Much awaited pics for ya!

Let me say first off this is NOT snow! It is about an inch of sleet and it was slick! School here was closed for 3 days. I had quite a bit of trouble walking on it when taking Katie out but didn't fall. However, Jack did take a fall when he walked her. Nothing broken or bruised but he was sore1
Here are a couple pics of Jack's wall quilt all finished!
They are adorable and I can not wait until I can hang them up!
Now he is working on a small project. A bird house on some little terry towels. Cute little things!
This gives you an idea of what the bedspread will look like.
Now think of this for a moment. I have to make 12 of these large blocks. Each of them have 36 small blocks in them. Yep, that is a lot of small blocks! LOL!
Now I want to tell you about a website that is pretty neat. See that up there in the corner of my sidebar? The horse isle? It is a wonderful FREE site for you or your kids. I love it! They are very strict on no personal information being exchanged between members and it is monitored! You can not even ask someones age or real name. It is not just about chatting or a mindless game. And so called "chat-speak" is not allowed. Proper english only. You can try to catch a wild horse and you do quests that are as simple as delivering a letter or tougher ones where you have to reason and figure out what to do or find special items. Also there are puzzles and games that involve math, or hand-eye coordination and reasoning. The people I have met so far are friendly and helpful and it is really enjoyable!
So that is it for me! See you soon and have a blessed weekend!

Happy Valentine!

Sunday happenings!

Look at this glorious sunset! The clouds are starting to come in. We are under a winter weather warning for ice and snow tomorrow. Oh joy! Just as long as we don't lose power and no one is injured or killed!
I have made some progress on Ruth this week. Been crocheting also. I rummaged through all my yarn and managed to come up with enough yarn and a good pattern for making a new quilt based bedspread for the bedroom. I will be doing it in a deep red, off white, and an ombre called painted desert. I will post a picture later. Here is where you can see the pattern
THE HAPPY YELLOW HOUSE.
Jack is nearly done with his wall quilt and so that is why no picture right now. I will post one when he finishes up this week.
So that is all that is going on here. The birds and squirrels know weather is coming in I think as they have been on a feeding frenzy today. Stay safe and God bless all!

Dogs On Thursday

We had a lovely day a bit earlier this week with temps in the 70's. Of course we ended up having storms later that night and the next day. But we did spend a lot of time outside and this is poor tired Katie after we came in.
And here is a cute video of her terrorizing her newest toy the same day. What is weird is the fact that on the t.v. music channel Canadian Sunset was playing and just when the song ends.....well you just have to watch the video to find out! LOL!

Our weekend

This was our very stormy looking sky this morning. It never rained much here. We do have a chance though for some storms tomorrow and Tuesday.
I have two rows of my red, white and blue afghan finished. I have nearly enough squares ready to do row three. I needed a break from it so I did a little bit of cross stitching but I feel more like crocheting this week.
I started an afghan to give to charity. Caron provides the yarn, and I make and give it away. I am not sure if I will give it to Newborns In need or another charity. It will be an afghan about 30 by 40 inches. This one you join as you go. I also need to make 3 squares for the quilt raffle for Internet Min Pin Rescue.
Lastly, to answer some questions asked of me. Sorry, I can not remember who asked them. LOL! Someone asked if my stove had a self cleaning oven. No, it doesn't. I thought it did when I looked at it but I was wrong. I seldom have to clean mine anyway so I don't mind. It just doesn't get dirty very much when cooking for two. Next, I was asked how I join my granny squares. I sew them but I use my crochet hook to pull the yarn through rather than a yarn needle. Just works better for me. And thank you for all the loving thoughts and prayers on my sinus issues. I still feel punk much of the time but it has not been a week yet with the antibiotics. So that is all the news for us for this weekend. God bless and keep you and may your week be full of blessings and His mercy!

Dogs On Thursday

When the weather looks like this outside your back door, what's a girl to do?
Sit and look gorgeous with your newest toy you picked out yourself. Yep, she went to petsmart, met some other nice doggies and picked out her own toy!
Then you nap a little,
Then you nap a little more!
Ahhhh, it's a dogs life for sure! Visit the link in the sidebar for more Dogs On Thursday!

I apologise!

I am sorry there is no word filled Wednesday. I am afraid I have been more miss than hit of late with this. And I have been very bad at keeping up with everyone this week and sharing awards and all. I just have been feeling much worse than the usual things of late. Come to find out, I have a sinus infection which explains the sinus headaches, the more than usual migranes and just feeling plain old punk! So I am on antibiotics for the next two weeks. If it isn't cleared up by then, I have to have a scan to see what is going on as I have been having trouble off and on for 3 to 4 months. *sigh* So please bear with me and I will soon be rip snorting through life again! Oh and as if that weren't enough! A virus corrupted my camera program and I had to delete and reinstall it. Then the program fought with me and the computer and, well, I just flat got plain old irritated and was a grumpy bear so I gave up on the computer. I went, and set, and enjoyed peach herbal tea and attempted to crochet! LOL! God bless all!

I am still here!

Jack and I have managed a bit of sewing. I put together a row of my next afghan just to see what it will look like. now I need to do some more squares to do the next row.
Here is the Ruth project. I am working on the dark blue silhouette of the man and some of the clouds too.
Here is Jack's snowfolks! Not a whole lot of cross stitching left for him to do! He has some specialty things to do when all the stitching is finished.
Now, I wanted to share the colors we are painting the walls. Caramel for the kitchen and living room walls.
A nice green called guacamole for the hall and our bedroom.
And a soft yellow for the laundry room, kitchen cabinets and the computer/hobby room. Eventually we will paint the wood trim a nice crisp white. That will be nice I think.
We also took time Friday since I was feeling very brave, to go down to Springfield and hours drive away. We visited some friends at the pharmacy they own. Katie got lots of loving and plenty of biscuits too. then we went to a place called Andy's. They serve frozen custard and we got our favorite which is called a snowmonster. It is vanilla custard with lots of strawberries and some chocolate swirled through. Yumm!!!! Then on to petsmart for Katie shampoo. She even picked out her own toy but more about that on Thursday! So God bless all until next time!

Dogs On Thursday
