Happy Sunday and I am so behind in Blog land

FIrst off Happy Sunday to you all…. I am literally  stealing a few minutes  to

blog…lol.. I have been busy… Orders for my hats and scarfs, Love it….

and then of course little Allison keeping me busy,,,

this is her this morning helping mommy with the laundry…lol….

This is what she does at my house

taking all her stuff out of her drawer…lol as you can see she is propping up her feet to get to the drawer better.. Won’t take long she will be completely out of that walker..

Today I am  rearranging some  things so I can make room here next to my pc for some plastic drawer storage containers…. so I can finally put  my most used stuff and yarn readily accessible instead of under the bed containers…lol

I also go walking every evening… its been great I feel so  much better and seems like every couple days I can walk a little further….

here are some pics from my walks

I don’t know if you can tell but  the trees have started changing colors already… We woke up to a chilly 36* this am….This is in the front yard of a neighbor down the road,, I just love it.. basket with a stone kitty in it with a bed of flowers in front…..love it….

  

just a couple of my  doings……Hoping all my friends out there in Blog land are doing well and enjoying the fall weather

hugs to all Mausie

Happy Rainy Sunday

Oh  how lovely today is.. a slight rain,,cool  temps,,a lovely day to snuggle

with some hot chocolate or tea, with a good book or some  knitting or crocheting..Well 6 of my hats are done 4 are sent.. 2 ready to go out tomorrow.

Then gotta do a  hat scarf  for a little 7 year old girl to keep her warm when it’s a bit chilly out. Hope you all are doing well…

those little dots you see in the field across the road from our house are turkeys..lol at least  10 of them every morning come a grazing….yummy make me hungry for some  roasted turkey to be honest. But we shall leave these here to graze since I don’t clean animals…..I rather buy them all cleaned already…. hugs to all

9/11 Gone but never forgotten

In memory of all that  left us.  All that came  and helped

those families that gave their best.

We will never forget………………….

Love and Prayers….

Happy Saturday to All

As you are aware I have been watching Allison  during the week or rather from  monday through thursday’s. Yesterday hubby and I went to Hobby Lobby  and Jo-ann’s…. yummy yarn was bought and another purple  KK hatloom.

The reason being is  I have several orders for hats.. So take a look.

the first one I made….by the way  these are the german  flag colors.. well not the white but the gold,red and black show up well on the white back ground.

here would be another version  black background with the gold and red stripe…

and here my first try at a vertical striped hat. it’s a redbrown  with  a variegated  red,brown,gray,pink as the other stripe..It’s a bit more time consuming  due to the wrapping but its fun to make and look at when finished. Have to try to make one with a bit more contrasting colors to really show what it looks like.

anyhow some of my german friends really like the   german type hats and  put in some orders… so this weekend will be a marathon of hat making.

I finally found my  mannequin head  so  I can take other pics besides using my little model…lol. As you can tell Allison is not  to happy about hats  when I put them on her.

My cocoon is  coming along… working on the top part now .

Hope you all are having a good weekend. We have had a whole week of  just  slow slow rain. looks a bit gray all the time  but you know its ok. I love the cooler weather since I have more energy….

for today  you all have a wonderful weekend..Hugs Birgit

Happy Hot Hot Saturday………..

So September decided to treat us with a heat advisory with temps climbing to 102*…yuck, thank heaven we are supposed to have a cold front moving through starting tomorrow with temps going down into the windows and doors open category…..YEA…..

Abby likes school,,lol

waiting on the school bus…..

Looks just like here mommy…..

can’t remember when this was taken but Katie was really young here…..lol

On a good news front  Mom got home from the hospital yesterday….She still isn’t feeling up to par but she is getting better.

Oh Guess what I won…….Yes I won a $50 e gift certificate from www.germandeli.com……..loads of german goodies to order which I did last nite already……Couldn’t wait…..

I am still working on my cocoon  on the Martha Stewart loom.. gotta remember to take a pic of it…..

for now stay safe and have a Happy Holiday weekend.

hugs Birgit

Happy Sunday to all

Well my friends its been an interesting week here at Mausie’s house..

Hubby sick with the fly mom sick with the flu wait wait  the fly you say??yes  my dears…and mom decided to go one step further and wake me up at 6 am yesterday morning  with I can’t breathe,,,,,,Oh my with heart  problems and COPD  ambulance was called… well  her flu turned into pneumonia. She was at doc’s wednesday but apparently  the atb’s she got prescribed weren’t cutting it so by saturday her white count up to 21000 and  all labs just totally off. so  Mom is in the hospital on Iv antibiotics, steroid shots, lovenox injections,blood sugar checks ( no she doesn’t have diabetes but steroids can make your blood sugars go high) her O2 sats finally came up from yesterday morning where she was constantly below 80 ( they even put her on a non rebreather mask) but since this morning she is on nasal cannula. but still loads of crackles and rales in both lungs so  in she will stay a few days/…

On my front so far  knocking on wood I am well……

did have doc appointment wednesday with cardio,.he put me on a newer med called Ranexa  that is supposed to help with small vessel  circulation etc etc.. Lets see if it helps I sure hope so…..I am working on a baby cocoon on my Martha Stewart loom. I am doing it in the oval… long oval since I am making it as a trial for a 9 month old…I still like the Martha Looms…. I really really love the fact you can change the gauge on them  by just using  her different pegs colors…. I like the light blue pegs the most it  makes such a lovely  tight knit stitch… but for the cocoon I am using the large pink pegs with a hole skipped so its larger gauge especially since I am using the red heart cloud yarn. with its fuzzy ness   and tending to  just get caught in the hook and stuff I thought it would be better to go the larger way…

Anyhow all my east coast friends please continue to stay safe

hugs to all Birgit
