The doll

 

Here's my take on a BlaBla doll. It wasn't going to be a flower, it was going to be a cat. But when I finished it was so ugly I decided to stop and started on another doll. But when Kiera got here she loved it, so I finished it with the petals for the other doll.

Sewing, knitting and Marley

 

Sew, Kiera needed a hat. Note the pun! Oh and of course it is Lime Green.
Knitting- I was going for a BlaBla doll 35-40 bucks and made up my own. I thought she was ugly but as you can see, Kiera loves her.
Carrie can put any baby to sleep.
And Marley loves my knitting. Ariann is moving along slowly. Too many things going on and being side tracked by knitting and sewing for someone else!
Today I was so spaced out, I left the house to grocery shop with 2 different earrings on-two completely different earrings. Ugh, either my eyes are going or...

Kieras take on the day!

 

Sorry couldn't pass up sharing this!
This ones for you Norma, I knew you would really enjoy it!LOL

Knitting and Sewing!

 

Knitting! and sewing

There has been knitting. I have made another baby sweater, have started Ariann again out of cotton fleece and am sewing photo bags for my mom. I made her the yellow bag as a demo and I swear my mom could sell you anything. She was talking to two bikers in the parking lot of Starbucks where we met while I was leaving. I had to call her later and laugh at her.
I love Ravelry. I needed 3 more skeins of Cotton fleece and sure enough, there it was in someones stash. 3 days later it is in mine, and for a song. Gotta love it.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Dad
Happy Birthday to you!

Kiwi is her color!

 

So there has been knitting! Proof! Made from an old pattern and Kiwi TLC cotton plus 1.5 skeins. 2 days to make. Baby things are the best to knit. Instant gratification.

Bubba

 

Well, it was inevitable. Bubba, our 10 1/2 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback has gone to join his best bud Meesha. He was our first family dog. We drove all the way to the middle of canada to get him when he was 8 weeks old. He was the best. Our house is so empty without him.
Even the cats miss him.
Rest in peace dear boy and run run run with Meesha.

I am a grandmother!

 

Here they are. Mother and daughter.
Both are well and beautiful!

I got over being mittenly challenged and finished them. They are done, in the box and will be wrapped today. She tried them on and loves them! Yay.
Next on to some legwarmers or "leglets" as I saw in Ravelry-he he he . sounds like Piglets. "I'm Not a rabbit, I'm just a pig!" My youngest said this one year, as she was trick or treating and about the 5th person said what a cute rabbit she was. Damn it she was Piglet. Pink and Red and all. And It was a great costume!.The comment was priceless!
Oh well rain in Vermont and I am off to work to balance THE checkbook-my favorite pastime. LOL, Really. I HATE it.... But, then I look forward to coming home and decorating the tree and knitting. Now that's a good nite!
