a day in the life…

Thanks Joanie!

Thanks Joanie!  My friend, Joanie, parted with this yarn.  It was in two huge hanks and Mark, Danielle and myself wound it into these balls.  The container of little bits will be crocheted into ties for baby booties and made into poms for hats – Danielle will be doing that.  On the left is a sweater started for Zach.  This yarn is Jamie and it has a satin thread running through it (it looks like satin to me) so I’m taking that out as I go for Zach’s sweater – don’t want it to look too girly.

Zach helped………………how cute is he?????????????????

Carrie and Chloe tried to help too, bless their hearts.

Trivial fact…………….how many of these do you think that pile of Jamie made????????

This skein is 1.5 oz.  The “pile” of Jamie is 5.5 lbs.  That translates to the fact that the pile would have made eight-eight ounces, which would be 58 2/3 skeins of Jamie (if I did my math right).  WOW!

Danielle gets a Thorpe

My Thorpe love continues.  Here’s a Thorpe I made Danielle for her birthday, with a little Carrie thrown in because she likes to model – she never met a camera she didn’t love.

Water anybody???

Here are Carrie and Chloe waiting for water to drip out of the tub faucet.  Yes, they have a water dish and yes it has water, but they like dripping water from the faucet or the tub.  Somebody spoiled them by turning on a faucet to drip every time somebody went into the bathroom.

The star of the show

We’re all in West Lafayette to celebrate Justin’s birthday.  Here’s Molly, the star of every visit.

Molly – sweet and cute

Keith and Justin went on vacation and we went to stay at their place and give Molly a little lovin’.  Instead of having her come and terrorize Carrie and Chloe, she had to stay alone at her home for a couple of days, then we stayed with her for two days, then she had to stay alone again until Keith and Justin got home.  This is the picture we got from Molly before our visit.

Beauty

How beautiful is this hummingbird in our living room window?

…….and tulips Corey picked me in his yard – they are my desktop on my computer at work – I love love love them…..

…..and Carrie and Chloe – the lovefest continues.  Carrie cannot just let Chloe sleep alone.  Carrie will go wherever Chloe is and squeeze her way in even if there isn’t enough room, and Chloe never minds – she enjoys the company.

“all day long………..this is all they do”

That is the subject line of Corey’s e-mail with this picture attached.  So without any further ado…….I bring you Stripes and Louie……..

“Someone is waiting for someone”

That is an exact quote from an e-mail from Keith on Friday, which we got on my iPhone on our way to visit Keith, Justin and Molly, of course.  Here’s our pretty little girl waiting at the window (really for birds and squirrels and not for Mark and I, but the thought was nice).
