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)

  1. 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?

  4. 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 :)
