Well I have finished a total of 4 scarves for the Special Olympics. Need to download picture of the other two later and add to this post. Now all I have to do is get a large envelope so I can get them in the mail.

Looking at the Walmart by me, they have no more Delft Blue left. I sure hope that is a good sign and that others are busy crocheting or knitting up scarves. I will continue to look for more yarn, as I rather enjoyed crocheting these scarves up. I would love to do more if I am able to. I will have to enlist my family to keep their eyes out for more for me.

So for now I am going to go back and work/finish a prayer shawl that I have been working on and off an for a while. I am looking around to see where I can donate the shawls that I make. I might try and sell a few too. Who knows what I will do.....

I also have a blanket I need to finish. I really need to get this one done. As I was asked by someone if they bought the yarn would I make them an afghan and of course I said yes. Well, then I got pregnant with my youngest and got side tracked. I think waiting about 5 years is too long to wait. So, that is a goal I have set for myself is to get it done sometime this year.

Scarves

Here are the first 2 scarves that I have done. Still have plans and the yarn to make at least 2 more. Better get started soon.

Still sick and scarves

I am still sick. My head is all stuffed up and it seems like everytime I move I start coughing. I really hate being sick. My youngest seems to be over it for the most part. Just a little cough every now and then. But, my Dear Hubs has it now. He seems worse then I do. I am praying that the other two kids do not catch this cold/flu thing that is going around.

The good news is I have been able to crochet a bit and I have completed two scarves for the "60 Scarves in 60 Days Challenge". I said I wanted to do 3 or 4 and I believe that I will be able to meet this goal. It feels really good to be able to do this. I still need to take pictures of them, so I will post pics later tonight of the scarves.

Well, I am off to rest a bit. Need to get over this soon....

Crochet

I have been crocheting on and off over the years. I will look for somewhere to post some pictures of some of my completed items. Will post more about that when I find a place. Any suggestions from all the pros out there?

Anyways this year I have an itch to crochet some items not just for family and friends, I feel a strong urge to use my skill to help others in need.

So with tomorrow being September 12th and it is International Crochet Day. For more info on this check out Jimbo's Blog; http://www.jimbosfrontporch.blogspot.com/ . I plan to rest as much as I can, since I caught my daughters cold and I am gonna crochet some scarves. Which means I am going to join the Fifth Annual "60 Scarves in 60 Days". For more info about this please check out Dee's blog; http://journals.aol.com/crochetwithdee/CrochetWithDee. I am hoping to get 3 or 4 scarves done for this challenge and what better way to do it then on International Crochet Day. The scarves that I plan on doing will be going to the Special Olympics ;http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Features/Special+Olympics.htm.

Wish me luck as this is a first for me.

I will post my accomplishments sometime over the weekend.

Remembering this day.... Thinking and praying for everyone that was affected one way or another... I will never forget.

Vacation from a Vacation

Well the family and I just came home from Las Vegas. We have some family there that we went to visit for a few days. Now we are home and trying to recover from all the excitement and fun we had.

On top of all that, I have a sick little girl. She is clinging to me and not letting me out of her site. Which means I am not washing our clothes or finishing unpacking from the trip. Or anything else at the moment. She is laying right next to me as I type this and keeps telling me to stop and hold her some more. So, I suppose i should go and be back in a little bit....

New Beginings......

Hello to all. This is a new adventure for me. One that I hope I can continue to do. As I am not a very good writer/typer.

Anyways, I decided that I need a place to ramble about whatever comes to mind. You need to understand that I have so many thoughts and ideas floating around in my mind that some nights I do not sleep. So if I can place some of what I am thinking here, maybe I might be able to sleep at night again. Then again, maybe not.

Ok. A little bit about me... I am married to a wonderful man for, hmm let me think, almost 17 yrs. D works hard for this family so that I may stay home with our children. We have a 15yr old DD, a 14yr old DS and a 4 yr old DD. We have one mutt ( she is the cutest little mix of a dog) and too many fish to count.

I think that this will be it to start with. As I need to ramble, I will ramble here. It might be once every few days or mulitple times in one day.

'Til next time my friends....
