What I've Been Up To........





While I have been recuperating from my hideous Bronchitis...I had alot of couch time, to spend crocheting.

I got a cute little sweater done up, to match the hat I had shown you last week... 

I sure hope they fit Miss N!!!

I took this picture over 2 weeks ago, when my son visited with her.

Look at how small she is compared to his hands!!!

Just like a wee doll...for sure 💓

She continues to gain weight, and is doing well...

I will sure miss my 2 beautiful granddaughters when I am away....

 


My daughter Erika and Miss V sent me this lovely bouquet to cheer me up...

The days were very dark and cloudy, and i didn't get a very good shot...but believe me...they were gorgeous!!! I have saved several stocks of the pink Heather...

And one of my little Kalanchoes from last Summer, surprised me with a few blooms this week...incredible little plants!! 
 




I got quite a bit more accomplished on the Grey Granny Square afghan...

It is packed...to be worked on while I am away...

Along with a lot of Vanna's Choice Yarn for an unnamed project! 

The pic below says it all...

We pull out early Thursday morning...

And will spend the first night in Lexington Kentucky...

Wish us well...

I will be reporting next from the B E A C H !!!!!

YIPPEE!! 
Hope you are all well...and not hampered by these crazy bugs floating around...

          See you soon...

                Cheers! :o)

    Nora is just as beautiful as they come. She is so tiny! Reminds me of my daughter who was in the 3rd percentile for years. How much does she weigh now?

    I fell asleep early and now I am awake . . . and you are about to leave for warm weather
    I hope you get ahead of the snow predicted . . .
    Enjoy your warm weather . . .
    Love seeing your little doll baby girl . . .
    Yes indeed . . . I am sure you will miss her and Miss V while you are away . . .
    Soon those pink toes will be walking the beach, dipped in the water.
    Enjoy!

    Oh, you are off to the sunshine again - happy travels, and continued good health to you Linda. Baby Nora is the sweetest little girl, and already I can see a resemblance to Miss V! The multi colour wool is soooo pretty - would you believe I had a little jacket in that colourway for my daughter, back in the 70s :)

      I made that for Miss V a couple of Easter’s ago...it stayed at my place, so took advantage and used it as a prop! 😂

    Linda, You do beautiful work! That baby girl is just a doll. We had one wee one, too, and now she is bigger than any of the others were at her age. Love the bunny and the sweet outfit you made-colors are lovely. Hope you have a great day and feel better soon. xo Diana

    Been a long time but I've still be keeping up reading ... love, love, LOVE your gray granny square afghan ... did you use a pattern? What yarn(s) did you use ... I just HAVE to make that for my oldest niece for the coming Christmas ... if I start now I'll have a chance to have it done in time!! Enjoying your Florida posts ... glad you are feeling better ... was down with that "stuff" myself ... takes forever to get over it! Travel safely! Linda H @ Canends@Hotmail.com
