I don't have much time to write- dinners soon. (complete Thanksgiving dinner) yummy!
My dear Hubby finished (mostly) the book shelves. Put my books on them today- looks great! And my dear friend Robyn sent me a web site with this cute bunny pattern. Well I made 4. Decided if I was going to cut it out.... I may as well cut out more than one. Well I never made the pattern before. Had a few problems. Made a mental note- only one the first time you make a new pattern. INCASE you don't like it. I really like the bunnies- but I am going to alter the pattern with then next one... I think I can make it more to my liking.... but these 4 are CUTE... check out the pics...

(notice the one pink stripe??? I wasn't going to purchase another yarn for approx. 10 ft of yarn... so it's pink) 

Here is my project for Project Spectrum. My first full sized afagan.  

I can't even describe the feelings... of seeing something so beautiful. 

aren't these just beautiful?? 

I just love "forget me nots".... and the softness of the "lambs ears"...

Guess I have some catching up to do.... I just read Robyn's blog.... sure does look like spring is on it's way. Absolutly LOVE the dafodil apron.... my FAVORITE flowers. Mine are about to bloom. Just need a few warm days. I too... have been seeing robins. Just seeing them makes my heart smile.
Doc had me on some meds. that screwed up my blood sugar levels... made me miserable! I am just now feeling somewhat better. My dear hubby's 2 day book shelf project is still a work in progress.... should be done soon. I can't wait to put my books on it and find my dinningroom table. (and get the dinningroom/library back together)
I am dying for nice weather and some free time. I need to rake out my gardens and divide and transplant some things... before they really get growing.
I am almost finished with my project spectra.... although I don't recall where to send a photo when done. Guess I'll put just put it on here.
Got a new painting for my Flordia pics... another to the collection... from my dear sister Missy. Just need to frame it. It'll look great on my red walls!
Well... I need to get off here... before I go.. I'll ad some pics from last years gardens....

By the end of the week I should have new pics of my hubby's newest project. Not that there aren't tons of unfinished stuff that needs to be finished... :) I have a library. 4 (6ft) book shelves PACKED to their limits.... and one 2ft by 5ft wide, also packed. Well he had to move them in order to put up trim. Decided he needed to replace 2 with built ones he designed. Now they are 8ft high.... and I need to find a nice wooden ladder I can paint to match.... so I can reach. We are shopping tonight for the trim.... the back is painted and he only has to paint the rest. I can't wait to show all.... I think they are REALLY NICE. I have tons to do today... so I must run so I can start......

:) Sam.... 

Sam in her hat. 

Something I just made up- started as a drawstring purse.... ended up as Sam's hat. 

Baby's afagan (without trim) 

and it shows up.... figure that out....

I tried twice to get a single photo of the pin wheel tiles.... it said it sent and was posted. Where?? I have no idea. It wasn't on the blog. Guess I am off to put Sam down for her nap. Then I am going to make a "to do" list and read some magazines that just came in the mail.

(trying again-) pin wheel 

flying geese 

card trick 

card trick- flying geese- pin wheel- Jacobs ladder.... 

Here are some better photos of the countertop-

Top left corner is "card trick", top right is "flying geese", bottom left is "pin wheel", right is "Jacob's ladder".... got the idea from Grandma's quilting. I think "card trick" turned out best.

The kids are at school. Just Sam and myself here today. (and the girls of course) I cleaned off my counter and took pics of it to add to my blog. My latest tile work. I think today... I am going to make a list of things I want to get done by summer. (baby due to arrive at the end of August)
I almost finished my baby afagan. Just have to do the border. I need to plan a trip to Michaels. I want to get some mirrored tile to add to my pieces. I have 2 gazing balls to make this spring. Unbreakable ones. I need those. Having so many kids in the yard in the summer. Well I am off to accomplish something today.......

3-2-06 Continued:
Ever just need time to yourself??? Where your kids and others kids are driving you nuts??? Ever just want some fresh air?? And it's cold, icy & snowy out?? To yucky for a pregnant person to get out???? I just wander what I can do...... what I can get into??? Probably nothing. I am just in a BLAH mood.
I need inspiration........... a life.............. fresh air........

Robyn, here is to the 21st century.... miss you...
