What Ive Been Up too

 Hello Friends,

It's been a while.  

But I'm back at it...

I started on another big project.

I'm working on another Tree of Life Mosaic blanket.

Colors are Sage and Creme

Size G hook

this is rows 1-9 and sry the sun is kinda dragging out the colors in this photo

I need get this one done by October Because I'm making this for someone's birthday But i'm not sure if that's gonna happen yet because of an busy life. keep fingers crossed.

I have few other Idea Projects that I want to start but I havent got them started yet.

The things I've worked on school has been out. Not an whole lot .

My family and I went to Jellystone in NC .

in June. And I made a Yogi the bear to sit it out in the park  for an kid to find.

we handed a little girl this yogi the bear because she looked like she was having an bad day. this put an smile on her face. :)  this is the reason I love what I do because I love handing things to random people to put an smile on them.

Then I made an black bear. and also put him in the Jellystone park for an kid to find.

and a little girl found the black bear.she said it reminded her of an bear that she misplaced that her dad gave her before his passed . she loved it. she name him the dude.

I have an video clipping on my youtube page I will link HERE on this. If you want to see.

I had an giveaway on Facebook couple of weeks ago. and the winner wanted an rainbow monkey.

and here's and Zombie cat and I will be making more of in other colors in the future

                                                                                   I hope you all have had an good and safe summer.

I have but its so Hot. I can't wait to fall to come. Here's some random pics of 2 of my cats.

                                                                    Here's Calvin. Hes 16 heres old. we rescued him since he was a baby. from a pet store

Here's Tazzy

He's 3 Yrs. old.

Ok thats it for now.

I hope everyone has an good week

This is why I create...

Hello Bloggy Friends, 

Thursday {April 23rd} was a heart-full kind of day 💛

I got to pass out my 21 handmade crochet  Gustavs to my grandson’s class, and seeing their smiles made every stitch worth it.

Little hands, big excitement, and lots of love in every one of those Gustavs🧶👹

This is why I create.

We also got eat lunch with my grandson too.

                                                                                                                                                        

                                                      Heres the whole class with there gustavs. 

Heres an Little clipping of it

                                                     Here's an Pic of my Grandson Helping me Handing them out.

                                            

 But I did eat lunch with my grandson why we were there

                                                                           Today Friday April 24th

                                                                                  My grandson came home from school and told me had an surprise for me. His class made me Thank you cards for making those Gustavs for them. Tears started flowing as I looked at them one by one. 

                                                              

I didn't work on anything else but on those 21 Gustavs until I got them done. 

so now I have other WIPS to finish and a Craft room reorganize and to clean lol

I changed the name to this blog. Im wanting to blog more about Crochet and other things that brings me Joy. so keep an eye on posts on here during the week. I'm gonna start posting more besides Just about Crochet an just  once a week.It really depends what goes on but I really want to blog more.

I wanted to share some of my moms crochet work. My mom was my inspiration. she crochet growing up. I got this piece hanging on my wall.

Here's the progress of my bathroom. we got the floors fixed and new tube an toilet is in and the sink..

we still got to fix the new walls and finish the floors .

                                                                         

                                              The old tube that was in this bathroom was made out of cast iron. and was heavy!

                                                This little bird plaque thing was hanging on the wall in the bathroom  when we moved in 20 plus yrs ago. I finally took it down. its from 1967 wow. I love antique stuff.

I love my house. its old and needs lot to be done. but this house holds lots of memories. from when when i was a little girl. from what my grandfather has told me because he grew up in this house. and now I have my own family in this house.

                                                                                                     I hope everyone has an good an safe week!

I hope everyone is doing well. I think or I hope we are driving into warmer weather. I'm getting tired of the cold.

I don't feel like I got that much done this week but looking back on everything think I got more done than I thought.

I'm working towards getting 21 of these done. Im making them for my grandsons class.

Im putting my diamond painting in time out at least until i get the gustavs done.

This week its gonna be an very busy week for me.

I'm having our bathroom which its fairly small to be redone.

so I'm working on getting everything out of there before they start on doing that  on Monday.

The floors, walls, new tub an new toilet and new sink whole 9 yards gonna be replaced.
