Happy Friday!!

...at least it is in our house. :-)

WIP Wednesday

I finished the project I was working on for the last couple of weeks...If you'd like to check that out, you can see it here.

This week I'm back to finishing up a couple of projects that I had to put aside since the afghan had a deadline.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE CROCHETING?!?...'cause I do.





I need to finish my sister, Stephanie's Ladybug (or Ladybird as I call them)

-AND-

I've yet to finish GT's puppets.  I know, I know...shame on me...





Hopefully I'll have a couple more finished products to show you soon!!

 

 

SOMEthing's Drawn...

I'm linking up again this week with Mrs. K over at Mrs. K & Captain J to show off some off my favorite Draw Something's from this week...

I ended up having to have my iPhone replaced last Friday - long story and maybe a good topic for blog post someday - after a trip to the Apple Store, that feat was accomplished and I was back in action.

I'm totally digressing here, but have you ever been to the Apple Store?  One word.  WHOA.  It's an experience.  You should totally go there sometime and just check it out.  Crazy.

Here are some of my favorite drawings from this week:





One cracked out fairy...

 




Not a bad lookin' torch!!

 



Glad he got that one...

 


Pretty self explanatory.  Would you have gotten it?

   The next two drawings were done by my little sister, Leslie.  I still call her 'little' sister, but she's 28.  I guess somethings never change...anyway...seriously impressive drawings, don't you think?






I thought this one was super awesome!!





The Finished Product

If you've been following my blog, you know that I've been working on a crochet project...I haven't given too many details about it, because it was a surprise for the person I was making it for.  Well, I presented the surprise over the weekend, so I can finally share the finished product with you guys!!
Let me know what you think.  I love reading comments and hearing feedback!!

This afghan was the very first ever afghan I've ever made and it was especially for my cousin Craig and his wife, Litney who are expecting their first child this July.  Craig is a champion sheep breeder/raiser/shearer...not really sure what his title for that is, but I do know that sheep are special to them and our family (my grandpa started the tradition)...and that they have a lamb theme for the nursery, so....you see why I had to make this afghan.  I followed the pattern  found in Candy Crochet.

...and I'd like to think that Litney liked it.

(I love the face her friend is making...)



Litney's baby picture is on the left, Craig is on the right...baby's recent sonogram is in the middle...

How cute is that?!?  What do you think?  Boy or Girl?!?



It's Baaaack!!!...Time for GT's Book Review!!

If you missed the first installment of GT's Book Review...You can catch up by clicking here.

Since it's been over a month, almost two actually, I figured it's as good of time as any to do another Book Review.  I'm pretty sure right now we have over 25 items checked out from our Library System right now.  I know I've said it before, but I FREAKING LOVE OUR LIBRARY!!

This Book Is Great!!

GT loved this book!...this was a book that Gordon remembered from his childhood.  It was alot of fun to read.  GT got a big kick out of the illustrations in the book which provided a perfect picture for us as we read the words.  What it might be like to have a chocolate moose for dinner, or what an airplane hanger might look like...GT especially loved the illustration of the little girl being "driven up a wall"...He's asked me to read this one again and again!!

Awe...So Sweet!!

This book follows Quiet Bunny as he wishes he were any other color besides the one he is...a wise old owl (are there any other kind) comes to him at the end of his colorful adventure and reminds Quiet Bunny how he has a special place in the Spring Forest, just like all of the other animals...Really a sweet book, and very colorful!!  We definitely recommend this one!



Ehhh...

I didn't particularly care for this book.  GT liked it, but...sometimes that's not all that matters.  : )  This book was just silly.  No way would a moose (p.s. it's just a coincidence that there's another moose in this book review) travel south with two ducks...and NO WAY would the ducks be driving a car.  This book was just SOOO WRONG on so many levels...and I'm pretty sure I caught an underlying political message in the book too, which is a double tsk tsk...

A True Classic!!

This book is one from GT's personal library...actually it's one that I had when I was younger.  It's a really great book, filled with fun, as you follow little Nicholas there through the four seasons of the year.  Truly a sweet, sweet book and one that everyone should have in their own personal libraries!!  I MEAN IT!!  : )

Fun to Read

This book is a lot of fun to read.  GT received this book for his third birthday and it's one that we can always count on for a fun read at bed time (or any other time for that matter)...basically it's a book that gives kudos to all of God's creatures (although that part isn't mentioned in the book).  Here's to You!!


I hope you enjoyed today's installment of GT's Book Review!!  Let me know if there's any books you would like for us to check out at the library...we are always open for suggestions & I LOVE LOVE LOVE sharing that special time with my kids.

Bessie Got Dressied Up...For Mothers Day!!!

You didn't want me to let another holiday pass without a picture of Bessie, did you?!?

At least they got the sign right this time!!

God Is Moving In My Life...

I have never been more certain of anything...

God is moving in my life.

I had one of the most incredible, spiritually intune weekends EVER.

I felt the Holy Spirit lift me up.

Praise God!!  He is oh, sooooo good.

I will post about our weekend at another time...I just wanted to let you all know how blessed I'm feeling. 

I am praying for each of you to experience this same incredible feeling!!
