What I made today...

Crochet Christmas tree ornaments. They turned out ok, with more practice I think I can make better ones. The instructions were found here at Attic24.

The red and while ones are for a friend who does a red and white tree.
Hope she likes them!

Happiness is...

finding 5 Cashmere sweaters at Goodwill and one really fuzzy Angora sweater all for $3.99 each! Three of these babies were size 3x; the Holy Grail of sizes for sweater felting if you ask me. I will be making wool mittens and the Cashmere will make such a soft, luxurious lining for them. The angora sweater is going to be made into one of these for my daughter for Christmas. The one I am making will just be a really fuzzy version of the bunny and I'm going to do the lining of the ears with a small holiday print fabric and give it a holiday bow around the neck.

In Loving Memory...

: Nelda Sue Halboth:

December 16, 1937 ~ October 14, 2010

In just 3 days I went from believing that we had

at least few years with her to just coming to terms

that it would only be a few months at best - to being

told she only had hours or maybe a few days to live.

My first thought this morning was to call her and tell her

something funny that had happened yesterday.

{I will miss her}

My mom:

A sarcastic sense of humor

A funny little snicker when she was tickleing my cats feet

She was an awesome cook

Was a registered nurse, but told me that if she had not passed the

test to get into nursing school that she would have been a hair dresser

Married to my dad 47 years

Loved her grandchildren - Nick, Grace and Hank

Knew how to give the best gifts

Loved to work in her flower garden

Was kind

Liked to shop and was good at finding bargains

Loved going to garage sales

Liked antique pottery

Liked toffee

She will be missed by so many people.

I would like to thank Jeanne for being with her and my dad

every step of the way.

Vacation ...From a Year Ago

Just starting on scrapping our vacation to Mesa Verde from a year ago. I am so behind I think I'm ahead!
This page completely scrap lifted from a kit I got from an Archiver's scrapmania night - The Cricut font for the word vacation is Alphalicious and the Mesa Verde font is Songbird.

This one was supposed to be titled Sleeping Beauty but I couldn't make it work so I just went with Sleeping.
