🎈🎈🎈 Two Birthdays...Two Afghans....🎈🎈🎈







The month of April, is a very busy one for this family!!!

My eldest daughter is April 26...and my son is April 29th...

What do you get these big kids for gifts???

Yup...you guessed it!!! AFGHANS my MOI!!! hahaha!!

The brown/beige/creamy one was for my daughter...

The grey/charcoal/blue/black one was for my son...





I opted for Pom Poms for my daughters.....



And Tassels for my sons....









I also managed to crochet a few more Cat Mats....

The Cats really gravitate to these....strange,eh??

For those of you who are crocheters....

The grey mix was all Vanna's Choice yarn....lovely,soft, squishy, easy to work with.... 

The dreamy creamy beige brown one was Bernat Premium Tweed for the main colour, and a few of Vanna's Choice for the browns....

I especially liked adding the scalloped border to my daughter's....really softened up the edges....

I kept my son's border more plain...more manly! hahaha!!

They are always so thankful when I make them something...

And I truly enjoy making them for them. ♥️

Some people say I should sell them in an ETSY shop...but to me...it would take all the pleasure away. Not to mention the prices people pay for these type of handmade items!!!!!! How would you ever put a price on it????

To me....they are priceless...💛💙💜💚

These are several of the Cat Mats......



I have had a very busy week...

2 days at the cottage, working on the garden clean-up...

And we were lucky enough to have Miss V for Friday and a sleepover...

Her and I kept ourselves very busy...

Last evening...we all met in Burlington at a lovely wee Mexican gluten-free restaurant called "The Burro"...

This was to celebrate my Son's 40th birthday.... 

We had a really great time...and the food was fabulous!! 

I have put a few pics up on IG...but I will organize a post for later in the week...

This post is all about the CROCHET!!! hahaha!!!

          Hope you are all well...

              Enjoy your week ahead...

                    Cheers!   :o)

A Very Special Day.....





Today is a very special day...

My boyfriend is 70 today!

Who could have imagined all those years ago...

That we would be celebrating this!!

I have known this man for 50 years...

Married for 44 years...and now...celebrating this milestone!

                                        ***********

I must tell you about the candles above...

When my Mom passed away, her dining room furniture came here...

In her tea wagon drawer, I found these 2 candles...they have remained in that drawer all these years...and today we get to celebrate with them!! How cool is that? They will be atop the Key Lime Pie..(i know...an odd choice...but boyfriend likes it!!) He is not a birthday cake eater! hahaha!!

I have made 2 pots of chili...regular and veggie...kids are all coming over later...Boyfriend's sister and brother stopping by...should be a grand day!!

 

One of my favorite photos of him💓

Another fav photo 💕










We made it out here on Thursday...it was soooo windy and rough...80km winds!!

I will share more photos later... 




This is the birthday card I made him...

He loved it!! 


This was the Moon last night...on Remembrance day...Beautiful!!

Hope you are all well...

         Have a great day!! 

           Chilly but sunny here...

                Gonna jump in the shower!

                     Cheers!

Last week Miss V made birthday cards...

and wrapped a few gifts...

she gave Auntie Lissa this glass cat, who looks just like her cat JJ...Lissa loved it!! 




Hope you are having a great day...and that you had a great weekend...

We got to the cottage Saturday noon...

Don't get me started on the weather out there!!!

Do the letters   b r r r r r  mean anything??

Another chilly dull one here today...

Miss V still napping...think we will bundle up, and go to the park, when she wakes up!!

Cod is soaking in buttermilk...which will be baked to a crispy goodness...

Alongside some hashed brown potatoes,bok choy, and baby carrots!

Have a great day, and evening...

A Tall Visitor....

Yesterday...

As we read outside...

A tall visitor appeared...

My boyfriend gave him a piece of sausage...

And...

Then...

He wouldn't leave...

Hahaha!







A few of his friends showed up too...

Apparently...

They heard it was my birthday...

And...

They wanted some sausage too!

No sausage for me...

More chicken soup, please!

The sun is shining...

2 nice long walks on the beach...

Gonna celebrate with dinner out, another day....when I feel better...:o)

Hope you are all having a great day...

What were you up to today?

Cheers!    From the birthday "girl" :o)
