366 days of photos week 38

woohoo, 2 wks down!  lots of q this week as we had a couple of days where she lost 2 teeth in 2 days!  she had the tooth fairy working overtime!  :o)

day 257: 9/16 sun

tooth #1 pulled during nap while watching some tv, total of 3 teeth missing!

day 258: 9/17 mon

tooth #2 gone!  4 total teeth missing.  :)

hopp had her first picnic lunch, sadly it rained the next day so they couldn't go to the park as planned.  she didn't care they had one in the living room on the floor! 

day 259: 9/18 tues

this cracked me up!  i didn't care for the previous days pic just because it wasn't an "in your face" no teeth photo, i really wanted her to show off!  :o)   i love missing teeth photos!!

 day 260: 9/19 wed


it was nana night & i never feature lucky.  this is my MIL's dog, his name is lucky, he's so sweet, i wish she would let me take him home.  he never barks & loves the girls.  so what does that make him, my DIL, dog-in-law?  hehehe, sorry couldn't resist.  :o)



working on that CAL blanket, it's not a CAL anymore because everyone that did it has a finished blanket.

day 261: 9/20 thurs

hopp's teacher sent me this photo, she looks like she is about to hurt someone for looking at her lunch.  :o)

day 262: 9/21 fri

finished circles for the CAL blanket.  :)  just need 11 of the yellow & blue then i can move on to round 2...

i feel like this is such a waste...  all that yarn, kinda makes me sad.

day 263: 9/22 sat

q participated in the 1mile fun run that benefited her school.  she didn't make it the whole way running but she had a blast!



what's this i see?!?  why yes!  that's neon yarn at hob lob!!  i'm in love!!!  i have yet to buy some, not for sure what i would make with it.  i still drool every time i walk by it.  :)



working my dittos inventory, it calls for a cape cod!  hehehe

366 days of photos week 36

ok, i'm earlier in posting this than i thought i would be...
this week we have lots of cuteness, hookin', dnc, & centipedes, OH MY!!!  :o)

day 243: sun 9/2

took hopp to the splash pad on sunday morning with a friend's kiddos & she had a blast.  usually it's a nightmare getting her hair & face wet in the shower but she had no problems with it that morning.  :o)

day 244: mon 9/3

here is the pic of the coaster sets that i'm giving away, go like my fb page to get entered if you haven't already.  :o)  it was the hubby's bday.  he is a true labor day baby.  :)  he is finally as old as i am so he can quit saying i'm old for about 3 mths.  ;o)

day 245: tues 9/4

look how sweet she is!  i can't remember why she was in the front seat but she thought she was going to get to ride up there.  um, i think not little miss.  the back seat it is for you!  :)

q in her bunny foo foo outfit.  it's so cute, it has a little layered tutu skirt with it.

day 246: wed 9/5

took hopp to the dr.  she had a bad cough & it was a stupid sinus infection!  while waiting for her rx at sam's we came across this giganto hedgehog.  omg he is so cute & as big as her!  if they still have it i may go get it for her for her bday coming up.

day 247: thurs 9/6

i had taco casa for lunch & i love it!!!  it tastes like the original taco bell stuff.  tb has really gotten nasty lately, we call it astronaut food.  :)  i love the sauce at casa, it's so good!  i had some sweet tea, they have THE BEST SWEEEEET TEA!!!  now when i say sweet tea, i mean it!  it's so sweet, just like me, oh i mean like i like it.  :o)

was working on some hookin' & watching the dnc.  i know there are lots of you that don't like him but i stand my ground & say I LOVE ME SOME OBAMAS!  he has been so awesome with all the bad criticism!  it's got to be the worst job & he has been a complete gentleman!

day 248: fri 9/7

yep, here it is.  the centipede that was outside our office building.  we are out in b-f-e & we get all kinds of critters.  a scorpion was in the sink one morning & just this last week there was a rattlesnake in master control in the station! 
this was the best pic i could get of him.  i really wanted to put him in perspective of how big these suckers are.  that card is as big as a credit card!  the head is the red part.  they are very poisonous & luckily he was cleaning his antenna & i got a still pic of him.  he was really fast!  scary, gross but oh so interesting & yes he really is shiny.  it looks like one of those plastic shiny bugs but they really do look like they have shiny plastic bodies.

my fo for last week.  it's halfway done, just 44 more to go!

q was reading the diggingest dog to me & hopp before bed. :o)

me & hopp listening to q read to us, we got some crazy hair going on!

my friend maria sent this to me.  jess taking pics on the field at the high school football game.  it's a religion here in west texas & she is on the yearbook so she gets to stand on the sidelines & take pics.  this was before the game while the band was warming up, i think.  she loves it!

day 249: sat 9/8

the first parade for the girls.  i may have taken q when she was really little but this is their first parade to remember.  they loved it!  it's a really big parade for our area.  it was almost 2hrs long!  it kicked off the west texas fair & rodeo & there were lots of great cars, horses, bands & rodeo queens.  i will definitely be taking them to the parades more often, we have several throughout the year.  :o)

one of jess's friends asked me to make her a slouchy & matching scarf.  this is the yarn i picked out.  i really like it.  it's a pinkish red & worked great for my projects.  you should see them tomorrow.  it's first love by yarn bee in passion berry.  it's a nice chunky/bulky yarn.  :o)

fo friday with a giveaway!!!!

ok, first things first!

here is my fo for this friday!

yay!!!  i'm halfway done!  so technically it's not a finished item per say but hell, i got 44 of these bad boys done!!!  it's a lot of changing colors & weaving in ends (which i despise!!!)  they are GORGEOUS in person & i can't wait to start joining them together.  i'm going to join them in black so the brights really pop!  :o)

now for my giveaway...
i was doing darks & brights in my blanket but i decided that i really liked the all bright better so my loss is your gain right?!?  i have a couple that i kept for myself but i didn't want to throw away all these other ones so i thought i would see if i could get enough likes on my crochet fb page to give these away.  just click on that link or here & like my page.  i would like to get to 200 but i will do the giveaway at 150, i'm just 26 shy!!!!  so close...  also if you share my page & you are the one to get the most peeps to like my page you will be an automatic winner & choose which coasters you like.  i have 6 sets, 2 maroon squares & 2 maroon squares, 1 set of blue circles and someone will receive a special mismatched set, i actually like this set the best!!!  :o)  so anywho, go like my page & maybe you will get a coaster set, i know most of you can make your own but heck, why not get a chance at a set you don't have to make!!!  you can even give them as a gift, i don't care i just want them to go to a good home. 



the cute little mismatched set with a rare mustard yellow circle!!! 

 these are perfect for your fall/winter decor.  hurry!  go like my page!!!  ;)  oh yeah, don't forget to go check out all the other finished goodies at tami's amis.  :o)  it's friday y'all!!!

wip wednesday

ugh, i tried doing this earlier today from my phone & it wouldn't let me type or add pics!  so this is why i'm late today.  i have a special announcement today!!!

i only have 8 little circles to make into squares & i will be halfway done!  remember this from last year?  i was doing a bright set & a dark set.  i will have this done by winter!!!!  ::fingers crossed::

so on that note, i have decided to only do the bright set as i like the yarn & the colors better.  the dark was in redheart & i so despise the regular redheart!  anywho, i am giving away 6 coaster sets from the dark set, i can't bare to throw them away, i put so much time into them & they are perfect for drinks on the coffee table or on your end table.  i am trying to build up my crochet fb page, you can go here & like my fb page.  i'm trying to hit 200 likes.  if you don't have an fb page & you want to be entered just comment here & i will enter you as well.

this is what the coaster sets kinda look like, they are in maroon, burnt orange, navy & mustard yellow.  they are really pretty & are perfect for fall & winter.  heck, if you win them & want to give them away as a christmas or bday present you are welcome to but i would love for you to like my page.  unfortunately i don't always get to update my blog but i can easily update my fb page from my phone which is usually where my wips & fofs end up if i don't get them linked to tami's amis. 

also if you send some people my way tell them to tell me who sent them & i will automatically give the person with the most people sent a set of the coasters!  you can always friend me on my regular fb page if you wish, i don't have many followers on my blog that aren't already on my fb page but i have a few of you out there that are so kind as to always nicely comment on my stuff.  :o)

don't forget to also check out all the neat stuff in the works at tami's amis.

wip wednesday

today i'm showing you 2 wips

first up...


little miss em's bobble hat.  i was requested this many months ago when i made the first one.  i'm finally getting it done.  i just have a couple more rounds & it should be finished by tomorrow.  i'm using i love this yarn in ivory.  here is the pattern if anyone is interested.



this is the dark set & the only ones left that are not done through the 3rd round.  this is my goal for friday but i ran out of the navy so the yellow set may wait for a while.  :(  oh well...  i'm hoping to have what i can with the yarn i have done through the final 4th round by next week

that's all for today. head on over to tami's amis for more of those lovely wips.

quick wipw, again...

busy, busy, busy so here are the pics

here's the entire dark set & i only have 7 all the way.  so that makes 34 (i think) of the 88 all the way ready to be hooked together.  still a lot of work but can't wait for the finished product!  friday i will hopefully have more & show you all the finished squares i have.

this is where i'm at on hopp's poncho.  i started on the 13th row & that is the last row before i do the shell edging which will add lots more length to it.  this is her bday present & it really a quick one but i keep running out of yarn because it's not regular worsted yarn so there's not as much as a normal skein.  i'm using michael's loops & threads charisma in the dark purple (not for sure of the exact name) but hopp picked out the color she just doesn't know what it's for.  :o)  i love this yarn!  it's so super soft & works up really fast because it's bulky yarn & looks so cute in my bear hats.

 

ok, now i showed you mine,

head on over to check out all

the other neat stuff at tami's amis.

week in hair & an fof

first up fof...

i have 11 red, 8 yellow, 2 orange & 6 blue all the way done to where they are suppose to be.  if i hadn't run out of these colors they would be all the way done.  so that means i need to make several trips to hobb lobb to use that 40% off coupon.  :)  i should have 11 total in each color to this round.  i just started working on the dark set at round 3.  i'm not too excited about the dark set but i need to finish what i started.  :)

just a little different view



head on over to http://tamisamis.blogspot.com/ & check out all the fofs today.  :o)


now for the hair

monday, q had mini ponies & hopp headband.  notice that hopp never looks at me!  wth!  she is so stinkin' cute so i don't mind too much.  ;)



tuesday, q had a headband & had a mini pony with a bow, not that you can see it...



wednesday, q had a headband with a double knot pony, hopp a headband.  love that pouty face!!!  so sweet q is trying to get her to smile.  she was upset because i asked her to smile & look at me one too many times.

thursday, not the best pic but the best of the two i had.  hop had a mini pony & q a headband

friday, mini ponies for q.  love that smile!  we have a loose tooth again! 



BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!  today she is 3!!!  she is sporting the double mini ponies. 



i can't believe my BABY is 3 today!  they grow so fast, so hug your babies extra tight because they won't be babies for long!!!!  i can't wait to have her dino party next friday.  it's going to be so much fun!

tgifof!!! crochet-along :o)

 yay for fridays!!!  so ready for this weekend, i'm exhausted!  i do have a couple of finished grannies to show you guys.  i have one more that is ready except i need to weave in my ends so it doesn't technically count for fos.  :)

10 grannies done!!!

i'm running out of my colors so i'm going to have to start buying yarn to finish my projects.  it's all good, just an excuse to get to go check everything new out.  :)  i will have the hair update soon, until then have a great friday.  head on over to tami's amis to check out everyone's fos.  there are lots of really nice stuff out there.

it's wipw!!!

as this will be a wip until it's officially done i will post my progress so far.  i'm doing pretty good.  all but 2 of the 44 brights are through the 3rd round.  i ran out of my red so i have to try & find a match for it.  i think it was a discontinued yarn.  :(  i have about 5 brights through round 4 which is my goal before attaching them.  i think the squares are too big for my liking through the 7th or 8th round everyone else is doing.  so here are the pics....

the last 2 brights waiting for more red on the left, one through the 3rd round in the middle & then 3 on the right are finished through to the 4th round.  i can't wait to see them all through the 4th round.  they are so pretty!!

same as the above pic but with the curtain bag storage, as you can see i have another one through round 4 in a different sequence of colors in the bottom left.  these are all the different color variations of the red/yellow/orange/blue in the bright yarns.

just a random pic of all the different rounds in a random shot.  :o)

happy wipw everyone!  check out tami's amis for more wips.
