Starting Over

Last night ,I had to start the ripple stitch all over again…

I was more zigging than zagging…..

It was shaped so weird..

I am not discouraged at all….

I have to concentrate on the stitch more….

I will achieve my goal to get this stitch right….

I will post an update of my progress…..

Getting There

Getting There

Today was a long day for me….

Today was my youngest daughter’s field trip to the zoo…

I had a fun day with her and her classmates….

I was going to blog last night but I was crocheting until I fell asleep on the sofa….

It is getting there…slowly but surely…

I am so relaxed that I forget about the time…..I don’t know how I still have the energy….

This is my progress of the ripple stitch….

Right now,I am on the third row…

My hands are starting to hurt….

I am trying to take breaks between rows…

My cat ,Candy …She is 14 years old…

She tried to get my yarn…..It never fails that one of the cat’s will attack my yarn….

Let me know what you think of my progress….

Taking a Break

I took a break from quilting to work on my crocheting….

Since the yarn gets tangled …I put a straw on the loose end of the yarn so it won’t get tangled up….

Then I found a a baby wipe container and put the yarn in there to help with tangles and from the cats….four cats and two dogs…and ten fish….

Summer Again

The other day…I was talking to my youngest daughter …who is eight years old..I told her that she smelled like summer. She said to me” How do I smell like summer ,Mommy?”

I told her this “You smell like Suntan lotion and bug spray”…That is  how I remember the smell of summer …. I am re-visiting one of my first blogs…..

It is summer time again…..

It takes me back to when I was a kid….

Counting down the minutes to the end of the school year.

Sitting at a school desk ,while the classroom is buzzing with excitement.

Figuring out the plans for the summer.

Maybe a  family vacation,a road trip or going to the beach ?

My favorite thing was going to my grandparents house for the whole summer.

We went on day trips, going to the beach ,or taking a vacation.

What was your favorite part about summer as a child ?
