Going Pink

I've gone Pink for the month. I went on over to Shade Tree Crochet today and Tracie has gone pink! I love the idea and checked out Pink for October and signed up.

New toy

I have another picture of my camera front back

I am having fun with it. I was going to buy a case for it, but hey I'm handy with a hook & yarn...I will make one.

Now an update of my ripple. I am on row 86 right now! It is snuggly and warm and I can't wait for it to be finished to use it!

I'll leave off with a random picture taken with my new camera

That's it for now!

Later Sunday...

I went out and bought a new camera while waiting for the Bears game... Yay me! I have been wanting one for awhile now and while I still want the Nikon D40, I can not afford the $600 to get it just yet. This one is great and it's pink. I will be playing with it tomorrow in the daylight hours and can't wait to see how the pictures come out. This picture is a bit blurry, but that's my fault, not my new cameras!
Here's how I was spending this afternoon/evening Blanket on my laps and football on the TV! Never mind that the Bears lost. grrrrr.....
Here's my ripple up close and personal. I don;t like flash shots, but it was evening time and that's all I could get. More pictures tomorrow!

Sunday Football

Finally a game I really want to watch on TV! The Bears are playing the Cowboys this afternoon! I am going to get my things gathered early so I can just settle in on the sofa for an afternoon of football. I stated on the green section of my ripple and will try to get an updated picture up sometime today. I also have to get a beanie done for a friend at work and scarves out for my Cousin Sara. I might just work on those smaller projects while watching football today. I set a goal that when I get back to the Camo yarn on the ripple that I would start my Nephews ripple of Camo & black and the ripple is next after the green that I am on right now so....that is going to mean a whole new blanket started! I really have to plan this out better, I did the same thing last year for Christmas. I just don't plan enough time to get everything done. Pk I best get off of the computer and get some going around here. I'll grab the camera first.

What a day! Super busy at work and now I'm home facing a sink full of dishes, dinner preparation and 2 squealing girls for the next 2 days! UGH!
I hopefully can get some things done during all of this though as my Mother's birthday is next week and my Daughters 20 square blanket is still in need of 6 squares and my ripple is over half way complete. The ripple is a joy to do right now being that it is getting down right cold at night lately, so having it on my lap is quite cozy! I haven't taken any pictures yet, but it's coming along good. Just a quick post for now as the dishes are calling and the kids are wanting food!

New Stuff!

I got 2 new books this week and received some new exchange squares! Yay! Here are the books I got: Amigurumi by Elisabeth Doherty. I've loved her stuff for a while now and am very excited to make her patterns! This is her website if you want to check out her other stuff. I also got this one: at Joann with my 40% off coupon. Nothing too fabulous, but oh well. That's what I get for an impulse buy!
Here are the squares I've received over the last couple of weeks from my exchange partners.
I am now up to 14 completed squares for Katlyn's blanket! Only 6 more to go!
I have gotten to lavender again on my ripple bringing me up to row 77.

Ok I think I've gotten all of the updates done for now. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

Hello

Here I am again. I've been sick and working and just haven't had any time to update.

I got more yarn dyed this is called Funny Valentine. I used Tropical Punch and Pink Lemonade kool-aid for this colorway. My Daughter loves it. It will be added to her Babette Blanket.

I have worked on her 20 square blanket and only have 7 more squares to go until all of the squares are done. She will be quite happy.

I have some more rows done on my ripple. My daughter is holding it up for me, row 71 is underway. Now this shot shows all of the ends that I have to weave in ugh...I've tried to get some done, I think I have about 6 rows done. It is going to be quite an undertaking! I am starting to worry about the yarns that I will run out of and unable to replace, what am I going to do? Wing it I guess!

That's about it for now, I have to make some scarves for my Cousin and still get the Christmas stuff started, good thing it's Football season again!!! That means more TV time so I can get a lot of crocheting done!

Got to go a crochet!
