Go Bengals!!!!!!

.....I'm watching the Bengals game here at home while Paul and Michael are AT the game...:-) That's O.K. ... I would rather watch it at home, stay warm, crochet, get on the computer then maybe read. ... Can't do all of that at a noisy stadium. They are up in the nose bleed section. Oh well, it's still fun.

Sissy in her Bengals Sweater that I made last year!!!

A few hours later....

My Wrap I made & Miss Devil Eyes...LOL

...Here it is ON me... I love this wrap... It's so Warm & Cozy. And SO SOFT!!! And then look at Sissy...aka Miss Devil eyes. It was fun to make... Easy also. It just took a lot yarn to make it the way I want it.

And here she is...SISSY... Looking right into the camera as it flashes in her eyes. I wonder animals eyes look like that in pictures. (?)

Night Before Thanksgiving Day..:-)

... I had to put this on... every year we like to PREP the turkey the night before... Then it goes in the oven for a few hours, depending on the size.



Here is Paul stuffing the Turkey in the sink...

And here it is ready to go in the fridge over night.. then it goes in the oven tomorrow morning.

... And me? What do I do? I tear up the bread... chop celery, dice onions etc. In other words... I do the prep work...:-)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving...:-)

My First Gloves...:-)

What do you think? This took forever. I love Fingerless gloves... but your going to freeze your fingers off if they can't be covered when you go outside... So I made this pattern. It took forever because I wrote all of the stitches down. So I guess it's my own pattern!!! MY FIRST!!!

They are Finger Less Gloves with a little HOOD you pull over the fingers when your going out in the cold. Also, this way I can wear gloves to drive and also keep warm. I like my FINGERS to touch the steering wheel.

See how I have a HOOD over the fingerless part?

The one above is with the little finger hood pulled down. I need better pictures I guess.

My Latest Crocheting

...Here is what I have been working on... First a Wrap I have been making for months. Every time I worked on it, I would run out of yarn and have to order more and wait & wait til it got here to finish it.

It's almost done now. All I have left to do is put the Toggle Closures on it. I want the wooden ones. I just can't find the perfect ones yet.

...Here I have it on my chair. I love it. It's a Dark Blue from Knit Picks. It's called Planetarium. Pima Cotton Yarn. SO SOFT & WARM.

Check out the little collar on it. This is the first time I made one. Easier then I thought.

Next is the Back View draped on my chair.

Last Nights Crocheting...

......Here is what I made last night. The U.C. Bearcats colors!!! By The Way... they won again!!! So did Ohio State Buckeyes!

I made these with Black & Red Cotton yarn. I need to make more of the striped. I like it best.

...And here I am waiting for Sissy to attack...LOL She gets anyone who is on the floor.

...She didn't attack ME... she decided to go to Paul instead. He had pretzels for her.... Little stinker, she always goes to whomever has the food.

Who Sends Crochet, Kint Or Other...

... Good Morning!

Who here sends Crochet, Knit Or other Types of items to our Sailors, Soldiers or Marines? And what do you send? So many times you hear on the Radio or T.V. to send blankets, gloves, scarves ETC. ETC. to them because it's so cold there. ( I thought it was hot. Shows you what "I" know..LOL )

But most of all... what address to you send things to? What address or group is reputable? I'm in a giving mood I guess... I just don't know where to send things.

Looking For New recipes...:-)

Hello All!

Just like every year when Holidays come around, I start hunting for new recipes I can try out on our family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I get the magazine called " Food & Family" ... Kraft puts it out for 6.99 a year. They have great recipes to try. (Tonight I'm trying Lasagna Roll Ups. )

I have to get going to the Library & Store soon. Then a few mounds of laundry to tackle. And speaking of laundry, try the new Downy. It comes in a dark ( black ) bottle. It smells WONDERFUL. And I'm one of those who didn't even use to use Laundy Softener before. I saw it in the store and smelled it and LOVED IT!!! Try it...:-)

Good Morning!!!

~~~ Good Morning ~~~

I'll be popping in and posting more later...:-) O.K. I'm back.

...There just isn't too much to write about right now. I'm just crocheting a bunch of Christmas Present bags.. Now figure that one out...LOL When I'm done, I'll post a picture of one.

I'm using up some of my stash to make odds & ends. It's either that or give more to the library for the kids to use. I may do that again also.

... I like that picture. Sissy & Michael. I like the way Sissy is watching Michael watch T.V.
