Hello Rainy Day!

It has been a cloudy and rainy day today. The rain has come off and on all day. A really nice day after all the high heat we have been dealing with. Was near 100 most of the week. Too hot to really be outside.

A recent project. Just a regular granny square afghan. Love making these from time to time.

I am making another one simular to this one. Only I am using grey and yellow in place of the pink/ mauve in this one.

 We have had a really hot summer so far. How about everyone else?

Busy Weekend and a Rainy day :)

                        This is the only project I worked on this weekend. We were  busy all weekend.
This is the Lyn hat by Danyel Pink. I tested the pattern out for her. It is really cute and has some nice texture to it.  And the pattern was easy to understand and follow. I made this hat in a color called Frsoty Green. It is a really pretty color in person. :)  I think I will be making several more of these.

                        This weekedn was a busy one for us. Bob and I were chaperones for our Youth Group at Carowinds Theme Park.  We each had a group of 5 teenagers. And with a lot of rides to choose from- well it was just crazy running all over the place. And, it was hot on top of that.
 And then on Sunday, we had Youth after church at our house. So we had a large group of teens over along with several parents. :) It was a lot of fun having everyone over. :)
   We finally received some rain. It rained all day yesterday. And with that system coming in, I was finally able to turn the air off. I have the windows open and letting all the fresh air in. :) Love this time of year.
  I have done some more work on the Monster Scrappy; so I should have some new pictures to share tomorrow. I am really liking this one a lot. I can't wait to get it finished and put it on my bed.


       Have a great day everyone

A visitor

 Look at who came for a visit. I found him hanging around my patio door a couple days ago. Eww, he hung around for most of the day. And when I got up the next morning he was gone.

 Here is another view of him. I didn't know what he was at first. But found out later it is a yellow garden spider.

 It is cooling off around here now. And its quite cloudy today. Looks like we will be getting some rain soon.
These pictures are from the front Lawn.

 And here are a couple pictures of Kyra's shawl. I have had to rip it out a few times allready. But I think I have a good start on it now. I am trying to write it down as I go and maybe later I will have a pattern to go with it. I am using a WW yarn for it. The part in the picture will be at the neckline. I am going to widen it a little at a time as the length gets longer. I will add the hooded part on at the end. And I am thinking about making some ties for the top part.  Kyra saw another one she likes that has buttons on the front so I may have to make another one if this one works out.

Rainy Wednesday!

This is an extra picture I took from the other day.

(When we did the pictures of the new shirt from Noelle.

This is a new set of dishcloths that I made just recently. They were made with Lilly cotton in a color called Tumbleweed. It is a really pretty color.

It has gotten a lot colder over the last week. We were in the mid 70s and are now in the 40's and 50's. And today, it is pouring outside. Although we can really use the rain. I just don't like the cold rain like we are getting now.

I am still working on the Sandstone ripple when I have the time too. So there are no new pictures to share yet. I got all caught up in some other projects. Hopefully I will have some new pictures to share really soon. :)

Rainy Day

The rain has finally made it here. Can you see it in the photo? Its a nice day to stay inside and get some crochet done.





I just finished a new set of dishcloths this morning. I made them with Peaches and Cream Cotton in Shaded Browns. I thought the color turned out really nice.
