I've taken up crocheting as a hobby, and all I can do is a few stitches and straight lines, I haven't tried anything else yet, these afghans took me a while to make, not the kids afghans, but the afghan I made for hubby and I, it is huge! But it was fun! Now I want to try to make something more fun, I'll keep you posted, reading crochet lingo is challenging!
For New Years eve we hung out at home, and Michael's mom has joined us for the last 7 years. So we played a game and watched t.v. and slowly took the kids to bed, no one made it past 11. I wanted to go to bed then too, but it was New years, you have to stay up till midnight. So we did, kissed, and hugged, watched a bit of tv and went to bed! Here is a picture of what we feasted on! YUMM-O
Emmalee turned 11 on New Years eve as well. We had fun filled day, we went for lunch, and to a movie, then it started to blizzard, just in time to get home and stay nice and warm. This is a card I made for Emmalee, part of it was made with my Christmas present, a cuttlebug, it is an embossing and die cut machine. I love it, I can't wait to make more projects! I also made that 2 yr calendar in the picture with my bind-it-all. I would have embellished the front more, but I kinda ran out of time, and you don't really look at the front anyway, right!
This past weekend, Cari, 2 of her kids, my mom, Noah and I went to visit my nanny is Theodore, at the care home she is staying in. It was so emotional. She is 10 years into Alzheimer's, and even though she can't speak straight sentences, just jibber jabber, she cried when my mom and her brother (nanny's oldest son) walked up to her in the dinning area. She loves children, and lightened up when she saw little Aubrie walking around, and she said Hi to me....And this picture was sooo touching, wow! Little Boedy, 1 month old, and my Nanny at 77.
