Time to make some more monkey hats! I just love this pattern & so do my grand kids! The hardest part is sewing on the ears & mouth :)

This is my darling Grand-daughter at 18 months old & I haven't seen her in over a year. She lives in Germany where my son & daughter in law are stationed in the USAF.

Ahhh!

In her Monkey hat that Nanna made her!

Easter Table

Thought I would post a quick picture of my Easter Table this year. Place mats I quilted and some fun Easter Eggs I knit. I know it has been months since posted but life sure has been busy around here. :)

MY Love of Yarn!

Well in honor of Valentines day I thought I post some of the things I love beside my family. I also remembered I hadn't posted my pictures of the yarn I got when I was in Germany. Here is the Bravo from Germany. My son also sent me a few more skeins for my Birthday. The Scarf is one I started for my daughter while I flying home for 9 hrs. I finished a hat while I was there but she has already run off with it. LOL
The cones are my precious Peaches & Creme that will be no more as of February 25. Pisgah Yarn was bought by Spinrite which is a Canadian company that owns Sugar & Cream. I am so bummed about it and have placed my final orders this week.WAAAA!
The last picture is some Redheart Eco yarn that I won in a contest last year and also some Moon & Stars baby yarn. OH yes I have lots more but it would takes days to post it. Also have about 20 cones of Peaches & Creme coming soon. YAY!!

Year Went Fast

Well 2010 sure went fast! I hope to keep my Blog updated each month this year..LOL I think I said that last year. We had a great Christmas and I did many cloths but to many to post. I will post a couple of the ones that I do on a regular basis. I'm hoping to get my Scrubbie Crochet pattern typed up and posted to my blog. I have had a lot of request for it on Ravelry. Well here are the cloth patterns I do for family & friends. The one is from the 3 Easy dishcloths on Ravelry. The other is called Easy Dishcloth from Bernat & I think you have to sign up for free membership to get it.

Here is the Easy dishcloth

The Other is called Garter Ridges. They both are very quick to knit up and I of course always use my beloved American made Peaches & Creme! Oh and I finally figured out how to make my dishcloth bands on the printer. I am pleased how they turned out :)

Where has the time gone?

Well I have really gotten behind, but have been really busy. Thought I would post a few pictures from my trip to Germany first and then post a few of the projects I'm working on. These are from the town of Bitburg where my son lives. It is not far from Spangdahlem Air Force Base where he is stationed. The one with the field and town behind it is taken from my son's dining room window. The cows are down the hill from his house on a farm we walked by everyday when went for walks. The one of the church is from a walk we took also. The one with the shops is where Marie and I went shopping. It is a beautiful country and I really enjoyed myself and I bought quite a bit of yarn from a couple shops.

Well lots of things going on at the moment.. Most important is the birth of my 7th Grandchild Riley Jean McGuire. My son & DIL are both in the USAF and live in Germany. She was born Sunday July 18th and I can't wait to hold her. My son & DIL have bought me a ticket to Germany and I leave Aug 2nd til Aug25th. So I have been getting together the things I have made for her. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much knitting and not any crocheting . I have been sewing some receiving blankets and burp cloths and that has been fun to sew for a change. I have sharp pains shooting into my shoulder and up into my neck and they seem to think it is the carpal tunnel so I have started steroids for now and go back to the Dr. July 27th. Well here are few things I did get done before this flair up. I love the Ballerina booties and hope they fit the Philipino Princess! All of these were done in Peaches & Creme cotton yarn. And a Ruffled Hat to go with them. These were so fun and I loved working with pink yarn!
