A Few of My More Recent Projects

*These cute little guys are going to belong to a girl that I went to school with. She is getting married later this year. When I showed her the book that has this pattern she wished she could make them but she doesn't know how to crochet.

*I made the larger set out of cotton and the smaler set is made of merino wool. The larger ones are the perfect size for a cake topper while the smaller size are great for a little keepsake.

I am also in the progress of making her a couple of pot holders that have skulls on them. I love the simple pattern from the Stitch 'n Bitch book - The Happy Hooker. I will post pictures as soon as I have them finished. Hopefully I will get some good pics of my friend with them when I give them to her. :)

*I crocheted this snowman for my godmother that collects snowmen. You name it, she probably has something with a snowman on it. No, she likes them but she's not quite to that point.

*I wanted to make something for her to bring a smile to her face. Unfortunately she had recently gotten the horrifying news of more brest cancer and has since gone through with a mastectomy surgery. She is currently adjusting to life after her surgery and is healing. She is happy that she doesn't need chemo or radiation treatment this time around.

*She was thrilled with her little snowman. Even a month after I made it for her, I am told she is still bragging to all of her friends, as well as my mom, about how cute it is.
The pattern for this snowman came from the Lion Brand Yarn website.


*Another project that I was working on was a Brain Slug like the ones found on Futurama. Forgot use the garlic shampoo. ;) This one was so cute and I had all intentions of keeping it for myself. Unfortunately I made the mistake of finishing it while we were celebrating xmas at my parents. My aunt who loves anything alien like was oohing over it so that is who now has this little brain slug.

*This adorable pattern can be found on Ravelry.

Ahh... The Joys of Being Sick

Actually, there is no joy in that. My sweet DB has brought me another gift of passing on his cold. Just as he starts feeling better... I begin to get sick. Unfortunately I don't have near as fast bounce back time as he does. So right now I am currently occupying my time between the internet, working on crochet and knitting projects, and catching up on my DVR programs. A shout out to those who invented the DVR, without which I would never be able to be up to date on my tv series that I love so much.

A few of my animals... More to be added when better pictures are taken.

One of my iguanas. Her name is Wolfe. I adopted her in 1999. She is now 18 years old. Quite an old girl but still has a lot of personality to her. During the warmer months she loves to go outside and eat petunias and sunbathe.

This is Athena. She is an 8 1/2 year old female ball python. She loves to soak in her water bowl for a week at a time. She is the more mischievous of my ball pythons. She has gotten stuck console of my car when she was barely a year old. She also escaped out of her house and took up residence behind the dishwasher, because it was warm back there, for about 3 months. She also loves to climb and roam the house when she is let out.
