a pattern to work on next. Micki and I have planned a trip to Hobby Lobby Saturday. Justin thought Valentine's Day was Wednesday and didn't have anything for me Tuesday. Boo hoo!  But he compensated by giving me some money to spend at Hobby Lobby! Woo Hoo! Give me money to shop anyday over roses or chocolate!

It's a rainy day here in SC..... dark, gloomy,cold......just the way I like it when I don't want to do anything outside (or inside) :-)

Hope you are having a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my friends.

It is also the 70th birthday of Peter Tork of the Monkees and my son-in-law, Tim McAbee. Happy Birthday guys!

Wool-Eater in progress

I started working a "Wool-Eater" blanket last night. It's very easy and once you do the first set of rows, you can crochet without referring to a pattern. Easy way to use up your scrap yarn! Pattern here.

Have a great and warm weekend! It's cold here!

Blanket complete

I finished the baby blanket,finally! My fingers are tired, but it is beautiful!

Lucky little granddaughter that will receive this! I'm not sure whether or not my new grandchild will be a girl or not, but I wanted to be ready.
This is the latest sing-a-long video. Love Toby Keith!

Crazy!!!

Just wasn't meant to be ..

I went to my interview this morning at Cooley Group in Lancaster. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be :-(  While they were impressed with my resume, the time schedule just didn't work for me. I have worked 1st shift for over 25 years and do not want to work 2nd or 3rd shifts. And to drive for an hour one way at night is not for me either.
I am disappointed but I haven't given up. Maybe there is a job out there.
I'm almost finished with the baby blanket. I'll be glad to start something else.
Hope you have a great day!

Finding my way..

I did a 'dry-run' this morning to Lancaster, SC where my job interview takes place. I personally would like to never have to work again, but I don't think that would be fair to Justin. Besides, we need health insurance at least until I am eligible for Medicare! Not looking forward to that!
Anyway, I was able to find the location with only one missed road. According to the Google map it will take me about an hour and 42 miles (one way). I returned using another route that will cut some miles but not sure about the time.

Lancaster is known as 'the Red Rose City' and York is known as 'The White Rose City".
