Snowman Army!!

Yes.... It's Christmas In January!!!


















This is an ornament I made for my sweet grandson. He is 13 months old. I meant to get a pictures of him WITH the ornament.... Oh well!!!
Anyway... I had such a good time making this ornament, I decided to make some more......

I LOVE making Christmas gifts for my friends.... but, when Christmas is here,and I think about making something... life to too hectic.... so, I try to make things all through the year.  Here are the first 3 snowmen in my army.... this might be all... and then again... I might make more!!! But, there are so many other projects I want to work on... I am going to put my snowmen on hold for right now.

Here is a close-up on one little guy...... I'm so proud of how they turned out!

The pattern can be found here

It's kind of close to Christmas.... so I thought I would share this one!!

Cute Valentines

Aren't these just the cutest little hearts?

I thought they were just ADORABLE.

So, I was "thrifting" the other day.... and came across THE cutest vintage sheet (my daughters give me such a hard time when I use that word..... you know, it IS just another word for OLD!!!)

I can't wait to put some together to give out to some sweet people in my life for Valentines Day!!

Reading???? in 2013

So, I am taking on a HUGE commitment for myself.
I want to read 12 books this year... I know to you readers that does not sound like much.... but it HUGE for me. I just DO NOT LIKE TO READ!!!
So, when I made the decision to commit to this undertaking.... I took a look at my bookcase (yes, even though I don't like to read, I have books on my bookcase... mainly because I WANT to read, and I think I SHOULD read.... but, I just don't like to read :(
Anyway.... I looked at my books... and I already own 12 books that I WANT to read.... I think only one of them (maybe 2) are books that I have previously read.
Now... don't get me wrong... I have a read books.... but... not many. I have read many "how to" books... how to be organized, save money, be a good mom, homeschooling. But, read for pleasure?.... NO. Don't have time!!! Too many good TV shows to watch!!! (hahahaha)
So, here are the books that I can remember reading just for pleasure:
The entire Left Behind Series.... could NOT put them down.... GREAT!
This Present Darkness.... excellent book!!!
Redeeming Love.... OUTSTANDING BOOK!!

Well, that's about it... (from the last decade!)
Prior to that.... not too many!!!

Now for this year's books:

1. 7 - Jen Hatmaker

2. Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis

started this one - LOVED it.... just never finished!!

3. Celebration of Discipline

4. Recommended by a friend - had the book for AT LEAST 10 years!!

5. Going Rouge - Sarah Palin

6. Captivating -

7. Redeeming Love - Francine Rivers

Read it once... must read again

8. 90 Min in Heaven

one of my best friends is SUCH a fan of this book - it will make her happy if I read it!

9. Slow Burn

another one recommended by a friend

10. Scarlett Thread - more about this one later

11. The Shack

oops - just remembered... read this one.... but, I MUST read it again!!

12.Interrupted - Jen Hatmaker

Now... I just came across ANOTHER book I want to read..... now the question is: do I REPLACE one of the books? or do I ADD to the list.... I guess  I will wait and see what 2013 brings!!

Little Punkins!!

I know that it is not the fall... but... I have been trying to finish up my projects that are half done... and this fall I had started these pumpkins. They were supposed to be this - but mine turned out a little to big, and too heavy to be a garland. But, I love them anyway..... look for them this fall when I decorate!!

December Crochet-a-long!

This month's December-crochet-along-project was a slouchy hat. Wasn't too sure about this. Not really a hat person. But... I think that I turned out nicely:

 

 What do you think? I tried to pick colors that I would ACTUALLY wear. 

I live in southern California, and don't have too much of a need for a hat to keep warm... but this December has been..... COLD!!!

So, it was nice to have a hat. 

I was really pleased with how easy it was to crochet it.

Can't wait for the slippers for January!!!

My Sweet Little Benjamin!!!

WHEW!!! December is over... another year under my belt!!! WOW!!! December REALLY went fast! So much as gone in my life. Here's just one thing: My sweet little Benjamin won a photo contest with THIS photo:

He and his parents are going to New York City for a photo shoot.... We could not be prouder of him. I have ALWAYS thought that he was the cutest baby ever... and now I have been validated!!!
