My Medusa Scowl

This is another scowl made with the yarn from storied yarns! This color way is called Medusa from the Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief Series. Now I will be back to knitting my toe up socks!

My Scowl

I finished my scowl I made with my Percy Jackson Kal kit.

I put a twist in it, sort of like a mobis.

I just love the colors! Next time I make one I am going to crochet it loosely. I crocheted this to tight.
I love it!

What I am Up To

This week I did a couple of things. First, I went to my niece Krystin's 18th Birthday Party. I can't believe she is 18. She got her hair cut. It is so pretty. She had so much fun around her family and friends. Happy Birthday Krystin.

You are probably wondering what in the world is this. Well I did some research and You can sew these together to make things with them. This is going to be a laptop bag. It will be done soon. I am waiting on my boys to finish drinking some more of these so that I can finish this bag. I am looking around my house at things I can reuse to try to sell on my etsy shop. Next I will be reusing my kids tshirts. It is fun to make and easy. There are tutorials on you tube.

She is almost finished. She needs eyes, and some more hair in the back. I also have to tuck in the yarn strings. She needs eyes fast. I creep everyone out at work with her. Help Mom. I need you to show me how to paint her eyes. I am still working 2 days a week. I am still trying to find other work. I will find out this week if I can get a job at Disney cutting hair. I am not in a hurry just yet, because Austin still has school work that he needs to get done. By the end of April I will need a job where I will get more hours. We will see.

Catch Up Time

Well I will try and catch everyone up on what I've been doing. First of all my son has been blogging for about maybe 2 months if that and he already has half the number of visitors as me. He is seven. I can't believe it.

Barry, Barry and Carrie went golfing for Barry's Dad Barry's birthday. Yes my husbands name is Barry and so is his fathers name. The weather was beautiful and so was the company. I had so much fun on the golf course with Barry. It was nice to get out and relax in the Florida sunshine.

Next

We went to St. Augustine. Aidan wanted to check out what was in front of the cannon. He stepped on the ledge and Barry grabbed him. There was at least a 20' drop. I don't get where he gets his adventurous side from.

Yes these shoes are still comfortable. I could walk all over the Earth in these.

Here is an Outfit I made for Ashley's doll. This is the other doll I've been working on. I don't know which color to use. Purple or blue for the sleeves. what do you think?

I have to admit, I sure was tired after picking up this golf ball. Austin just got up and ran around some more. I don't know where he gets his energy.

We've been getting up early every morning to go to swim lessons at South West Aquatics. I have enjoyed watching my kids swim. Here is a video of them.

So, I've been a little busy. The doll has taken up most of my time. I am trying to get it done so that I can enter it in the Orange County fair. My hands are getting tired. I miss knitting. My hands don't get as tired. My first sock is still going. I knit on it on the way to Disney. I hope to finish it soon. Sorry for the collage, I will try harder to keep up my posts.

Ashley's Doll's New Sister

Look who is here. She is finally back from the eye doctor. My gracious Mom finished her eyes. Now she can be with her older sister. I gave her low lights in her hair. She was a lot of fun to make, but takes me about 3 months to make. I can't wait for Ashley to meet her. Thanks mom for making the eyes.

Ashley's Doll

This is a Precious Moments doll I made for my daughter Ashley. The pattern came from a Leisure art's booklet. It took me 9 months to make because I was working weird hours and didn't have time to crochet it. I have made this doll a sister. I went down 2 hook sizes to make it smaller and added low lights to her hair. I would post a picture but she is still waiting on a pair of eyes from the eye doctor AKA my mom. She is an amazing artist. She paints them and they look amazing. I wish I had that talent. I guess I will stick to fiber for now. This doll was made with crochet thread size 3. I have a hard time working with crochet thread size 10. I drool over people that can. Hopefully I will have pictures of this doll's sister soon.
