Lili Girl

I am babysitting my niece, Lili, until Thursday afternoon. I knew we would have SO much fun but I did not realize I would be SO tired!! :) Oh to have as much energy as a 5 year old!!

Here are a few of my favorite moments:

Lili and I riding the carousel

Lili LOVED the water park.

Her main goal was to get as much water on me as she could.

This moment was brought to you by my husband... :)

YUMMY!!!!

The kid in George came out! He was so excited about riding the carousel with Lili.
 I hope you have as good of a week as we are having!

Zoey's Baby Blanket



I am finally finished with Zoey's baby blanket!! I have a few issues with the ribbon but my sister-in-law likes it so I won't complain. Her baby shower is in a week and I am very excited about giving this to her... even though it isn't a surprise. Oh well.. I have a few other goodies to add to it. ;) 


For my next work of art... :)

 
I am making a pineapple sidewalk shawl. Trust me, it will look fantastic! 

Happy Saturday to you and yours!

Lili's Chic Log Cabin Afghan

I LOVE seeing my projects I have made with the people I made them for. Today my sister-in-law sent me a picture of Lili with her afghan. I thought I would share it with you:



Isn't she the sweetest?! Happy Tuesday!!

Grannie Jackson



Yesterday, May 16th at 5:23 my husband's Grannie went to be with the Lord. We are sad but happy that she is at peace. In honor of Granny, I would like to share the chapter in Psalms that she loved so much!

Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

We love you Granny! We will miss you!

Spring Fever

Spring has proven to be a busy season for George and I but I have still had a little bit of time to crochet!

My sister-in-law is due in July and I am making this baby blanket for her. I am not quite finished with this project yet but I will keep you updated!

Linda Permann is my favorite crochet designer! She just published 24 new designs for babies and toddlers and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this treasure! It is still a work in progress but here is my Hooded Capelet:


 This is the side view.
 This is so you can see the full view. When I am finished I will sew the top of the hood together and it will look more like the first pic.
I have three more inches to go!!!
I will post more pictures when I finish both projects but I thought you would like to see what I am up to right now... :) Have a great week!
