    Ha! Got you to look! Yes, this is the hubby's "other woman". He named her Kitty, but she looks more like a Canary! LOLOL

"Cutes!"

    In this album you will find a selection of dolls that were handmade by me over the past year. I call them "Cutes!" because when my son was about 2 years old...that is what he called them!

Thanks......

First let me start off by saying THANK YOU to everyone who has commented, emailed & called about Christopher! He was doing much better...that is until yesterday. No more rash...phew...but a nice little coughing cold! He went to school....and when I showed up with cookies for the class (for Valentines Day) he looked bad. He was all bundled up in his sweatshirt...and was ready to go home. We were not home 10 minutes and he was sound asleep...thanks to a little bit of Robitussin! And same today! On Wednesday he was feeling really good...and I was really behind on some photography homework, and it was a beautiful day so I "bribed" him to go out and let me take pictures of him.

The message is real......

I have to show you something CRAZY WEIRD! I acted like a little kid showing my friends after I read it! Last night I was taking pictures at a Cub/Boy Scout event for my friend Vanessa. They had Panda Express cater the event! YUMMY! There were "fortune cookies" at every table in the little take out containers. One of Vanessa's little ones came to the table where I was squatted down next to and asked if he could have all the cookies. I said...wait...let me have one first...I haven't had one yet and I want to read my fortune. So I cracked it open and read my fortune and about fell over!

Fortune

omgosh!! How true is this? Missy will be here in 12 days! Out of ALL those cookies...I picked this one..wait...I didn't pick it..it was handed to me!!!! CRAZY WEIRD I tell you! I called Missy immediately. I couldn't talk...because I was supposed to be taking pictures and all...but I HAD to tell her!

I know that I have mentioned that I'm in a knitting frenzy before. I do not know what's come over me! Maybe because I'm cold...and it's nice to snuggle up under my warm blanket (and heater pad) and just sit there and knit. It's very relaxing! It's sorta like therapy! LOLOL I was struggling a bit...I hate to admit that...being the one that sews...but I just couldn't get down the transition from knit to purl back to knit. I kept gaining stitches! That was frustrating! The gal at our local yarn shop set me down and showed me what I was doing wrong and now I have it all figured out...well just the knit/purl thing figured out! Here are a couple dishcloths that I have made. I've heard that once you've used them, you'll never want to use the others again. Can you see the "beehive" on the top one? kinda hard to see in the picture.

And I've been quickly collecting lots of 100% cotton yarn....so I guess I plan on making lots more dishcloths!
