Oakley Baby

This is my second attemp at the ripple pattern. Not sure I did a very good job at this one. I only had a week to complete it (time slipped up on me). However the colors are great. My daughter in law said it looked like a Easter egg. The colors that new mothers are using now are brown and blue or brown and pink. I used the Bernat baby colors lilac, blue, green, yellow and pink. I have not used this thread in quite some time and it took some time getting used to it. Becaquse it is thinner and softer it is harder to work with. Or at least it is for me. After taking the picture it dawned on me that I had turned the blanet up side down. Can't take any more pictures I have already given the blanket to the parents. That is what happens when you rush things.

New Work for Preemie

My husband's business partner just had a new granddaughter born three months early. I wanted to give the baby something cheerful. I think these colors are bright and just perfect for the little girl. I took three pictures when I was working on this. The blanket is not finished in any of these pictures. But you can see how it will look.

Finished

My daughter asked me to make a blanket for a friend. The colors turned out very pretty.

Project

Started on a new project. My daughter has a friend that is having a baby, her colors are white, turquoise, and pink. I thought this would look really good in a zig-zag pattern. I have never tried one of these before and thought I would try it. I took some pictures with my phone but they did not turn out very good. I will have to post some later. For some reason I can't seem to add pictures...(insert heavy sigh here) I was going to take some pictures with my digital but I keep forgetting batteries...(another sigh)...maybe later

I am on vacation this week. And to be honest I haven't done much. I worked on my mothers computer, that may be the death of me. Ugh! I had all these plans on what I was going to do and so far haven't done any of them. Don't you just love vacations? I plan to spend the rest of my time the same way.

Took the family dog in to see the vet. Poor thing he was scared to death. Should be they are going to give him a personality change (snip snip, no pups for you). Last week he decided that a bee could be biten. Found out that they bite back. I don't know if you can see his swollen face in this picture or not. Bud is a funny guy, he like to bite water. Thinks he is really getting something. We got Bud from the pound and he almost did not make it home. On the way home from the pound he got sick and threw up! IN MY CAR! YUCK! I freaked because he threw up worms. Uhhhhhh talk about nasty. Bud is part blue heeler and that means he likes to herd things. He is always trying it with me, I keep telling him that I do not MOOOO, I might be the same size but I am not one! ;)

Went to see my daughter last weekend and took this picture. I had to take it wth my phone. Left my camera at home. (insert heavy sigh here) This is just a picuture of the side of a hill. I really wanted to take a picture of the indian metal sculpture but I left my camera at home. My camera phone would not take it. I also took a picture of a field of sunflowers. But that did not turn out as well as I like.
