Busy Hooking

I've been busy getting ready for a couple of Craft Fairs.  One in November and one in December.  I am so looking forward to them. 
Here are some of the things I'm doing.

This is the beginning of the slippers.  The pattern is from Crochet World magazine, October 2010, Vol.33, No. 5; designed by Christina McMahon.    


 This is the start of the baby sweater.
This is the finished one.
Pin cushions
I made these up as I went along.

This will be a throw.
It's the corner to corner stitch.
One of my favorite stitches.

Pets

My youngest daughter has a mess of pets.
This is Nakita.
She's the Great Dane mix.
BIGGGGGGG!
She's the latest of the bunch.

This is Kitten.
She is nearly blind.  She was rescued as a baby.

This is Tigger.
He was rescued at the Salt Lake City Airport when Rachel
worked there.  His people didn't want to pay to take him along.
He has mittens for front paws. 

This is the boys.

Grizz
Chihuahua , Jack Russell mix

Chevy.

The flash makes their eye look strange.
This is her little family.

It's finished.

I finished Rachel's sweater.  She said that she loves it.  I hope she wears it a lot.
The skull shows up well.
The ones on the sleeves don't show up as well.

I woke her up.
I put a lot of work into this.  But it was done with love.

Up date on Sampson

I forgot to let you all know what happened to Sampson.  (The beautiful feral cat I caught)
Well, he was too full of infection and could not be saved.  So they put him to sleep about a week after I caught him.
I'm still missing him and crying.  But I'll be alright.
I have caught 3 of the other cats who come to eat.  They were spayed and neutered and returned.  So I have 2 tuxedo cats and one tabby in my garage to eat.  The one tuxedo cat always looks up at the kitchen door to see me when I feed them.
I love cats, always have, always will.

Crocheting

I'm working on a lap afghan for a senior center.

The sweater that I started a few months ago is done.  I'm going to take a picture of Rachel wearing it when I give it to her.  I hope she likes it.  Oh Well, I like it.

I'm working on a bunch of stuff for the Heritage Center Craft Fair in December, so I'm not putting much on here. 
I did want everyone to know that I'm still around and just busy.  Pictures to follow.

More soon.

Oops! Skipped September

Well, I've done it again.  I skipped a whole month.




These are the outfits I got from Ma's Barbie Group.
I love each of them.  The other girls do really beautiful
work.

These last two pictures are of what I have been working on.
The one above is my witch for Halloween.
The bottom one is the start of a cover-up for my daughter, Rachel.
I hope she likes it.  I decided not to use the granny square.
