The Dog one will say "I am the Big Sister" and the Baby Bib will say "I am the Little Brother".. this will be a first for me.. as I never did letters before.. Pictures coming on this.. this is a picture of the bib.. first.. Picture is from the website.. NOT mine..

Pattern is from Red Heart.. I will leave it plain and put the words on the front.. will start this one tonight..

So far havent gotten far on them.. grin.. just still working on the first one.. took a break to do some stuff around the house, went to the store, had dinner.. all those kinds of things.. now doing some sales work before I get back to my crocheting.. smile..

Cloud 9 Slippers.. newest project

I am currently working on this pattern. finished one slipper.. now working on the other.. for some reason the bottom is giving me problems.. probably because of the type of yarn.. I am using Homespun and it isnt one of my favorite yarns.. sorry to say.. but it is thick and cushiony. which is what she wanted..

Here is the pattern..

Did you miss me?? Smile!

Sorry I didnt get here yesterday.. but I was really busy with catching up on emails and doing stuff around the house.. and I took a quick visit to visit a friend (and give her some of my summer squash... lol!!)

Yesterday I cut up a ton of summer squash and froze it.. and still have a bunch growing.. smile.. my garden is going to be overflowing this year!!  I will take some pictures later today when I am back outside watering (need to water 3 times per day right now).. and fertiziling..

Right now I am working on doing some major cleaning of my living room.. vacuuming furniture and pulling off and washing the furniture covers. Wanted to get it done.. as we got a few days of rain coming (promises.. promises.. grin!!)..

I like to leave my evenings for watching TV and crochteting.. I am working on finishing off a dishcloth.. then will be working on an order for cat collars.. smile.. I use this pattern..

Update on Gardening.. and still yet another pattern I found..

Just found a really cute pattern.. I have alot of leftover small amt of yarn (cottons) and some beads.. think these would  be nice scrunchies.. got the idea from this pattern.. http://nearmisc.theclaybox.com/?p=849 . Called a Cutie Fruity Toddler Bracelet or Hair Tie.

.
Yesterday was just too hot and humid for me.. worked in my garden fertilizing (yes, I use Miracle Grow.. only time I am organic is in the beginning... smile).. moved some pots around (got some catlitter boxes to put under some of the squash pots).. ate a quick dinner, took a nice cool shower.. and then just sat and crocheted in my room for the evening.. got a bunch of dishclothes done (need to take some pics tonight).. it just was too hot for my asthma..

Since it rained last night (finally).. it wasnt as bad today.. so I got a real good look at my plants this am.. my zucchini and yellow squash are coming up alot.. found flowers on my cucumbers and my pepper plants (both green and red).. and found some tomatoes on my cherry tomato plants.. YAY!!

Picked a salad for lunch.. romaine lettuce, some green beans, and a small zucchini I accidently broke off.. topped with cheese and some black olives.. smile.. nice lunch for me..

Just found this.. only good until tomorrow.. go and check it out!!
