Crinoline Lady ...... (updated...Ladies)

Well... these are my latest addiction, only one is starched right now, but there are 3 done and I will post pics as soon as the Yellow one and purple one are starched. I just had to get some pics posted since I have been seriously neglecting my blog!!! I hope you like her.... she is a hit by all who have seen her! I am truly addicted to these, they are so fun to make! Easy too!

UPDATE...... The other 2 are starched... So I got a pic of all 3
together before they find new homes!!!




My latest towel topper addiction....

I love these!!!!! They are my fav now!!! I adapted the pattern a little bit to better suit my needs... but here is a set of them that have gone out..... (including the little fingers in the upper left going for them! Poor yarn obsessed babies!!!LOL. They MUST touch everything I crochet, knit OR receive as a gift!!! )

My 2lb Grab Bags from Peaches and Creme...

I ordered 3 of the 2lb grab bags and am very pleased with it...
I got a lot of very useable yarn! LOTS!!!....
A Ball of the Pink that weighs in at 17.2 oz!!! YAY!!! LOVE IT




So as you can see... Very good purchase at 6.99 for 2lbs! Score!!!!

My new laptop computer... 1st ever!!!!

I am soooooooo excited. When my computer dumped last year I was without computer and had to go back and forth to the library to keep up on the group activities and it was a real PAIN! And now with the babies it would be an absolute NIGHTMARE... so with my taxes this year I got ME, yes ME a gift.....

A Toshiba Satellite 17.1" Laptop Computer with Vista Home premium. It is NICE, NICE, NICE!
Very fast
Very nice graphics
NICE BIG SCREEN!!!!
4GB Ram, 64Bit operating system(not 32), AMD Turion processor, 256GB GDDR2 (?) HD Mem card slots, 4 USB ports and a lot more. All for are you sitting down..... 498.00!!!!! What a steal. It is such a nice computer! I am very impressed with it!

Her is a pic of her!!! And I cannot get a picture that the keys don't look dusty around the edges... not sure why, but I PROMISE... there is NO dust on it!!!

OK.. I have been neglecting my blog..

So it is time to play catch up...
I have been working on a lot of secret buddy stuff and have been unable to post many pics or it will come out before my partner gets it. So none of that til June! LOL
So enjoy the updates............
I have been working on some knit creations of my own and will be posting patterns soon! How exciting!! I am a knit designer (only small tho).

As you all (or at least part of you) know I have custody of my 2 beautiful Grand babies... Michael 3 and Shaylee 1... So my life has changed DRAMATICALLY over the last few months... I am a mom again at 45+ something..... So that is one of the reasons my blog is being neglected besides the secret buddy stuff....
But I have done some things and got a new computer with my taxes....
Enjoy the upcoming updates.
